The question is ridiculous.

That is like asking "After informing the Atlas forum she was leaving, is Miss Scarletts return the next day a sign of her clear lack of credibility."

It's a loaded question.

Pete isn't gonna win over many minorities being LGBT, he is destined to lose NV, but he will get delegates in NH, and have sufficient claim to be Veep to Bernie or Cabinet in a Bernie administration

That South Bend official has also claimed that an epidemic of bestiality would befall the nation after repealing DOMA.

[GeneralMacArthur]

No, people give wayyyyyy too much credibility to randos they don't know just because they're from the same state as someone.

Here in Seattle we have plenty of morons in positions of local civic responsibility.  If I were ever to run for president and someone you've never heard of like Nikkita Oliver came out and said "General MacArthur is a racist" you'd all say "oh she's from Seattle she must know him" when in reality, Oliver is a complete lunatic who just says crazy things all the time.

Is Davis's Drunk Driving arrest his real basis for his grievance with the South Bend PD?

Really, how seriously should we take this less-than-sober "elected official"?  What's his real beef?  That he didn't get a free pass for his Drunk Driving because  he's an "elected official"?  Let's be real here.

No, but I hope he and Klobuchar drop out after New Hampshire and endorsed Biden to prevent Sanders from winning Democratic primary

IDK something MAD sketch is up. What other Dem candidate has Black elected officials complaining about him. It seems like he has a real you know problem with African-Americans.

I'm sure this official Mr. Davis has his reasons.

Well, as we learned on Friday night, Biden now has the chairman of the SC CBC calling him a racist because Dick Harpootlian called him corrupt for flipping to Tom Steyer after Steyer gave him $50K.

If he had actually said "Pete is a racist" it wouldn't have ended his campaign but it would have made for a nice headline that would probably hurt him a little.

As it stands, he didn't actually say that. He said "Pete tolerated systemic racism" which is 1) not a good headline and 2) for anyone familiar with leftist college rhetoric, is just calling Pete a white person, which, yes, everyone already can clearly see he is white.

[Progressive Pessimist]

No. Buttigieg is, and was never going to, do well with voters of color and even if this manages to hurt him even more with them, Pete's path to the nomination is not with them. It's the same reason why his somewhat tone-deaf responses on criminal justice, drugs, and race during the debates are not going to harm him in New Hampshire.

Big surprise. Pete supporters can't tolerate the opinions of a STRONG independent Black man.

[eric82oslo]

Of course it will. Although to be honest, his campaign was ended many months ago.

[beaver2.0]

Yes and he will commit ritual suicide.  The shame from this will be so intense Buddy and Truman will flee to Tahiti where they will live under the assumed names Jake and Tom.

This thread is also going nowhere. Locking.
