Yeah, well, what the media isn't mentioning is that Buttigieg (how is that spelled, anyway?) is the mayor of Gary, Indiana, which is a complete trainwreck thanks to the mishandling of a series of Democrat mayors and city councils--including him. It's crime-ridden, dirt poor thanks to overtaxation, and falling apart. That's why I suspect you'll hear very little about the actual condition of the city from the mainstream media.
They didn't just find out about him in Iowa, though--he's been a rising star in the party for some time. He's a war veteran and openly gay, plus he's a good looking guy and knows how to give a speech, so I expect he'll go far in the party. Oh--it's Pete Buttigieg.
