Cory Booker: 'I am not open to being president'
CNN ^

Posted on 01/22/2017 7:39:39 AM PST by SMGFan

New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker said Saturday he is not planning to run for president in 2020, telling CNN's Brooke Baldwin he wants to instead focus on running an effective opposition to the Trump administration. "Too many things can happen that can hurt people in our nation and around the globe if this President isn't checked," Booker told Baldwin, speaking at the Women's March in Washington. "Right now, I don't care about 2020. I don't care about 2018."

Meanwhile he hopes he is setting the stage for the Dems to beg him to run.

"Help us Cory Booker , you are our only hope! We need another black man, blacker than Obama to beat President Trump"

Delusional? He needs to talk to his imaginary friends.

Cory Booker, you are no Barack H Obama. But I suppose polls , pundits and press can fix you up nicely in their own eyes.

Forget about 2018 Democrats are not going to do well in the House.
In the Senate GOP needs to defend only 8 seats. A few of the other 25 are “Lean Dem”. Some in states Trump won.

Anytime the media claims someone a “rising star” you know where they are going.

This IS their guy.

Booker went on to compare Trump with his predecessors, former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, whom Booker said brought "a dignity to the office and magnanimity."

Bill Clinton brought "a dignity to the office " ?!

HA HA HA!

“The former mayor of Newark, New Jersey, also blamed Hillary Clinton’s loss in the 2016 election on low voter turnout among his fellow Democrats. “

Then Hillary Clinton is to blame. And 8 years of Obama is to blame, despite 60% approval rating. (HA!)

“Sen. Cory Booker said Saturday he is not planning to run for president in 2020”

If he gets tagged as a possible candidate, what’s he gonna do about it? They already think he’s the new Obama. C’mon, Senator! Don’t you want to be just like him?

Trump quote:

If Cory Booker is the future of the Democrat Party, they have no future. I know more about Cory than he knows about himself.
