        You mean FACTS that no Democrat should be proud of or indifferent to. Buttigieg prioritized turning around areas where Notre Dame & business folks go. But waited 5 1/2 yrs to even ask for assessments of dire poverty & homelessness conditions, & the grave lack of social support.pic.twitter.com/GOM8at5puN

        Requested Study of Homeless & Addiction Problems from August, 2017. Why commissioned so late in Buttigieg’s tenure? When did initiatives begin to address cited problems? When did he decide to run for Prez? https://southbendin.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/COSB-Working-Group-Report-on-Chronic-Homelessness.pdf …

        Requested Study on Wealth Divide in S Bend, dated September, 2017. Again, why wait so long with 40% black poverty, 42% child poverty, 18th worst eviction rate, & 54% households with working adults lacking a “survival budget” (acc to United Way)? Facts. https://prosperitynow.org/sites/default/files/resources/Racial%20Wealth%20Divide%20in%20South%20Bend_ProsperityNow_Final_Rev.pdf …

        Just because my soul needs it, I hope they don't find anything of legitimate substance at all. I thought he did a fine job last night giving out the facts about the police story and the housing story, while admitting that he had learned things about community sensitivity.

        This is actually a good thing. If there is something wrong with Pete it needs to come out now and not during the general.

        It'll help him sharpen his response for when Republicans attack him on the same issues, which is a good thing.

        Remembering Obama going through much of the same in 2007, when he announced his campaign, too.

        They have a lot of similarities, and his speeches are very reminiscent of BO. it’s hard not to make the comparison.

        He takes lobbyist money. He doesn’t actually have policies. That’s enough for me.

        Listen to him. He has plenty of policies. It’s not like the other candidates have legislative text drawn up already.

        Check out Warren. She’s running rings around him and the rest of the field on policy. They are all cribbing from her and trying to catch up.

        Sally, I agree Elizabeth Warren has well-thought out policies indeed. Unfortunately, she's didactic and droning in speaking style. Who knows how that will translate to the public.

        Did you see her CNN town hall this week? She was pretty great. She’s been surprisingly good on the stump.

        Unfortunate that it is from other Dems. Obama warned against the circular firing squads.
