PETE TWEETS

Thank you to everyone who joined me at this week’s veterans town hall in Merrimack. We must do a better job of honoring our veterans, providing the care they deserve, and empowering them to keep serving as civilians. They show the power of service and set an example for us all. pic.twitter.com/2WpP1zJMlN

I could not post this fast enough. Two operatives on the ground in NH talk about the enthusiasm for Pete.

“At this point, on this trajectory he’s gonna win On Tuesday.”

Anthony Brown goes on MSNBC as a Pete surrogate to discuss the debate.

Just now on @MSNBC: Campaign co-chair @AnthonyBrownMD4 spoke to the reality of marijuana convictions in South Bend.

"Under Mayor Pete's leadership, if you're an Af-Am man, the likelihood of being arrested for marijuana possession in South Bend was lower than in all of Indiana." pic.twitter.com/68e7affyM1

FIVETHIRTYEIGHT : Who Won The New Hampshire Democratic Primary Debate?

Spoiler: Pete gained the most from the debate!

Today Biden played an ad in New Hampshire attacking Pete for being a mayor of a small city. It did not go so well. The pushback from mayors all of the US was amazing!

Ever since September, when Sue Prentiss, the former mayor of Lebanon, N.H., endorsed Pete Buttigieg, she’s been calling unaligned voters to sway them to his side.

This week, her undecided friends started calling her. #nhpolitics #fitnhttps://t.co/RHNinlJsKZ

“@PeteButtigeg played the map in a really smart way [...] He dominated in the suburbs and took advantage of rural areas and I haven’t seen any counties he’s not in the top two or three and that’s what you’ve got to so. Be viable everywhere." -@lara_marie14 https://t.co/ZdjHw71llW

.@AndyKimNJ says he has seen first-hand the challenges a President Buttigieg might face, but that the candidate has been “tested in hard times,” and has a strong moral compass that would serve him well in the White House.

POLLS

Beyond horserace, 3 things to note from @SaintAnselmPoll #NHprimary poll:

1) By 9:1 voters prefer candidate who unifies nation, not party;
2) @PeteButtigieg has highest net favorability;
3) 3-way tie for who would make best POTUS between @BernieSanders, @JoeBiden, Buttigieg pic.twitter.com/F30t5vsPBK

TWEETS NOT TO BE MISSED

KATIE HILL!

Again, I was with @KamalaHarris & haven’t picked anyone else yet. But when one candidate has huge #s of supporters who want to DESTROY the other candidates & anyone who supports them, the less likely that candidate is to get my vote. And the less likely we are to beat Trump IMHO.

Not sure how @PeteButtigieg will end up faring in the presidential, but one thing that’s clear from conversations I’ve had with him, interviewing him and reading his book: he’s operating at a different intellectual level — a much higher one — than the vast majority of politicians https://t.co/NWohYmzphp

South Korean news.They pronounced his name ‘Booteegeegee.’ They were saying even though his experience is less than others, his greatest weapon is his youth & his slogan for generational change. They even spoke positively about his sexuality. Guys, @PeteButtigieg is going global! pic.twitter.com/BZImBumVMv
