Pete Shock

125 Comments

[Blind Gossip] His strategy was always to bury the truth about himself. However, he is now shocked to find himself usurped by someone who did not!

This politician may be regretting his initial strategy. He is now huddling with his team to try to figure out if he needs to take a different tack.

He thought that there was absolutely no way he could run as an openly gay candidate, so he is shocked by the fact that Pete Buttigieg is doing so well. Now he’s missing out on all that support so he has to rethink his strategy.

So, since being gay may actually be benefiting Mayor Pete, does our candidate now think that he should state that he is also gay?

Not quite!

He can’t go “full gay” now or else he would be accused of being a liar, so he is thinking of announcing that he is bi. That way he could have a girlfriend, not worry so much about the oppo research about his past, and start courting the pro-gay support (especially the Hollywood money) that is going to Buttigieg.

This just gets crazier and crazier!

  9. Corey Booker.

    Oh Corey, you have/had great potential, but lying about who you are is never a good strategy for such an important position upon which people need to believe you. Better to have been silent on the matter than do the Hollywood fake relationship thing. The party needs someone who strong and secure and honest. This isn’t 1990 where such things needed to be hidden.

  11. Corey “I am ashame of being gay so I had to fake a past sexual assault and now a beard” Booker. What will the boys on the Newark dock say?????

  15. Cory Booker
    Optional: Covering up one lie with another lie is not the greatest idea. Honesty is the best policy but I think it’s too late for that.

  22. Corey should just accept the fact that he’s not going to make the cut, and concentrate on being a Senator. He’s young-he can give it another go in 8 years after he’s got his personal life straightened out.

  28. New Jersey’s Cory Booker, as if everybody didn’t already know he was gay! I think it will actually HURT his chances to change his stance (no pun intended!) at this point because it will show that he has lied about it all along. Truth be told, he didn’t have a rat’s * of a chance anyway, especially since Biden has now entered the race!

  30. Cory Booker – no surprise here – but he doesn’t have a chance in heck regardless of his sexuality. He totally lacks any “It” factor.

  31. Cory Booker

    I would advise him he already made his heterosexual bed. He needs to lie in it. Besides, he doesn’t have a prayer in this election.

  32. CORY BOOKER
    During the Kavanaugh hearing, I was under the impression that he was openly gay, but he’s obviously not open with the public, if true. I don’t remember why I even thought that.

  33. Obviously Cory Booker. I think announcing he’s bi is a potential strategy… it’s risky because the accusation of hypocrisy would obviously come up, but his campaign is flopping so he should probably take the risk.

  37. So easy. Corey Booker. The fact he is a liar about himself makes him less trustworthy. Pete is an honest guy at least. Don;t agree with most of his policy takes, but do agree with some of them. And with how he has called out some hypocrites in politics.

  38. Cory Booker and it’s too late for that (at least for this campaign).

    The big advantage of Buttigieg is that he is honest. Nobody knew him but the fact that he was the gay major on a pretty conservative state should be a sign.

    Coming out as bi, even if it’s a lie, could help him in the future (avoid some news about his past) but right now it would be just a desperate move.

    The truth it must hurt that someone is not having any trouble with something you put that much effort to hide

  44. Politician: Cory Booker.
    Optional: Do not come out. Stick to the important issues. Just because you are bi/gay/curious/LGBTQ allie it does not mean you are IT. Sorry but Mayor Pete will not be the Democratic nominee.
