Why does Mayor Pete Buttigieg have such low poll numbers among black voters? Focus groups conducted by his campaign suggest it might be his sexual orientation. CNN's Michael Smerconish discusses with Johnnie Cordero, the chairman for the Democratic Black Caucus of South Carolina. #CNN #News
Focus group: Some voters see Buttigieg’s sexuality as a ‘barrier’
Haha
Really, vote for the best person for the political position.
I vote for Trump
It is actually the only barrier. Christian Democrats love him otherwise .
Those aren’t Christians, just church goers
Only in the minds of ignorant mindless drones, that are aging OUT.
@SoulBurningEyes you tell’em, Real Christian’s have much more hate in them!
I don’t give a damn if he’s gay … he’s not gonna sleep in my bed I just want the right person in the White House
@pacha 79 I respectfully disagree. “he’s not gonna sleep in my bed…” was disrespectful. Just because he’s gay doesn’t mean Pete wants to sleep with every man.
@Steven Nguyen Bingo.
I vote for Trump
@Steven Nguyen This is one instance where r/whoosh works perfectly here, especially with your second comment.
@Thomas Armsworthy Jr me no care… (that’s what your sentence structure sounded like to me) and way to add to the conversation, bud.
He’s a very intelligent guy but face it he’ll do good on both coasts but lose everywhere else
He’s luck to get 10% 😆
Yes, the most imortent thing is ones personal sexuality – not the policies that might make the country better…
for me, it’s just his politics, policy and big-money donors. so pretty much everything besides his sexuality.
If you agree with his politics, why does his sexuality matter?
Mike P because immorality matters.
He’s sexuality isn’t an issue with me. I don’t care for him as a candidate period!
A persons identity should not defined by their sexual preference.
Kenneth F. Thornton II yes it should. It reveals their lack of morality.
Those are the same people who found a game show host who claims he grabs women by the ***** endearing.
Right?!🙄
The Democrats learned nothing from 2016. Still beating the drum of identity politics going that it will win them elections.
Mayor Pete is deflecting from the fact he told that black woman”he is not asking for her vote” and the sheriff situation and Southbend! Mayor Pete is not polling well with Hispanics or other ethnic group,why dont he state that fact!
We often forget that there yet remains a great deal of traditionalism in our community. I’m supporting who can beat Trump, and we don’t need people staying at home again because they’re not able to vote for the candidate. Many people don’t want to see our president and his husband, and if they’re not ready, then we can’t force them. Pete might be the first gay man to hold the office, but I can assure you, it won’t be next year.
❤
#Bernie2020 is the only candidate constantly fighting for The People for the last 40 years.
This is sad. Especially coming from a group that’s been discriminated against so much.

As a gay man myself, I find Pete’s “faith” to be a barrier…..
Have enough respect for the man as a human being to pronounce his name correctly!!
Why Democrats sort people by race and color??
I thought you are the guys who are against racism
