Maybe Pete would rather talk about one of his wealthy bundlers, Steve Patton. Patton is best known for being the city of Chicago attorney that fought to suppress the police murder video of Laquan McDonald.

I'm starting to think that candidates shouldn't be out grubbing for donations from the wealthy.

Yeah, but is it any better when they don't need to grub for donations because they're already megarich themselves? Pete pointed out he was the only non millionaire or billionaire on the stage.
 
Slate is running a story we might call "Wikigate" because every political scandal involves a gate. Essentially they are accusing Buttigieg of creating and obsessively maintaining his own Wikipedia page. And I am sure he is not the first nor will he be the last.

If it was really him (and not just some campaign volunteer), then it is a bit scuzzy that he specifically denied being Buttigieg. Slate doesn't point it out, but some of the comments left by whoever created the page, certainly sound like something I'd expect from a Rhodes scholar. In the first sentence of his response, he uses the words "flouting" (correctly), "abortive', and "foray".

Your reasoning here is stronger than most of the arguments we've seen from Republicans, but that's faint praise.

Seeing those three words spelled correctly in your post somehow fails to convince me you are a Rhodes scholar. Even if you are, I know lots of people who spell and use those words correctly, but aren't Rhodes scholars. Indeed, I have used those words myself.

So, we can rule out Trump but it could be just about anyone else?

Then the only credible explanation is that you are Pete Buttigieg.
 
Polling Biden vs Trump this month still puts us in a danger zone. Trump won Hillary, getting 46% to her 48%. Anywhere in the 44-46% gets him in the range where he can carry all the Rust Belt states
CNN 12/12 - 12/15 888 RV 4.0 Biden 49 Trump 44

add to that the uncertainty a Running Mate will bring.
Arguably, Trump can pick anyone from Haley to Shea without any impact, but Biden can win or lose a lot, depending on his VP choice ...
... I think.
