I swear, they smell blood with a certain narrative, and they want their story to crest the wave when the narrative goes viral. They hear a buzzword and none of the context around it. Today it was blah blah blah blah IDENTITY POLITICS oh my god, Pete said IDENTITY POLITICS. I worry that the narrative about Buttigieg is solidifying before most voters have heard him for themselves, and at that point it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.

And yes, they've been awful to Beto, too. I'm looking forward to watching him on Maddow. I've heard campaign clips but haven't heard him interviewed before.

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