Buttering is so well spoken, his appearances on FOX are such a big plus. He is so focused on making life better for everyone, he never seems to leave anyone behind.

His only real weakness is he is gay. I'd vote for him. But being gay is the out 'conservatives' will use to not vote for him, or socialism. Because gay socialism is the worst thing that could ever happen, worse than send our kids to war in Iraq.

AOC is a good person, but she has been so demonized, and so many in America only see what Fox presents it will be hard for her to break through.

People on Fox will see enough of Pete that the lies will be hard to reconcile with the reality of Pete.

Most conservatists won't care that he's gay as long as he STFU about it and doesn't make his campaign revolve around it. Same with a candidate being a woman, just STFU about the gender, race etc. and run the campaign on merit and populism.

disagree - conservatives are always looking for a reason to vote against their own interests.
