Deval Patrick wants the Buttigieg vote — and African-Americans too by AndrewRomano
Welcome to 2020 Vision, the Yahoo News column covering the presidential race with one key takeaway every weekday and a wrap-up each weekend. Reminder: There are 83 days until the Iowa caucuses and 357 days until the 2020 election.
Here’s Buttigieg on Biden: “What I’m offering is very different. What I’m offering is the idea that there’s no going back to normal, there’s no business as usual.” Story continuesPatrick appears to have noticed.
Or, as Buttigieg recently put it: “I am asking you to picture that first day the sun comes up in this country and Donald Trump is no longer the president of the United States. ... What comes next? ... I am running to be the president who will stand amid the rubble, pick up the pieces of our divided nation, and lead us to real action to do right by Americans who have waited far too long.”
That’s a connection, Patrick seems to imply, that Buttigieg — a Rhodes scholar and the son of a linguist and a Notre Dame English professor — can’t make.

Deval Patrick Acquires High Favorability Numbers, Good Iowa Polling After Leveraged Buyout Of Buttigieg CampaignDES MOINES, IA—Skyrocketing in visibility mere hours after launching his bid for the White House, former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick reportedly acquired high favorability numbers and good Iowa polling Thursday after a leveraged buyout of Pete Buttigieg’s campaign. “We’re proud to announce that we have reached a debt-based deal with the Buttegieg campaign to bring their considerable war chest and great polling numbers into our fold,” said campaign spokesman Greg Ryans, adding that the reported $250 million buyout “perfectly aligned” with the Patrick campaign’s vision of attaining high polling in early caucus states, rapidly accelerating grassroots organization, and widening its donation base before the end of Q4. “Sadly, we did have to lay off 30% of the Buttigieg campaign due to redundancies, including Pete himself. But we were impressed enough to keep on Chasten Buttigieg in his current role at campaign rallies. With the assets from liquidating Amy Klobuchar’s campaign, we’re easily on track to be a presidential frontrunner by early 2020.” Ryans also noted that the Patrick campaign would strategically shed the gay rights plank of Buttigieg’s platforms after it proved distasteful to potential campaign investors.
