Pete Buttigieg likes to boast about his “unconventional” experience as a small-town mayor on the campaign trail, but some of the residents in South Bend, Indiana, say he is unqualified to be president based on their dealings with him.

“If he’s the next president, I fear for our country. He couldn’t run our city. How can he run the United States?” Michelle Burger, a 42-year-old mother, told the New York Post on Tuesday. “Look at all the crime — he didn’t do anything about it. Look at our quality of life. If he becomes president, the United States will become one big South Bend — a giant sinkhole. We’ll be in a new depression.”
