    Kamala didn’t have enough funds, because her polling did not suggest to enough potential voters that she was a good enough investment for donations compared to other candidates that they might donate to.

    Buttigieg is not a racist.  He is a white man, like most white men who are somewhat clueless with understanding the “black experience”.  He is getting  a lesson in the complexities of such, that has been rather suppressed thru out the past century plus.  He is young enough and smart enuf, I daresay, to figure it out.  Also, I am pretty confident that the black community doesn’t generally perceive him as being a bigot.  Mainly, I imagine that blacks just don’t consider him to be a viable candidate (yet).  That will change if Buttigieg wins Iowa.

    I like him because he is possibly the most intelligent candidate in the race.  Also, other than being gay, he is in touch with being an average person.  Also, he doesn’t make mistakes often, but he can admit them when he does, and learns from it.  I don’t understand why you can’t stand him, Mriana.  Does he remind you of an old boyfriend or something?

    I am not 100% sold yet on Buttigieg.  I am just thinking that he looks like the best overall pick for the breadth of the Democratic Party.  We really need a candidate that can WIN, which requires a candidate that we can ALL get excited about, or at least get behind as if we are excited.

    Biden is not exciting.  Biden is history (a good part of history, IMO, all in all, but he is projecting going back to the way things were. The problem with that, is that where we were, lead to where we are.  And where we are, is terrible.)
