Good morning from @PeteButtigieg's first event of the day in Marshalltown, IA. The anti-gay protester has returned and is dressed up as the devil and is shouting at us through a sound system.pic.twitter.com/xaWeEqxBUI

I have gotten a TON of questions about @PeteButtigieg's childcare tax credit. Here's the transcript.
"We'll roll out more -- more detail on how we view this in time, but it's some form of tax credit style allowance for childcare that will help people cover those costs."pic.twitter.com/MNkJANNqSJ
.@PeteButtigieg on protesters:
"Well, the better we do, the -- the more that's going to happen. So I take it to be a barometer of success, just something that we have to prepare for, along with all of the other things that you have to be ready for when you reach the top tier."pic.twitter.com/3EmHBeKn2D
NEW: @PeteButtigieg calls for a federal open data policy.pic.twitter.com/PmTFw9it7Y
This question about why so many elderly people show up to @PeteButtigieg rallies is... kinda misleading.
The rallies have been on weekdays, not on college campuses, and DURING THE DAY. Young people are busy at work and college. I would expect the audience to be mainly retirees.pic.twitter.com/PHhhSQQ9xn
Read the question first, but here's more @PeteButtigieg on the protesters: "The next president is going to have to confront things a lot more challenging than being interrupted or having to talk over a little noise at an event."pic.twitter.com/qG6osW7qau
(TRANSCRIPT: Pete Buttigieg midday press gaggle 4/17/2019.) Here's the complete transcript of Pete Buttigieg's press gaggle for reporters that weren't able to make it.https://2020poolreports.substack.com/p/transcript-pete-buttigieg-press-gaggle-c62 …
OK, so I'm transcribing @PeteButtigieg's morning rally and the protester is on a PA system, over my audio in a really creepy voice whispering "Yeeeeeessssssssss, Peter, yessssssssssss." and it's making my job significantly more difficult than it normally is.
Asked a question about TPP, @PeteButtigieg on trade (in general, not TPP). "If we're not participating, if we're not involved, somebody else will be. And the Chinese model is being held up right now as perhaps more stable than the American model. I prefer the American model."pic.twitter.com/0Voiavc5rs
.@PeteButtigieg's South Bend-based preexisting policy on homeless veterans is worth reading. "First, we get them indoors and then we deal with the other issues instead of saying you got to be clean before we can put a roof over your head."pic.twitter.com/zWrXVJq0eD
Here is the complete transcript of @PeteButtigieg's rally in Marshalltown, IA earlier today.https://2020poolreports.substack.com/p/transcript-pete-buttigieg-marshalltown …
Where are the Asians and Latino’s? Looks overwhelmingly white
Lol I thought I saw maybe 1 or 2 Poc
It's Iowa. Seems about right relative to the population.
Audience lookin REAL white for an Asian and Latino PAC . . .
Qwhite the crowd hes got therehttps://twitter.com/marcusdipaola/status/1118556212986044416?s=19 …
>asian and latino
I have to make a tiny bit of fun - Iowa has a bit of a problem - there aren’t many Asian and Latino people there (a lot may be due to work, but still...)
Do people realize Latinos and Asians can be light-skinned? Also, it’s fucking Iowa.
Wake us up when he gets to 20,000 plus 10,000 standing in line outside that couldn't get in. Thanks. @DonaldJTrumpJrpic.twitter.com/FFzNwcr5ok
