    1. Exactly. You’re not a lefty, so you’re trying to enflame the Bernie supporters to think this is rigged.

    2. @cmdr lostjayhawk
      Wake me up when you have a more convincing arguments. The only thing that divides New York and LA from the rest of the country is a fake like on a map. One person one vote, even someone like you can figure that out.

    3. @cmdr lostjayhawk One person’s vote should have the same power as the next person’s. That is democracy.

  1. “With a little over half the votes in, and the 1% lead, I, Pete “Buttgate” Buttigieg am announcing my victory. Also, ignore that I gave the app company in charge of votes $42k, or that Clinton has close ties to the company. You see, this was a legitimate win.”

    1. @Valorous Badger Then why did he give $42K if he already had connections. Why give a very public purchase for something you don’t want to be very public if you didn’t have to do it. Don’t get me wrong, this was a very clear conflict of interest, but we need to have more concentrate evidence if we’re going to claim election fraud. Besides, He’s only leading because 1/3rd of Iowa apparently doesn’t need to be counted.

    2. @biglakethesnake Could you imagine our next president with a name like this? OMG. “President Bootyjizz” sound like a bad porn movie.

  2. If the DNC is corrupt enough to “elect” Buttigieg due to “technical glitches”, Trump will eat him for breakfast! He will have no chance once in the ring!

    1. @Boom ds I’m sure people did, but we can’t trust an unstable phone app funded by him to tell us the results. Totally dirty.

  3. I already “sick of winning”, it’s funny to see DNC and his media creating their version of “alternative winning”. I feel like i am having a deja vu.

    1. Wait for the debates, Pete ‘Shadow inc.’ Buttigieg sounding like a hotshot car salesman vs a Titan of 1on1 no scripts with record numbers while POTUS to slam him with.

  4. 9% of attendees went in supporting Yang. Then after all the shenanigans are done he ends up with 1%. This process stinks.

    1. @Annette Lee ….You f**ing kidding me? That Pete the corporate puppet is the one who received most amount of donations from corporate interests.
      Are Americans this dumb for even believing in this bulls*it story that he actually won?
      Videos with him have the highest dislike ratio along with Biden….and yet they claim he won the most votes? And Yang’s videos have the highest like ratios…and they “claim” that he only had 1%? Are you that dumb?

    1. Just in Fox confirmed trump will never get impeached, you can only be impeached for getting a blowjob and we know trump will never get one of those , well maybe from Hannity or Moscow mitch. But we know he gives them to Putin , which is ok 👌

  5. “Man declares himself winner according to app created by a company owned by the people backing him in the race.”
    Big Thonk.

      This comment makes no sense, think about how corrupt the establishment is, think about how there is documented evidence of them cheating last time.

      Wow, he pulled a crowd. Congrats.

      They cheated before, they’re cheating again and when he loses to Trump they’ll spend the *next* four years blaming the people who pointed out the cheating.

      *slow claps* keep being a sheep for the powerful.

      Equating palpability to fact does not mean I’m scared or not open. I’m simply stating facts that in fact we found out James Buchanan had an affinity for men. Doesn’t mean I’m homophobic or anything.

      Plus, as someone who in fact is gay, pandering for support because of sexual orientation only makes you seem “popular”. Personally don’t support Buttigeg, but I wish him luck in the race.

    2. Don’t forget Lincoln. He was gay too and a great president. The two do not equate. You can be one and not the other.

    3. @JR N no one cares what he does with his wee wee, as long as he ain’t screwing us. But turns out he’s a big cheater.

    4. @M1911PH Your so called fact is actually useless and irrelevant as Buttigieg never ever run on his sexuality. It’s a part of him he had to put out there but it’s never been the main focus of his campaign at all. Therefore bringing this up was totally irrelevant and uncalled for. So anyone reading your useless comment can sense fear or something. Next time if you don’t want to come across as such try to post something more factual.

    5. He won’t win, gay and rightwinger bible thumping goes together as well as turning the furnace and air conditioner on together to see which one wins the war!

    1. @leicanoct Just because Bernie WAS winning doesn’t mean he DID win. It happens in a lot of elections – one person comes out looking strong but doesn’t win – nothing to be suspicious about.

    1. @William H Criticise Pete for being a wishy washy centrist who is happy to flip flop if his wealthy donors want him to. Don’t criticise him for being gay.

  6. Pretty suspicious that he said he won before anything was out and yet later in the day supposedly he won out Bernie hmmm somethings wrong everyone knows the gang wants Bernie out but this is kinda odd

  7. Ain’t that a beautiful thing? when you see there’s twice as many dislikes than likes on an industrial scale? Oh boy I love it! CNN sucks!

  8. I get why he did this, it’s because people thought because he’s young, gay, and didnt have as much as name recognition as others did he didn’t have any right to run. He was happy to have that kind of support validated.

  9. What a pathetic headline. “Emotional response from Pete” He literally declared himself the winner when the results were nowhere near done. If Bernie did this the headline would be…In a bizarre statement, Sanders declares himself the winner with no official results in sight.
