All the GOP would have to do, is show the debate clip when hottie Tulsi Gabbard disemboweled Harris on national TV, gutting her campaign like a fish.
Gabbard ended Harris' campaign with 20 seconds of irrefutable truth.

I think the lefty kingmakers want Buttigieg. Which is also good for a huge national laugh. What if we get invaded and he has to go out on paternity leave again?
I really hope you're going to confessional this week.

Why? Wasn't a gay slur. What I meant is that if you're in a very high-level government position (being in the Cabinet counts), and there's a for-real crisis in your area, you don't ignore it because you're on paternity leave. In times of national crisis, the needs of the country come before his desire for paternity leave, and that priority is not for everybody, which is why those jobs aren't for everybody. If you choose that job, there's responsibility that comes with it. He doesn't want the responsibility, he just wants to get invited to the best parties.

Spence, I was in favor of gay marriage when the state of California (!!) rejected it, when Obama and Hilary both said they were opposed to it for religious reasons. I didn't jump on the bandwagon just because it became fashionable

I was stationed with a guy on my ship, we left on a 6 month deployment, his daughter was born 3 days after we left. He left with us, missed the birth, missed her first smile, didn’t get to see her until she was 4 months old (wife flew out and met the ship in Spain and surprised him). A lot of stories like that.

Glad Mayor Pete got to go out trick or treating with the fam while the US shipping ports ground to a halt

He took on a very important role, he needed to show the #^&#^&#^&#^& up, he failed

This is ridiculous, it's not like he turned his cell phone off.

This is ridiculous, like answering your phone in between diaper changes is the same as showing up for work.

He. Failed.

it’s not ridiculous.

in normal times, you’re right, as long as he has his phone, he can be reached anywhere during an emergency.

Once there is a national crisis within his area of his responsibility, the needs of the people he claimed to want to serve, are more important than his reading children’s books to his babies in front of the fire.

You can be informed of a national crisis at home on paternity leave. You can’t fix a national crisis while hime on paternity leave.

you know this. you just can’t say it because of politics.
