So first of all — it is the right of everyone who is a natural born citizen to run for President and sometimes there are some ones that run where you are like WTF. And then there are some where you want to look at their qualifications. So here are a few facts about South Bend Indiana that will make you question why Pete Buttigieg thinks he is qualified to run the country when he isn’t doing a good job running a TINY — TINY — TEENY TINY town like South Bend.
First South Bend population is around 102,000. THAT IS A VERY SMALL LITTLE DINKY CITY. More like a town.
This is not the mayor of a Big place with big problems and comprehensive issues — like say the Mayor of somewhere like Houston or the Mayor of Miami. Or the Governor of Florida or Texas or California or really almost any Governor. This is a mayor of a TINY TOWN. The small little bedroom community I live in near Atlanta has 170,000 people and do I think anyone on the County Board should be running for President — HELL NO – yet they are running a place quite a bit larger than Mayor Pete is.
South Bend is still a violent place with a lot of abandoned properties (ok it is only 60 miles from Gary which I think looks like an industrial wasteland when you drive through it – DUMP) so a lot of that is most likely from economic downturn but why if people have left is it so VIOLENT ??
And he doesn’t seem to want to listen to people in his own community — like those asking him to come back and do his job when he had a police involved shooting.
So vote for who you want — that is everyone’s right. But do your research. Mayor Pete might need to get some more experience before he is fit for the job.
