Buttigieg appeared on ABC's This Week

[question everything]

I did not watch it; I usually come for the second half after CBS Sunday Morning for the panel discussion.

And here was in interesting comment by ABC News deputy political director MayAlice Parks:

PARKS: He might have been the perfect candidate for 2016, an outsider in what ended up being an outsider's race. The Democratic Party after Hillary Clinton loss was just craving a new generation of leadership, but his biggest challenge might be that that was yesterday's fight. With this administration and this president in the White House for two-and-a-half years, we could have a Democratic electorate that actually is craving an elder statesman. And Joe Biden feels safe and secure to a lot of them.

1. people wanted Trump becsuse they liked his bigotry

had nothing to do with insider outsider crap.

2. It was the outsides

Sanders certainly has been, still is, an outsider. Not a Democrat.

And for the Republicans, the party could not decide about whom to despair more: Cruz or Trump.

4. Sanders has been in congress for decades

5. He was always on the far left fringe, barely known, and not a member of the club.
