What is the Matter with Buttigieg and His Spokeswoman?

[Anonymous]

Is Buttigieg's campaign in trouble? He and his spokeswoman are making unhinged arguments about free college and free trade school for everyone - who wants it of Warren and Sanders.

Is Buttigieg not an elitist? His father was a professor of Literature at the University of Notre Dame. Buttigieg studied in a private Catholic school, St. Joseph High School. Then he got a bachelor's degree from Harvard University. following which he studied at Oxford University on Rhodes Scholarship. He then worked at McKinsey & Company, the world famous strategic management company.

I think it's a good attack line on Warren, maybe not so much Bernie. Why is a politician attacking an opponent so shocking to you?

Because she comes off as more "elitist" than Bernie does. It's reflected in their core voting bases; Sanders more working class, Warren DCUM college-educated wives lol.

Lis Smith is a well-known mercenary asshole with limited skills. Her priors include comma for O’Malley’s bid and dating a post Client 9 Spitzer, so she can accurately be filed away as a do-anything failure. Super hilarious that she’s part of Mayor Pete’s winning strategy.

You can have an elite background and not be an elitist.

But it is seriously hilarious to call St. Joseph's in South Bend an elite school.

Warren isn’t an elitist, but I know Bernie people like to cast her as one. That’s all they’ve got.

Lis Smith is a hack, as a PP basically said. Pete’s plan is just wrong. We don’t means test public schools, public parks, public libraries - we accept that they’re a common good and that rich people pay taxes to support them, as we all do. We need universal pre-K and I’d support free community college and free state college, too, for everyone. (Also free vocational education for those who don’t pursue college.) The ultra rich will pay higher taxes to support them without actually using them, in most cases. Universal pre-K and ore college are also a public good, just as free K-12 education is. And none of it is free: we pay taxes.

The ultra rich don’t usually send their kids to community college or state colleges. So means-testing paperwork won’t affect them. But it will be a barrier to working-class and middle-class families. For the working class, it will be one more hurdle they have to clear. It’s a bad idea.

Let’s give the PP the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she or he genuinely doesn’t know?

It is even more hilarious, fall on floor and rolling hilarious, to have a professor of Literature from an elite college for dad, himself studying at the world's best colleges - Harvard and Oxford, that too with Rhodes Scholarship, then working at McKinsey & Company - the world's elitest strategic management consulting company - and then implying his opponents are "ELITIST". Frankly, that is how elitists behave. They give false pretense of being ordinary, run of the mill, blue collar type as if voters are dumb asses. May be that lie is lapped up by Trump supporters but it won't work with Democrats.

You are a fool if you think I called the high school an elite school. You may not know what Harvard, Oxford, and McKinsey & Company are. You are excused.

No way Trump gets more votes than in 2016 when he lost the popular vote by 3 million. He’s done nothing to expand his base. Hasn’t even tried to build a bridge to independents or Democrats.
