Perfect in home Democrat candidate training....
Quote:The father of Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg was a Marxist professor who spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto and dedicated a significant portion of his academic career to the work of Italian Communist Party founder Antonio Gramsci, an associate of Vladimir Lenin.
Joseph Buttigieg, who died in January at the age of 71, immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970s from Malta and in 1980 joined the University of Notre Dame faculty, where he taught modern European literature and literary theory. He supported an updated version of Marxism that jettisoned some of Marx and Engel’s more doctrinaire theories, though he was undoubtedly Marxist.
He was an adviser to Rethinking Marxism, an academic journal that published articles “that seek to discuss, elaborate, and/or extend Marxian theory,” and a member of the editorial collective of Boundary 2, a journal of postmodern theory, literature, and culture. He spoke at many Rethinking Marxism conferences and other gatherings of prominent Marxists.
In a 2000 paper for Rethinking Marxism critical of the approach of Human Rights Watch, Buttigieg, along with two other authors, refers to “the Marxist project to which we subscribe.”

Pete also believes he and his partner are "having" a baby.
He sounds like the white Barack Obama, both in tone and delivery, and also in message.
If this is the best the Dems can throw up (Obama-lite, er white) then they're in trouble next year.

This is priceless. If Obama could run again, he'd demolish trump. If Pete can get anywhere near where Obama was, I like the D's chance a WHOLE heckuva lot more than I do right now!
Is he even eligible to run?

Oh please run him against Trump. And I think your perception of Obama's current popularity is just a tad biased.

I dont think he would, tbh. Trump's track record so far on economy alone would almost ensure he would be elected.
The former beto crowd that just dropped their infatuation with him in favor of pete, are now going to have to go and find the next guy lol

Were his parents citizens when he was born? Is his mother an actual American?

Trump would have hung Obama on his birth certificate, school records, etc.

According to wiki, he was born in South Bend. That would make him a natural born citizen. End of story.

We’re gonna need the birth certificate.

Not if his parents were both foreign citizens. He would be a citizen by place of birth, but not a natural born citizen.
