Paul Begala: Mayor Pete Buttigieg Needs To ‘Get in the Game with People of Color’

‘I think in the last debate he was a little flat’

EXCERPT:

BERMAN: “He has an opportunity to differentiate himself from the left side of the party if he wants to. If he wants to create space there between Sanders and Warren, he could.”
BEGALA: “And he has two needs: to create some space and to get in the game with people of color. Okay? I don’t have a preference in this race, but I know this. The winner in my party is going to be the one who can appeal to people of color. So far Mayor Pete hasn’t been able to do that. He can use the debate to do that because, interestingly, lots and lots and lots of those people of color are moderates. They’re left out from the white liberals very often and sometimes ignored by them. So I think there’s an opening for Pete to do both of the strategic things he needs.”
