Discussion: Brit Hume Heaps Praise On 'Impressive' Buttigieg

[candirue]

Traumatically Triggered Trump in 3, 2, 1. . .

O/T but this is “News of the Weird” level shit here.

Ben Collins (oneunderscore__)

Maybe Britt and Fox News needs to get on top of this and begin a series of testimonials supporting bleach drinking. It’d be “mighty white” of them (pun intended).

[fiftygigs]

Something strange is going on at Fox, folks.

Time to leave FOX, folks.

I hear everybody is going to MSNBC now. Word to the wise ; - )

[valgalky23]

We just can’t talk about the women candidates can we? Gotta keep that spotlight on the menfolk. 'Merica!

[squirreltown]

I hope they move on to cocktails. Plenty of um…interesting things can be made with a bleach chaser.

[corncaucus2008]

Well, I suppose Hume is paid to analyze things like “raw political talent,” so I’ll have to assume he’s being genuine here. Even though any ass can see Buttigieg has that.

Just don’t come to Hume if you want analysis on these tough topics:

-personal charisma
-avoiding the appearance of having tuna-sandwich breath
-how not to bore people to death with your droning, pedantic voice

[valgalky23]

Hell yeah, just throw in some sugar water and a mint sprig…they’ll love it! Probably should use a big slurpy cup too.

[cheapshotbert]

Water’s fine, Brit. Let’s see a cannonball.

@valgalky23

We just can’t talk about the women candidates can we?

I don’t know. We haven’t heard nearly enough about Andrew Yang.

Day by day it seems as if more and more of the rats have detected rising toxic bilge waters and are now desperately seeking the spring lines. With any luck they’ll soon become so desperate to escape they’ll run down the hawsers only to discover the cleat is actually a pair of feline incisors.

Aloha, toadies of the Trumptanic.

@benthere

Donnie just soiled himself.

Actually, Donnie seems to do that a good bit:

@euglena4056

Don’t assume they are not so diabolical as to be trying to promote Buttigieg here because they think they can easily beat him

Deliberately promoting the guy you think you can beat?

Hillary’s Team tried that technique with Trump. Needless to say, it didn’t quite pan out. I can’t recommend this tack.

[tall104]

Of course,they want to kkeep him in the limelight so they can disparge democrats. Buttigieg should run for the senate in 2022.

@ralph_vonholst

Some Qanon people are now doubling down on DRINKING BLEACH

Now if we just double-down and note that drinking bleach not only cures autism, but is the one-stop vaccine-replacement that government doesn’t want you to know about because then Big Pharma couldn’t sell you lots of different vaccines that give you autism in the first place…

@birdford

you think FOX might be trying to weigh in on candidates not currently guaranteed to hand Trump his ass?

Just saying - I simply do not trust anything that comes out of FOX - anything.

I don’t know what it is and it might be unfair to hold it against Buttigieg but I want to know why the list of republicans gushing over him just keeps growing.

To date the ones I know of:

David Brooks
Bret Stephens
Jennifer Rubin
Joe Scarborough
& now Bret Hume

ETA: looks like a bunch more conservatives are keen on Buttigieg

@tobie

popular among never-Trunp Republicans from Ana Navarro and Jennifer Rubin to Max Boot, Nicole Wallace and Brit Hume. I just don’t many lifelong Democrats who feel the same way.

He’s always reminded me of the left version of Evan McMullin.

I like his presence and what he says but there’s not much to go on and the nevertrump support is pretty weird, especially with no real sign of deep support from elsewhere.

[tobie]

It seems like Mayor Pete is very popular among never-Trunp Republicans from Ana Navarro and Jennifer Rubin to Max Boot, Nicole Wallace and Brit Hume. I just don’t know many lifelong Democrats who feel the same way.

[hummus_neanderthalensis]

From that email:

…make them more “Pied Piper” candidates who actually represent the mainstream of the Republican Party.

I think the same rationale is being applied to AOC, Tlaib, and Omar in rightwing outlets. The righties hammer on them constantly, not because they’re “scared” of them or worry they will be effective leaders, but because they believe they can use them as albatrosses around the neck of the Democratic Party.

Yes. And they couldn’t be more wrong. Those people represent the future that the right will be dragged to, kicking and screaming.

[antb]

I’m a lifelong Dem and Pete is my primary candidate, the only one i’m giving donations to at this time. If he’s not the nominee of course i’m voting for the nominee in the general but in the primary, he’s my guy.

Maybe I’m completely wrong here, but that support makes a lot of sense to me. Old-guard GOP and NeverTrumpers want Trump gone and hope he will lose in 2020, but it’s exceedingly unlikely a Republican is going primary him. They’re relegated to looking toward the Democrats to both shore up the nation’s institutions and restore sanity to the Republican Party. They definitely don’t want a Sanders or Warren in the WH, and Biden presents the danger of re-litigating the Obama-era grievances that gave us Trump. Buttigieg now…here’s a guy who is talking the liberal social agenda, but pairs it with a strong security mindset and market-driven policy rather than “socialism”. There’s quite a bit in his agenda for old-style conservatives to sign onto while they try to tamp down the fascist element that’s currently ascendant in the GOP.
