Overtime: Pete Buttigieg, Preet Bharara, Elissa Slotkin, S.E. Cupp, Andrew Sullivan (HBO) 

Not so dark anymore, he's just raised $7 million. Still early days, but he's a top contender.

I like him but i've got reservations about his ability to win. #1 he's gay and that's a big no no to many Americans. #2 he's only 37 we tend to like our presidents nice and wrinkly. and #3 he's only a mayor. people will hit him for only governing a city and not a state or congress. Not like trump had any relevant experience though.

@@poconofriend777 it's not like Obama had any experience running anything either. You shouldn't have to be a professional bullshiter to be the president of the United States. That is basically what a politician is a professional bullshiter. They are going to make promises they have no intentions on keeping or that they give up very easily with little conviction.

What did the 2016 election look like outside the country to people like yourself? I was certainly caught off guard and many of the people I know were as well. (this is a serious question btw, not snarky sarcasm). I personally really enjoy getting news from the BBC and Australian outlets for a different perspective.

Pete is a deep state “intelligence” officer with a couple of racism scandals going on right now. He’s a Zionist and is only interested in protecting the status quo. He gets all of his money from the rich and that’s who he’ll serve. He has no actual support. Notice the bots in the comment section on every video or post he’s in online.

Listening to Pete is like listening to Obama. He talks in a straight line and when he's finished, you feel like you've learned something. As opposed to trump (self-aggrandizing bully) who just makes you feel dirty.

@@pardunmeesuh5612 But Obama was a conservative republican so fuck him and fuck Pete.

A mayor?

@Vasilijan Nikolovski Look at his Fox News Sunday interview, & you can see his fiscal and hard numbers record.

Oh myyy I couldn't have said it better myself 😄

Fuckin love him, watch his breakfast club interview

When the other guests get a bit extreme he just lifts his eyebrows. He is not into stoking drama.

He's surprisingly a legitimate candidate. His town hall was very convincing

Level headed and focusing on realistic topics. He'd be a decent president like Obama. But he would need an emotional sidekick like Bernie Sanders.

Yes, he is very inspiring. You have to watch his SXSW Town Hall.

I couldn’t agree anymore. Mayor Pete decent, intelligence and likable guy

Sorry.... But blacks can expect more misery if he is ever elected. His victimization narrative will keep blacks on the democratic Plantation and as second class citizens, which is just what Lyndon Baines Johnson said he wanted to do... keep them tethered to the Democratic party. So now we do not pay [ the majority of ] Blacks to work, as opposed to slavery where we forced Blacks to work without pay.. either way they are permanent members of the under class due to weak liberal thinking. I know what you are thinking... WRONG... my career has been in the labour movement and human rights movement... I am a moderate. ....

Edward Harley I appreciate your views and would like to hear why you think that African Americans will never have what whites have? Do you think that racism will never die?

Everyone has bias reee reee

Beezus C Hrist apart from Jesus Christ, who judged nobody. You can’t be his reincarnation if you do.

I'm still keeping my mind open. I really like everything about him so far, he's the closest thing to a spiritual successor to Obama that I've seen, but if ends up being a SJW, I'm out. If it turns out that he can be gay and also not be a raging Justice Warrior, I will be excited to consider him.

@Ben Smith "And statistically, unarmed shootings don't learn towards black folks." If you're gonna make a claim like that, then you'd better back it up. Even a link to Wikipedia is better than nothing. I say that, statistically, unarmed shootings _do_ lean towards black folks: "A study carried out at the University of California found "evidence of a significant bias in the killing of unarmed black Americans compared to unarmed white Americans".[1] In this study, the probability of being shot by the police as a black, unarmed person versus as a white, unarmed person was 3.49 times higher. Unarmed Hispanics' likelihood to be shot was 1.67 times higher than for unarmed Whites. The number vary greatly depending on the county, sometimes reaching a probability of 20 to 1 or more for unarmed blacks to be shot. There are several maps that showcase the distribution of fatal shootings across the country. Contrary to popular belief, crime rate was not associated with likelihood of being shot in this study." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_bias#Likelihood_of_being_shot:_Black_vs._White

RedLightMax If you look at statistics on lethal officer shootings in America over the past few years, white victims make up the plurality. My source on this is Statista, which is a highly regarded statistical aggregation website. Yes, black people are overrepresented *relative to their population within the country.* Of course, we all know this. The question is WHY this is so. It is true that the African American community is vastly overrepresented in violent crime, according to the CDC. So a higher incidence of high-intensity police interaction between cops and the black community is certainly to blame in part for black overrepresentation in officer involved shootings. The other proportion, racial bias and yes, in certain cases, blatant racism, needs to be dealt with immediately. My whole point regarding Mayor Pete's perspective is that the divide must be healed through the building of trust between at risk communities and and the police departments that serve them. A cop will likely be more on edge and trigger happy on a call to a neighborhood with high crime rates and police noncompliance. A black crime suspect is more likely to jump to evasion of police process or worse if he thinks cops are simply out to lynch him. It's simple psychology and somehow the far left and far right can't seem to come to a common sense position on this.

@@TomSmith-gw6fn awesome my friend, perfect analysis of the facts, can you please get into some kind of government office or media Outlet. No joke real respect

i hope its not based on just this show

I love Bernie! And no matter what happens, we have him to thank for steering the conversation to so many points that need to be addressed. But the man is 77 y/old. He’d be 78 if elected and at the end of 1 term, 82 yrs old. No matter how passionate and intelligent someone is -and Bernie is both of those - health complications increase rapidly at those ages. I hate to sound ageist but I really don't want to ever wonder if a sitting president is mentally or physically capable again. That said, if Bernie were to end up as the nominee, I’d fully support him. However, if Pete prevails, I’m sure Bernie would have a place in his cabinet if he wanted it. He seems to have no problem reaching out to and utilizing competent experienced folks.

Exactly!!!👏👏👏💝

No

Thomas Yarnes I agree ☝️ I am quite taken by Mayor Pete.he is so refreshing and uplifting,just what we need right now. I am all in,he has my vote.

@Dicky Jones if you voted Hillary you already did.

@Vasilijan Nikolovski By establishing trust first, he's getting the attention of right-swinging voters who share some of the same common values and concerns. It's also the best way to get them to listen up and hear more. And he recently did spell out a number of his policy positions, and posted them to his site: www.axios.com/pete-buttigieg-2020-policy-proposals-90d48307-12bc-4bb1-873e-c6a6c670deac.html

I am not gay, but that guy *almost* makes me sad that I am not. He shows so much respect for everyone that I cannot help but like him, and his core values are so incredibly solid. I really hope he goes all the way. This is the kind of person who can make not only America but the entire world a better place, with the respect that he commends.

Preet is not that old.They are just 12 years apart I guess

Mbiggz yes, exactly right! He is no nonsense, intelligent and mature!

Wish he won. Maybe someday down the line, the guy has a very bright future in public office.

What did Andrew Sullivan say?? I cannot understand it for the life of me Edit: “and has probably never felt up a woman?” Is that it??

I've heard him speak English, French, Spanish fluently. He also knows Dari (Afghan Persian), Norwegian, Italian, Maltese and ARABIC. I really want to hear him address the people of the Arab world in their own language. It would be such great counter-propaganda to the religious extremist haters in those countries.

@@AbcDef-ww2gy it would be truly be hilarious having an intellectual speaking to them directly😂

@@ashenmoonclash It would be hilarious for us, but it would be a big deal for the Arab world, coming after President Trump's proposed Muslim ban.

He became massively popular in the Arab world. And he was also gay...

Clown Clownolulu Nah. I think we’ll stick with Trump. MAGA 2020!!!!!

Yes. It was painfully obvious that Bill did not like Preet's not feeding into Bill's agenda on the Mueller report. Bill usually gives guests a little more leeway. That's what was disappointing.

Agreed! I was looking forward to his explanation, which Bill didn't want to hear. I'm equally as frustrated, but give Preet some tome to answer!

Sullivan and to a lesser degree Cupp love to hear themselves talk. They haven’t accomplished anything besides running their mouths.

@Michael Duran It seemed to me like Bill was threatened by Pete's intelligence. He seemed to want to cut him off the most during this interview and I really would have preferred to hear more of what Pete had to say. I always love hearing his well thought out and articulated response to any and every question that's been thrown at him in the multiple interviews that I have watched with him thus far.

@Lelouch vi Britannia I need to learn more about Tulsi. Yang did concern me with the way he speaks about immigrant, it seems a bit harsh... there's more to learn about him.

Why not Tulsi?

@Lelouch vi Britannia Yang has good ideas, and also directly represents coastal elites to swing voters. Big nope from me. What got me to drop him entirely was finding out he is anti-circumcision. Why the hell does he have any position on that all? Cultural war issues should not be part of political campaigns at all in a perfect polity.

@Lelouch vi Britannia I haven't read into Yang too, yet, but a friend screenshotted his website on immigration and the language of "they shouldn't be here" and "they have to earn" their way or something like that seemed more strongly worded than I'd have expected. I'm not a proponent of illegal immigration, but I prefer a measured approach to it. It didn't turn me off from him, but it did show that I need to read more into his exact policies. For all I know, he speaks that way, in general, so I don't want to judge, but I do want to be informed :) Kamala Harris is interesting too, but I don't know enough; some have raised concerns, but those concerns might be invalid, in my eyes, so I wait before I'd endorse her too.

@@r3drift I haven't done my homework on her yet :) I've heard more good than bad about her, but I haven't heard something that really grabs my attention. Buttigeig: a mayor, scholar, vet, and will be alive to witnesses the consequences of his presidency. Sanders: history of doing the right thing, genuinely cares about society's well-being. Warren: policy minded, interested in legislatively taking money out of politics, focus on doing the right thing. I need my own quick summaries for Harris, Yang, and Gabbard :)

Hear, hear!

only way to do that is to get rid of FPTP voting.

@@VoodooV1 not true. Canada has a fptp system and still has more than two political parties. You just need people to think for themselves and vote for the person who best represents them regardless of party.

@@WhatACoolArrow Regardless of what you believe, people do think for themselves. No one is holding a gun to their head all the way to the voting booth to vote for x or y. People have varied upbringings/experiences and knowledge, which determines the methods of how they construct meaning to the world around them. We have to understand that we are a ethnically, politically, religiously, geographically and intellectually diverse country, so expecting FPTP to be an effective system cannot work for much longer. One look at the political system that we have today has been enough for the brightest minds in politics to reevaluate the entire structure of our government. We need to figure out what we are going to do to promote more representation among people who's voices are being drowned out by the two party system that we have today.

I thought it was a silly joke. Sullivan is also gay and Pete made the shrug face. Its ok to make jokes.

@@anthonymurphy818 your silly is my stupid.

Dale Jones don't be dumb - vote Bernie! but Pete should have cabinet job!

Remember Trump University? It worked there, too. Few people remember that Trump actively participated in defrauding middle and working class people out of their retirement savings.

They are excellent. And her lipstick is 🔥. And hair 😍. So well put together.

I think the problem comes with him also claiming to be a christian. I know the first reaction to this statement is probably going to be : HOMOPHOBIC!!! But, think about it. He is a man whom is wiling to completely twist his morals and belifs to live in something he knows is a lie. That is bound to make most people with a shred of biblical knowledge (granted that is not representative of most americans) mistrust him.

Trump was, however, saying it's ok to be white, or ok to be male. The other party was saying white males are to blame for virtually ALL of the nation's problems, and calling anybody who disagreed with them racist. Apart from a strong distaste for politics-as-usual and the stick-in-the-eye a vote for Trump would deliver, I believe the above was a big factor in why average blue collar workers abandoned the Dems after decades of loyalty.

I hear you, but you also have to give people an out if you're going to get a swing voter to vote for you

@@georgehugh3455 quite insightful

Exactly!

@The Irish Italian I'd agree that they are turning off potential voters unnecessarily. It's even stranger when the labeling/name-calling becomes so ingrained that liberals call out fellow liberals because _"they're not Progressive enough."_

You support SEXUAL PREDATOR JOE BIDEN? LMAO... What do you mean just appeal to the base? Appealing to the base on progressive economic policy is appealing to the country based on the polling. Vague terms of "appealing to base" mean nothing when the majority of the country IS already behind the policies. Again, You are using vague terms that mean nothing. To appeal to a plurality of voters you need progressive economic policies which are labeled as populist... labels mean nothing -- it's all circular. You need to do things for people.

What's with the need to pidgeon-hole & label every new approach, @neosoontoretro. How about dropping the ego a little and engaging with what they have to say. Just be curious; try listening to "them progressives" without constraining your perceptions and critical thinking skills with your own arbitrary classification construct.

@@Julian-rp4gc EXACTLY! That Rep literally just described third way Clinton campaign style and she got curb stomped by Trump. Appeal to the base, vigorously defend liberal positions. Offering platitudes about empathy and togetherness will be a disaster. Also, the DNC has to stay the hell out of it. They and the Clinton campaign machine are clearly the reason why the previous DEM primary consisted of like 4 people in which the 1 person was so obvious it felt like we didn't really have a choice. AND if a moderate democrat wins, very likely due to DNC chicanery, they need to pick a progressive as their running mate. I don't wanna hear establishment democrats who refuse to unite the party talk about party unity as if they don't really mean progressive submission. Would Clinton have won if she picked Bernie, hard to say, but it would have shown the party was unified. Couldn't have hurt.

@@Julian-rp4gc Huh no, the majority of the country is NOT already behind the polices. Medicare for all is NOT a policy just a general idea that any reasonable person can get behind. If you ask them about specifics that is when the polls shift. Sorry, but labels can be useful in describing what we're actually talking about. In order to appeal to plurality of voters you need specific plans that will affect them in their everyday lives. NOT bullsh*t labels like "populist", that is what literally means nothing.

@@eleanorsmith5264 Wow, way to say nothing with so many words. You're obviously not listening to progressive when they tell that your way of doing things isn't the only way of doing things.

Because the establishment is working overtime to smear him, and has been for years.

The DNC stole the 2016 Primary from Bernie Sanders, and that should tell you who's in control! The Democratic Party, is not Left, they are Center-Left, and that means they will burn him again in 2020. The DNC helped Trump win, when they did that to Bernie. Many Bernie voters voted for Trump, out of resistants to the DNC corruption. so if there's anyone to blame for Trump being president it's Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Because Bernie had the votes Bernie could have won if the Democratic party, would have let him. Look for a repeat in 2020!

Also "they care about immigration". Immigration is determined by national laws, not by the EU.

Because Sullivan just makes up whatever he wants to be true. He knows half of the British voters were duped because their ignorance and racism was appealed to. That’s inconvenient for Sullivan though, so his own racist ass spins it into “pragmatism.”

Agreed. Everyone claims to value families and uplifting the poor and marginalized. But what is a policy platform that will achieve those values? And how many candidates run on such a platform?

@@CptApplestrudl how much policy did you expect to hear in this segment and his interview earlier? He was not asked policy questions. If you want to know more, look up longer interviews of him. He's the least vague candidate I've found. He'll often give an example of something he did as mayor that's relevant, too.

Today I've seen a few other interviews, and he talks about policy impacting our everyday, rather than things like 'togetherness'. Like his DOJ and funding statement. Valuing police reform and having resources to do it. Specifically, Real values, not cliche values. Can't be too dry (though that transparency would be awesome!)
