Kingery has also seen Steyer and Warren in person. He was not a fan of Warren but did enjoy Steyer. In a funny related note: He opposes the impeachment inquiry and thinks it is a waste of money. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg talks with Allan Kingrey, a 56-year old Cargill employee who voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Kingery asked Buttigieg about social security during the event and said afterwards while he “might” caucus for Buttigieg in 2016, he still supports the President. https://t.co/ECmXoq1pis — PolitiTweet.org

Woman in Mason City asks Buttigieg a ? and says she sends greetings a lieutenant colonel he served with in Afghanistan. Buttigieg seemed taken aback. "Oh wow," he says. "Thanks for bringing greetings from someone I served with and please make sure to... give them my thanks." — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg has made highlighting access, not just coverage, central to his health care pitch in rural Iowa. "Everybody's arguing about coverage and it's important," he said in Tama County. "But what good is it to have coverage on paper if you can't get seen." — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Buttigieg, in rural Tama County, says he believes the "important thing" about health care is not that it is provided by the government. "The important thing is to see to that one way or the other, everyone is covered and there is no such thing as an uninsured America," he says. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Buttigieg often talks about faith on the trail. But it's notable how often it comes up in conversation with his supporters here in Iowa. Just now in Tama County he said he was running to represent people of "every religion and no religion equally.” A woman audibly said, "Yes!" — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg: "In the heat of competition, especially at this stage of the primary process, it is natural for those contrasts to become very sharp." — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Buttigieg made a subtle comment about "alienating" voters during an exchange w/ Warren last night. But he has certainly alienated some Dem activists - many of whom are "very online". "I don’t think this election isn’t going to run on online commentary," he says. Full: https://t.co/uCkZnLkA73 — PolitiTweet.org

A high school student here in Newton, Iowa asks Buttigieg about drugs in school. He comments on synthetic marijuana: "It's basically rat poison sprayed onto grass. You'd be much better off, frankly, with regular marijuana than this stuff." — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg comments on GOP impeachment tactics in Iowa as the process plays out in DC: "It can be exhausting to watch that... And now's our chance to refuse to let that happen. They win if we give up, but we win if we act up, and this is our opportunity." https://t.co/Tsvs6SCNgu — PolitiTweet.org

Steyer just now says he doesn’t know what Warren and Bernie said to each other. “Whatever was going on between each other, I was trying to get out of the way as fast as possible,” he said. “I don’t know what they were saying,” he says. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Buttigieg closes the debate by asking different groups of voters to "join me". He mentioned people who are "exhausted by the spectacle of division and dysfunction," "a voter of color feeling taken for granted by politics as usual" and people "used to voting for the other party." — PolitiTweet.org
