Seriously ...look him up ...he is a shady dude ...a racist and he is also endorsed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee President, Steve Grossman
doesnt matter, most R voters wont switch because of the abortion issue, gun issue and an overall hatred for the dems. and the 40% hardcore trumpers will never switch over

@@robi6317 I'll never vote for a military veteran who believes in confiscating the arms of the citizens. It's what George Washington would recommend as well.
@@Creshex8 i dont know what you people vote on, the repubs do the exact opposite of what they say they stand for. less govt? = more govt control of women's bodies helping the middle class? = tax cuts for the rich. TWICE under Trump. less govt debt? = inflating the deficit to record levels under Trump. religious freedom? = yeah for christians only raising the quality of life for americans? = putting corporate interests first and gutting the EPA so they can dump toxic waste wherever they want raising wages for americans? = keeping in place the ability for the rich/big business to evade paying taxes and shelter money overseas protecting social programs? = whittling away medicare and medicaid
@@DiscountCyberTruck but does it really matter what George Washington would think? Are the opinions of a man who lived 200 odd years ago really relevant in today's society. Don't get me wrong, for his time George was liberal in his ideas and ideals, but he also owned slaves and he didn't believe in some things we see as basic human rights today. What I am trying to say is that we shouldn't look hundreds of years backwards for problems that are effecting us today. In George's day he wanted the people to be able to take up arms against the government should it become oppressive. In our day we are concerned about the massacres, the mass shootings and school shootings that are killing innocent people. I would just like to add this is just what I have seen as an outsider looking in, I live in a country that has the privilege of universal healthcare and tighter gun laws. Gun laws that I might add are still relatively lax compared to other countries.
Joe Gerhard USA you’re calling him a Marxist? Him? The guy who wants to cut the deficit? To protect capitalism? Do you realize who he is running against? Bernie Sanders?
Bernie Sanders did a Fox town hall too, earlier in April, and he did better. Sanders has the same positions on everything that Buttegieg claims to, only he has 4 decades of proof to back up his words. Mayor Pete was recruited by the neoliberal Democrat establishment to keep Sanders from winning. He's in bed with every corporate, Wall St, and military contractor interest in this country. He has the highest number of 1% donors of all the candidates on the ticket, at 24 billionaires. His campaign finance chair is from Goldman Sachs. After the July debates, he immediately set about buying off superdelegates, the Democratic party's failsafe for ensuring that only corrupt corporatists win their nomination if a real candidate doesn't crush the popular vote on the first ballot. His town of South Bend, Indiana, is mired in scandal from the police department's flagrant collusion with Buttegieg and his big money donors to rig the department's hiring of their leadership. If he can't control his own people, or keep himself from being used by campaign contributors in a small town election, then he is way too weak for the Washington establishment political machine. Pete is a former debate team captain and Rhodes scholar and is good at sounding smart and personable. But he's an empty suit and we cannot trust him. I voted for Trump in 2016 and I'm voting for Sanders in 2020.

Pete handled the town hall pretty well, I agree with his answers but I have to give also credit to Chris Wallace he was very professional and made very good questions.
Sumora he’s a democrat that will help conservatives too. His economic policies are truly spot on. He turned a dying city into a thriving one, and he even mentioned in part one how he wants to address the deficit, which is usually a conservative issue.
Whoooh this guy is BRILLIANT !!! I really hope Pete gets elected as President. There is not one negative thing about him . He is young and full of energy, he has a vision, Eloquent , Sharp, a Scholar, Honest and seems to really care about this Country. He also served for his Country!!! PETE BUTTIGIEG FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!
I am Mexican-american. I supported Bernie Sanders and I am grateful for all of his contributions to our national discussion. But I have to follow my heart and now I see that my choice has been made. I will be voting for mayor Pete this time around. I believe he is sencere, I believe he is the right choice. Latinos will be paying attention, especially here in the West coast Mayor Pete 2020!

Latina here on the East Coast! I still don't know who is better for the Oval Office. I hope one of them becomes the party nominee and the other might become part of the other administration or ticket in some form. Fingers crossed!
Geez this guy is prepared. I don't consider some of these to be "gotcha" questions, but when he's actually pressed for specifics and other people wouldn't answer or would give an answer lacking substance, he comes out with an escalated second-tier response to cover the base. Not even saying it's a good or bad thing, or that the responses or good or bad. Just impressed with his thoroughness. Especially because his polished/rehearsed wording makes it sounds so thoughtful, like it was genuinely considered before being built into sound byte form.
He reminded me very much of a typical Danish politician, well prepared, decent vocabulary range and smoke screening when needed. He does make his political intentions abundantly clear but when it comes to democracy it´s almost impossible to promiss as compromises are part of a modern democracy, he clarifies the agenda without making promisses, that is an incredibly difficult thing to do.
Vincent Florio - Pete has knowledge and experience and expects to justify his actions. For Trump however he is as much intentionally ignorant as he 'is' ignorant. If reporters expect Trump to not know, then their questions get simpler and Trump avoids having to explain anything beyond garbled rhetoric. Ben Carson and Betsy de Vos similarly 'fake' ignorance to good effect.

Lol he said it so honestly too, it reminded me exactly how my (adult) brother acts when I try telling him about something I'm into. He has no problem blurting out straight to my face "I don't care!" exactly the way Pete did 😅

@@Marchant2 yeah, ok...lol. You're one of the braindead idiots who fawn over this jerkoff who stupidly thinks unborn babies are the same as women's gallbladders.
This is how a person sounds who formulates understandable phrases because he uses his brain to think with. How wonderful would it be to see the USA have a President again who actually does have a character, no matter which political party he belongs to. And compliments to Chris Wallace. Let’s hope Chris and Shepard Smith continue to be the shining lights emanating from an otherwise dark source.
He is not self-confident, weak, has no own policies, will be easily driven by others in all sorts of directions, will bail out Wall Street if needed. In many issues he is not sure what is the right thing to do - maybe this or may be that...will be subject to different people's influence and interests. Worse than blah blah blah Obama. Of course he won't be even close to be Dem nomination.
“Driven by others”: are we talking about the person who is presently driven by Russia, China and North Korea. “Not self-confident”: are we talking about the narcissist who is a total looser and probably the worst business person of the century.
Sir Loxley Mendoza, on your: “Trump 2020 .......” Wasn’t there supposed to be a command in front of that slogan? And if yes, would you recommend: “ignore”, “vote”, or another four-letter-word?
we dont need to use an exemplary example of speaking like Pete to point out how bad at it Trump is. there are teenagers out there that could out speak and likely out debate Trump
@@sharpshooterparker - You stooges of the lying, thieving, philandering grifter got taken in by a psychopath who brags about sexually assaulting women and you morons found that to be an asset. Your opinions about the motives of a human being are very much as valuable as your "intelligence".
He's brilliant - Pete is the best - good heart - good mind - natural authority. He proves the point that someone who is actually a genius does not need to say it. In fact saying it most likely proves the opposite. Pete proves his genius every time he speaks. And also shows his expansive heart. President Pete - a salve for the wounded country
@Captain Jack Shut up already. Just because you don't like what someone has to say its fake? You must have learned that from Trump. I'm going to start reporting your posts as spam.
I've known months ago, my vote is for Pete Buttigieg. I do appreciate the fact he does not have to resort to hyperbole, rhetoric, "catch phrases" insults and diversion to make himself known, heard and remembered. I want a President who I can understand and depend on to use his abilities for the good of us all. His articulate speech is a strong asset in all matters. Whether he is addressing the issues at home or using diplomacy abroad, his placid demeanor is a strength that encourages others to want to listen. Not authoritarian or dominating, but inclusive. He is also very smart, curious, ambitious, motivated, genuine, and experienced.
*cringe* By all means speak to the strengths of the candidate you support, but please don't succumb to the woo of a politician. In business, politics, and dating, be very wary of people who talk a good game. A less eloquent individual gives away their intent. The sweeter the pot, the stickier the honey-trap. You have a beautifully written comment. I can reasonably assume you are an intelligent human being. I'm sure a lot of people would love to hear your feedback that reads less like a marble statue erected to a saint. (IMO)
@Captain Jack - Im sure you would, but you couldn't, because there wasn't. The only fact you can prove is your a rabid troll. Now excuse me while I listen to our next President on Part 3. See Ya there !!
Articulate, relatable and intelligent Mayor Pete has the potential of being a serious presidential candidate front runner. He knows how to cut through Donald Trump's political fog of insults and maneuvering to his advantage.
I am a growing conservative well..a independent but man Pete is calming to listen to and I don't view him as a Democrat just a man trying to do the right thing.
I have never been so excited about a presidential candidate before in my life. Pete gives me HOPE for the future. I loved Obama, but there is something about this man that just screams passion and hope for the future. I hope he has a long career in politics, because it’s apparent that he truly cares about people and this country. We need Pete and others like him to help bring us back together again.
Mayor Pete is thoughtful, reasonable, courageous and honest about who he is. People may agree or disagree with where he stands, but you won't wonder where that is. And he reminds us, "We're all people" and this country is worth fighting for.
Yes! He is a true radical leftist and a true Democrat - despises Christians, hates, conservatives, demands the destruction of the electoral college, support 9th month abortion, and demands that the name of Thomas Jefferson must be removed from all public places. A True Dem!
@@myfavs5393 He believes the person who gets the most votes ought to win the presidency. Nothing really radical about that. As a professing Christian himself, he believes in Constitutional freedom of religion, as Thomas Jefferson did. No erasing that. He is right that we need to do things to help the people get their voices heard in politics, which is why he is talking about electoral college reform and other things.
@@jackb8469 HE IS NOT GOING TO BE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE BUT IN THE MEANTIME HE IS EXPOSING YOU TRUMP LICKERS AS ROYAL POS. IT WILL HELP JUSTIFY WHEN ALL OF YOU ARE TAKEN TO FEMA CAMPS
Unfortunately, speaking eloquently and mindfully doesn't necessarily get you into the Oval office. Our elections have become a popularity contest that is won with big money. I hope this will change at some point but I'm not sure when. It is refreshing listening to Mayor Pete who can clearly articulate his thoughts and ideas and do it respectfully. Regardless of who wins the nomination I'm sure we won't be seeing the last of him.
Yes indeed! FF a year later, he played Mike Pence in the VP debate prep for Kamala Harris and I hope and trust that he will have a significant role in a Biden/Kamala administration. I feel he has so much to offer that it would be a shame if he's not given a significant role to serve this country.
Sumora can’t tell you how refreshing it is to hear someone acknowledge that. I never watch Fox cuz I personally can’t stand them, but it’s refreshing to hear one of their viewers recognize their biases
Pete sounds like the only guy Trump would truly struggle with on a debate stage. I don’t think Trump’s slogans would work against Pete’s intelligent and honest approach and I think Trump’s bravado could be easily punctured. I’d gladly vote for him if he’s able to win the nomination
Tho Le+ I'm not sure I'll vote for Mayor Pete, because there are other Democratic candidates I'm looking at as well. But I like him, he's intelligent, principled, and I wouldn't be unhappy if he is the nominee. Oh, and just ignore the nasty trolls.
Hyperbolic, virtuesignaling, he should not have said it like that. Big mistake. Overall a good impression, but that was just pandering to the outragemob. It did not fit with the fact that he laughed at the insults he had gotten from the Don either, and as a military guy, we know he is not thinskinned, so it cam off dishonest. He should not go in the DNC mold, he should stick to being genuine.
@@dnciskkk9037 Not at all... it was an neutral observation. Your response was emotional. "Virtue signaling"... is there a more pathetic term for delayed cognitive reasoning?? I think not.
Pete knows how to cut Trump with a knife and he doesn't even see it in his insatiable EGO. What a brilliant man, he is not afraid of bullies, he uses his words to cut....love him
@@dis2666 So sad that all you SJWs do, is try to hijack the shapiros facts do not care about your feelings, and fling it back, very sad. You never make it work. And it clearly shows that you have no individual thoughts. And logically, you know that the comment did not come from a neutral observer. There are like 95% Pete supporters here, and like 99% DNCers, and nevertrumpers. My response was all facts. So think about your responses to people, you are the one that is clearly emotional.
We need a kinder way of elocuting words like Austerity, War, Corruption, Neoliberalism, Militarism, Empire, Surveillance, Suppression, Propaganda etc. You know, in order to make them more digestible for the American People.
I appreciate his response to the questions about how to reach out to African American voters-he noted that he's planning to make the effort through both engaging with voters AND providing substantive policy solutions. Joe Biden's lead among black voters is baffling to me, given that his policy record has not been kind to the black community (i.e. 1994 crime bill). We need to move past symbolism and on to substance. Rubbing shoulders with Obama is NOT an agenda. Looking forward to hearing more from Mayor Pete.
I can listen to him talk the entire day. He is earnest, well-spoken and most importantly, his morals and character are clearly in the right. This guys incredible.
The one thing that never will live up to the constitution is how big corporations govern and what they do to corrupt the public government, trash the U.S. constitution and bill of rights by robbing the tax paying citizens of their right to have a voice in their government and assemble before their elected leaders with grievance regarding injustice. The fact that the very wealthiest pay by percentage less tax than working families and that Mayor Pete offers intellectually dishonest double speak with his "Medicare for all who want it" is one of the leading indicators of the disingenuousness of his campaign. I have ceased to contribute to his campaign and no longer have faith in his well articulated sales pitch. Note he never offers, "pay your taxes if you want to"
John Spencer Mead yeah if he was running for manager of a CVS. This man is so soft, he’s the type of guy that wants it all but doesn’t have the balls to stand up to TOUGH countries like Russia and China
Alex Parrish are you kidding? The elderly folks at CVS would eat this guy alive? Imagine if just one coupon was wrong. He would fold immediately and learn to code.
I'm a person of color and Pete is my favorite candidate so far, not sure why he doesn't appeal to poc. Perhaps it was that situation with his African American police chief, but he explains it in depth in another video why he let him go, and he did it for the right reasons.
Time for me to commit contributing a portion of my monthly pension check to Major Pete's election fund (specifically) for reaching out to peoples of color.
@@crimsonchrome3012 He did not do anything but sit on Obama's eight years of recovery from the worst republican meltdown of the American economy ever. Buttigieg won re-election in a city that is 45% minority, and won it by over 70% of the votes. Trump blocked black applicants from living in his apartments - can't re-write history, and can't ask for a do-over on your loss in the Civil War.

On the issue of appealing to diverse populations. No one who speaks seven languages is incurious or afraid of or insensitive to people of other cultures or races.

His policies are inclusive, reasonable, well-thought-out, financially responsible, and achievable. After watching the debates and hundreds of RU-vid interviews and speeches, I will vote for him.
To all my republican and conservative fellow Americans, I respect that so many of you are looking past party lines and at least considering this guy. I know from my own pride I would struggle even admitting support of a candidate that is not a democrat/independent. There's been so much division and hatred from both sides these past four years- I hope that if Pete were to be nominated and potentially elected, that those wounds can begin to heal. I truly think that Pete has America's best interests at heart.
Lol they did. Hillary spouted over and over it's my turn and not what she was going to do. He had a solid platform on every issue and thats why he won.
@@ROBLOXKING2421 Hush woman. He "won" because of voter suppression & troll farms via Russia and cynical losers who wanted a loser to lead them. Twitter troll Donald is a cheat and a thief.
They have asked President Trump the same questions. Some people don’t want to hear his answers, so they automatically tune out what he has to say. If they want to hear green, and he says pink, they change the narrative to fit what they wanted to hear, so they don’t have to deal with cognitive dissidence. Pete says he doesn’t like insults, then insults...blatantly hypocritical.
As a European, I really hope that he will be your next president. I believe he will take you in the right direction to our survival on Earth. Europe alone can only do so much to postpone the end.
Geez, as a fellow european, they should stick to the winning one, Trump for 12 more years. And stop hurting Denmark with this climatenonsense. Read some reports before you get hung up on it, and all hysterical.
WOW. Pete is so impressive. Not only is he the sharpest candidate I've heard in years, but the fact that he can command a positive comment presence on RU-vid of all places is an achievement in itself.
I hate Fox News but I have a lot of respect for Chris Wallace. Stand-up guy. I often wonder how he feels about the other hosts on Fox News because they’re so extreme and propagandizers. I think this clip answered my question.
