As not a Buttigieg fan I’d have to say talking about him dropping out and Biden picking up his voters is a lot more detached from reality than saying Buttigieg’s campaign is going just as he planned. The latter is a pretty realistic statement I think, I mean how would it be going much better at this point, realistically? Whether Buttigieg lasts out the whole primary season as major contender I’ve no idea. I doubt the betting odds of 15% chance of his getting the nomination are WTF off in either direction. But Biden is pretty much toast, right now. Talking about Buttigieg dropping out and his support going to Biden is pretty ridiculous IMO.
Well, on the one hand, based on results we’re pretty much in Pete’s best case scenario world. He won the most delegates in Iowa and tied in NH. Historically, this should lead to his campaign picking up a lot of momentum.
OTOH, his win in Iowa was announced two days later, came with an asterix (lost the popular vote), and, let’s just say, won’t be what most people remember about the Iowa caucuses. And his second place in NH was, well, second place. So it will be interesting to see how things go for him from here.
But yeah, it’s bizarre to suggest that dropping out of the race would be even remotely on his mind at this point.

So no one else is going to dispel this racist and patently untrue generalization? Yikes, dude. It’s this kind of crap that makes black voters feel undervalued by both parties. Don’t do this. Buttigieg’s sexuality has no relevance to black people’s wariness of him.
