    That would be awesome, but don't underestimate him.

    He’s the “blackest” member of the Democratic field, at least so far. Kamala Harris is only half black.

    Blacks make up about 20 percent of the Democratic vote. In the last three cycles, the candidate who did best among blacks turned out to be the party’s nominee.

    Booker has the most commanding physical presence of anyone in the Democratic field. The former Stanford football player stands 6′4.″ Beto O’Rourke is about the same height, but he’s scrawny. Soccer is his game, not American football.

    Trump is 6′3.″ Obama is 6′1.″ Bill Clinton is 6’2.” We haven’t elected a president under 6’0″ since Jimmy Carter.

    Booker is the “hopiest” candidate in the field. His message is relentlessly optimistic. He speaks constantly about building bridges, cooperation, and our shared values as Americans. It’s BS, of course, but it’s BS people have like to hear. See Obama, Barack.

    The leftism Booker articulates doesn’t demonize America. He loves to talk about the civil rights movement as an American success story, which it is, of course. He has a riff about how the civil rights march in Selma, Alabama inspired a white lawyer in New Jersey to push for fair housing, which enabled Booker’s family to move into a white neighborhood, where he benefited from great schools and ended up at Stanford University.

    Consider, too, Booker’s description of the American Founders. He calls them “imperfect geniuses.”

    By calling the Founders geniuses, Booker respects the Founding, unlike so many on the left. But by calling them “imperfect” (which, like everyone, they were), Booker gives himself room to pick and choose his way through their masterpiece, the U.S. Constitution.

    In short, Booker has it both ways. Barack Obama himself couldn’t have come up with a niftier formulation.

    Booker is a world-class ***********. His stump speech is full of warm personal stories told well. Some of them may even be true.

    Booker has the empathy thing down cold. Kamala-toe Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Kristen Gillibrand can’t come close to matching him. Joe Biden, another first-rate *********** in his day, can come close, but falls short. His oratory isn’t up to snuff, and wasn’t even in his prime.

    Booker might catch fire or he might go up in flames, but he will be well worth watching.

    He came out today as vegan. That alone should give him an edge among the morons who vote Dem.

    Booker Says He Would 'Be Looking to Women First' For His Vice President.....


    Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Tuesday night that he would “be looking to women first” as running mates if he were to win the 2020 Democratic primary.

    Maddow asked Booker if he would commit to choosing a woman as his vice president if he got the nomination.

    “I’m not going to box myself in, but should I become it, you know I’ll be looking to women first,” he added......snip~

    Does he plan to use a casting couch for the job interviews?
    Harvey Weinstein is probably not using his right now.

    Isn't Corey Booker one of the Democratic clowns in the Senate who turned the U.S. Senate into a 3 ring circus during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings ?

    Didn't Cory Booker copped a feel of some girl's tits when he was in college ?

    But, like Gov. Northam, he said he is sorry. So there.
