“I have a hard time seeing the coalition ultimately coming together there,” Mayor Buttigieg told @jmartNYT, when asked about Senator Sanders.
Not only is this a smear, it is just plain wrong.
65,844,610 million of us came together to support our nominee(or 2 vote against Trump/GOP) in 2016, Mayor Pete.
ANYONE that wins either the Democratic or Republican Primary CAN win the General Election.
You need proof???? Donald Trump is President!
Stop the bullshit smearing campaign of our Democratic Candidates! Every candidate we have CAN win the General including Mayor Pete.
FFS people knock it off.
Update before publishing: I view inferring a Dem candidate can’t beat Trump is a smear. It does not help any of our candidates to make these comments.
Update 1:13 PM EST:
I updated the title, *smear* is the wrong semantic choice and I relent.
If candidate X says I’m a better choice than candidate Y based on these policy issues or because of these identity politics, I have no problem with that. But if candidate X says I don’t think candidate Y can beat TRUMP, then that is wrong and that is the point I’m making.
In 2016 as a Bernie supporter I pushed back against any/all folks who claimed that Clinton could not beat Trump.
