Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumThe attacks on Buttigieg for the wine-cave fundraiser are likely to backfire on both BS and EW
Anyone foolish enough to be upset about the wine cave fundraiser is probably already supporting BS or EW.
No one who's currently a Buttigieg supporter, or undecided, is likely to be impressed by the silly purity test, especially coming from two multimillionaires who each own multiple homes.
Maybe this will sell a few more t-shirts for BS (I saw a headline saying his campaign has a wine cave tee now). But I can't see any other way this malarkey about the wine cave will help either BS or EW as they go farther out on that too-far-left branch.

(14,275 posts)I just saw him on MSNBC implying Buttegieg changed position on immigration because he's been bought. I am turned off when candidates who try to gain attention at the expense of attempting to diminish a peer.

"Take a stroll down the wine isle next time you are grocery shopping-so many labels with dark ominous labels."
"And many many Dems happen to own wineries with caves on their properties. Especially CA dems."
"I agree. Theres more to the wine caves. Much more."
"I have noticed in the last decade, that smaller boutique wineries have popped up in the Napa region with names sounding satanic or sexual in nature. It wasnt always like that. Pelosi has a home there. There are a lot of wine caves in Napa."
"I have a feeling there are going to be some twisted stories coming out about the wineries in Napa and their caves. Those tunnels/caves are all over and I believe some run down to Long Beach port to pick up the kiddos."
"Pelosi owns a winery."
"I could tell a story about an experience I had with wine, long story, but here's the deal, there is a reason it is used in religious ceremonies. Be careful of who makes it, where it comes from and for sure bless it. Never drink wine from the Baccas Valley."
"It reminds me of the underground torture rooms used by the Inquisition. I have visited a few of them, and they look just like this wine cellar: bricks walls and floor, and arched corridors."
"Stephen Colbert's joke about the onyx used for the tables in Mayor Pete's Wine Cave fundraiser made my blood run cold."
"Vena cava Multiple meanings exist Wine seller Some wine is very expensive This one goes deep."

Evan the attacks of Amy were pathetic. Obama was criticized for not having experience also and he turned out to be a great president
If you notice Senators or congressman normally dont become president Obama was able to break through.
People look for people that actually have govern.

(2,227 posts)EW seemed like a "gotcha" moment, and Amy just seemed petty and condescending.
Both had my respect, but both took a hit.

(1,086 posts)I won in a state that Hillary barely won while winning in the majority of counties that Trump did, You won in a city where Hillary crushed Trump.
I'm the most effective Democratic Senator of the last ten years and you backed off selling a golf course.
She could have been a lot more Petty the she was.
This is not as everybody likes to say a job interview. It is an audition, where people are competing against each other. She is running on her resume. He is running on something else.
I have also heard she had prepared that contrast, well of course she had, she is always prepared, in that profession you better be.
