The ONLY candidate who got screwed over by the party

Was Pete Buttigieg.

His win in Iowa could have made a difference for him if the state party hadn’t run an incompetent caucus.

Let’s get it straight. And keep it straight.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Buttigieg was robbed of the huge advantage of going into New Hampshire as the undisputed winner of Iowa.

There's no way the party would have united behind him in a matter of days, like they did with Biden. Which was necessary if we wanted to stop both Sanders and Bloomberg.

But it's true that he had a path, and was robbed of it by the incompetence of others. Instead of complaining, he kept on going, and ultimate saved the party that failed him by being the first to drop out and throwing his weight behind Biden.

I can't explain how much I respect and admire this man. He's truly one of our finest talents, and I can't wait to support him in his future endeavors, and eventually for president again.
