Pete Buttigieg, the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is running for president as a self-described pragmatist who wants to bring generational change to Washington.
The Harvard-educated Navy veteran told INSIDER he's not ready to get into many policy specifics, but he's already put forward a few proposals — including expanding the Supreme Court and getting rid of the Electoral College — that are making waves.
Some Democrats say Buttigieg isn't ready to run for the nation's highest office, but others say the bid is a strategic way to build a national profile and turbocharge his promising career.

Allegedly someone on the inside said the kid was a sports recruit ....tennis or swimming or some second-tier sport. All told $25 million dollars were paid by the cheating parents to get their kids into choice colleges. Among them are USC, UCLA. It involved many people lying and cheating. No one paid attention to whether the kids showed up and perfomed the sport except the coaches who were in on it and they covered it up. Kids got admitted into college and there was no tracking. How it got uncovered or blown is yet to be determined. Just another example of RICH PEOPLE buying their kids way into or out of something. INTO college or bonespurring their way OUT OF MILITARY SERVICE. Aren't they all royally DISGUSTING?How sad that education is also infected with this ugly RICH PEOPLE'S disease. It teaches kids if you can't get what you want honorably because you suck and just aren't good enough just pay big bucks lie and cheat your w... less

Why do some folks get chastised for not respecting the views of those who don't respect others' views since those are THEIR views?Making a problem out of something that isn't one makes no sense. Why do people do it? Anyone?

You are never happy and those who love you can't be happy too. So nobody is happy.

What's up with the pretending? No one can respect all opinions. If you pretend you do then you are just another typical average everyday ordinary liar. Non-liars have a harder row to hoe. Much harder. They're ok if they just keep quiet. Otherwise well you can see what a liddle donny dingbat does with his mouth and his stubby fingers tweeting viciously when he hears truths he cannot tolerate. Quiet wins the day. Does quiet win the race? SIGH. less

Giving more to those who already have much more than they will ever need or deserve makes no sense to me. That's why I will never be a bigshot hotshot mover and shaker. I like FAIR. They don't care about fair. They want more. They want what you have and I have because they "need" it psychologically. So of course they hire a gunslinger to get it for them. But the townsfolks who just watch and get nothing? What's up with them? Fear of speaking up? less

Drip drip drip. A little cut here a little there and well less money goes to those who need it so more money can go to those who "deserve" it including liddle donny dingbat of course!.That's the scheme folks. It unfoldeth right in front of your noses. For the trumpicans I betcha y'all will have a wingding to celebrate the day social security, medicare and medicaid goes away and is laid to rest in an unmarked grave. Good riddance, right? less

Those cuts won't hurt the obscenely rich and famous. They are the only ones who count with liddle donny d. They are HIS peeps. What benefits THEM benefits HIM. Gee ya think there is a connection there somewhere? So his cuts will not affect his obscenely wealthy cronies. Life is good when you are king emperor dictator fascist.

Well I cut one BLOOD and one regular and Jim ate them. Actually he tasted the BlOOD and din't like the taste. I won't even taste it. So who among you like BLOOD oranges? Why? It just sat there on the plates oozing it's beet-likes juices. I can see why they call them BLOODS. Sheesh.
