Doubt he made a deal with Biden. More likely his big money donors called him and said "if you ever want us to give you money again in any future race you'll drop out now"

Pete Buttigieg dropping from the presidential race [up: plans to endorse Joe Biden]
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
Meh, I'm not worried. Clinton ran an incompetent campaign last time around. Won't happen this time. Americans want to vote Trump out.
The big donors coalescing around one Anti-Bernie should help tremendously on that front.
His campaign organization is a mess, though, and more money isn't guaranteed to fix that. We'll have to see.
I don't think it's possible to pick a worse VP candidate than Kaine, but Buttigieg might be it.
Biden couldn't even beat an egg at this point. He has absolutely nothing. No charisma, no policy, no engagement.
Warren was my #1, and I know the 2nd choice split for Buttigieg voters isnt clear cut, but she gotta go man.
I'd say he will, speaking as someone who cant vote.
Anyway, isnt Biden running for Senate ? Jk
If he continues running this sleepy ass campaign, he 100% will. You can't just run on "Trump bad" (I wish that's all it took, but he won't win battleground states this way).
I hope I'm wrong.
Was this poll taken before or after Butti shit all over Bernie in the debates?
just have him livestream all his speeches and debates from South Carolina, the only state that seems to energize him
He's got a son that seems like a total fuck up, that's the thing that you'll be hearing nonstop and likely sink him, just wait
You better be prepared, he's young.
If nothing crazy happens you might see Pete vs AOC in 2028.
Biden has an incredible ability to stick his foot in his mouth at a rate five times higher than a typical candidate. There is no slam dunk candidate right now.
Biden seems like the most assured to lose to Trump. 3 Trump vs Biden debates would likely completely sink the participation rate of the election, seeing that these two doddering fools are the two choices.
finally.
Seems like a text to me, not a call.I literally just got a volunteer call from the buttigieg camp asking if I was going to support him, so I wonder if his staff knows.
Even if Biden manages to beat Trump he's still the absolute worst Democratic candidate to choose from due to his baggage that's going to just lead to Republicans doing all they can for the next four years of investigating to try and impeach him. They've already been all-in on hammering the Ukraine shit since was deemed the front runner that's just going to continue along with the usual obstruction and underhanded bullshit.
So what happens with the delegates that Buttigieg already got? Does he get to decide who they go to now or what?
The same exact thing will happen to Bernie and any other Dem.
No one will get a pass from the GOP.
I would guess Team Obama would hop on board and fix the organization if he'd get the nomination.
If you don't think Trump won't cook up some similar bullshit fake scandal for Bernie you're mistaken.
We should just stop this. No one knows what will happen. I wouldn't be shocked either way. All bets are off.
The angle against Bernie is going to continue to be "socialism is EVIL" as it has been for a while now. They'll go hard on those scare tactics.
The problem with Biden is that he absolutely will not swing to the left, considering his stances on a whole lot of issues from crime to the financial industry to health care to legalisation of drugs.
Its basically a "bring back Obama era politics (even though that's literally impossible)" and "vote Trump out" candidate.

But you need enough of them to vote and I don't see that happening. Trump has a very secure base of older white "evangelicals" that will all go out and vote on election day. Will see a groundswell of support for Biden to over take those numbers in key states?
I have my doubts.
Why are some so afraid of just winning?
They got a good candidate - Clinton - who ran a horrible campaign and handed the race to Trump? Lol
Seriously though, the country does not like Trump and wants him out. What are we afraid of?
The pro-Sanders rhetoric is strong here. But some folks really need to step out into more conservative swingier states where folks aren't consuming political media daily, where folks haven't watched every debate. Biden still remains popular and I'm pretty confident he beats Trump in a GE.
The angle doesn't really matter, they can obstruct just as well with either lies or the truth.
Whoever is President will have to work with the GOP, it's not really an option.
