Buttigieg: Trump has done nothing to command my respect
Do you believe that impeachment is the principal pragmatic perspective is it worth the time and energy does it leave us in a better place is a country it's worth it because the Constitution calls for it is just one of those moments where you got a set aside the politics a little what the political Fetzer to be I don't think we should pay attention to that of an obviously is a candidate for office to deal with that the environment there were in it is an issue that's that's on voters minds but the biggest thing on being asked about his of the question I think every voter the they asked house my life can be different you saw a guy like Lt. Col. okay he has the kind of pedigree you almost can't make up in terms of how much duty to surface there has been and he got bill failed the diplomat who has so many years and was asked to come in and do this job he gets attacked in the back of your mind do you think I'm even know what I'm getting into yet this game is about believing in hold leaves out first I know that sounds completely dramatic but it's the reality as well how do you handle your I was a 22-year-old campaign staffer my very first working on the Kerry campaign out in Arizona when envelope came in to our campaign office with a Purple Heart and cut out of Purple Heart and a Band-Aid stuck to this is nothing new all of them definitely taken it to new depths but we've seen this for some time denigrating the service of war euros of finding scraping the absolute bottom of the bottom of the barrel away comes to the way that those in power right now treat anybody who gets in their way even a decorated veteran what Col. than and I think it's all the more evidence of why things need to change will say this to there comes a point where this is just unsustainable just like that moment in the McCarthy hearings were someone said have you no sense of decency and because I believe deep down there are Republican Senators and Congress members just as there are so many millions of Republican voters know that this is dead wrong that sooner or later as long as we're doing the right thing this will we will get to the other side of this and in the meantime my job is to make sure that this isn't even close whether it's as a candidate for president the best thing that could happen to defeat not just Trump but Trump is is to make sure the we build such a strong coalition such a big majority that there is such a thumping on in November 2020 against Trump's and everything associated with that creates the shockwaves required to reunite Republicans elected office with their conscience or lead to the dissolution and reinvention of that party in on a show national polls all you guys beat the present when they did the state-by-state polls he is strong and long and almost every state that matters and just Michigan alone you know the Democrats to talk about during the backloaded a lot of work to do was the message for unit most of we got it go out there and do the work in your Michigan is is literally a said I can see it from my porch but it's maybe 10 minutes from my house this is my part of the country a lot of the states and what we got it is make sure that were making the case I just of the last few days in Iowa in largely conservative community's rule areas that are ready for a different message but you show up you bring that message to people where they are talk a lot about respect respect these competitors think about you when they say things do you respect presidential onion I respect the office of the presidency as second horse what I'm talking about his men he has done nothing to command by respectable so that what because he doesn't respect his own presence and frankly at a deeper level unthinking respect himself I think he's created a sort of cartoon character which is fine if you are reality TV star where you're playing a part even when the parties yourself when the present United States lives depend on your integrity on your wisdom on your judgment and I just don't see it in this White House and the man you don't see it I don't see any integrity I mean you look at of in there's just a sense that he would do anything is going to show no evidence of any principle other than that of advancing himself and that is so costly right now spazzing others actually got this level of power and were seeing the consequences at home whereby the way he's also not been able to deliver on any of the things that he set out to do her promise the only promises managed to keep is a tax cut for the enormously wealthy than some conservative judicial appointments the rest of it's happening manufacturing workers directly funding cells were soft and is not only will always ever to build long party did build builder songster I know things he said he was interviewer happening and moreover of the GNU things he said is the doer things he actually cares about Mayor Pete thank you very much appreciated good luck going forward will talk to get that we would.
