Trump says al-Baghdadi died 'screaming and crying.' U.S. officials aren't sure how he knows that.

I said with charisma, Beto isn't that likeable and he is a terrible speaker. I know it's a pipe dream to get a candidate who could excite and speak like Obama, but something closer than what we got would be good. I know it shouldn't matter, but it does. Trump keeps his base because he talks like them, reasons like them. those hillbilly fuckers at his rallies wouldn't know a policy other than 'keep the fucking Mexicans oTt and don't take my AR 15' if it hit them upside the head. The democrats don't have to be so radical. Like medicare for all, I am absolutely for it, but don't do it all at once and force people off their plans, that scares people. Do a public option that is better and cheaper than the for profit insurance companies, employers always looking to cut costs will see the savings and you end up at the same place over a longer period of time.

Honestly, I like Tulsi. I would honestly vote for her over Trump.

Buttigieg exceeds all but one of your criteria. Republicans won't vote for a Democrat anyway in this political climate. True Democrats and Independents shouldn't give a damn about orientation. That should (theoretically) be enough. And how cool would it be for Republicans to have a gay president? After they gave Americans an odious president like Trump, it's time they got a little woke.

Buttigieg is far and away the best candidate the democrats have. If democrats had the courage of their convictions he would be their choice, but they are cowards. It is democrats who are not ready for a gay president, hard line republicans won't vote for a democrat regardless of sexual orientation.

Any hesitancy could well be the concern whether fellow Democrats are ready in sufficient number for a gay president. So I'm guessing that there may be some second-guessing going on here. Also, don't discount that some Democrats are left of him, so whatever hesitancy there may still be may not be limited to orientation. In any event, Buttigieg is a new face on the national scene. He is a contender. And the clock is still running.
