Despite whatever coy protestations Booker may put up, I'm pretty sure he's going to run in 2020...but should he get the nomination, he won't have the advantages Obama had--being the 1st prospective black president which caused a lot of people to vote for him wanting to be a part of making history, and having spineless opponents in McCain and Romney, who feared attacking him and being a "racist."

Booker won't have the orgasmic impact of being the 1st potential black president especially so soon after Obama, and thus would likely not get the level of awe-struck support. He also wouldn't have the benefit of a wimpy GOP opponent--just as Trump had no fear in attacking Hillary and being a "sexist", Booker's race won't shield him from being thrashed.

Also, many progressives loathe Booker and view him as just another establishment, corporate wh0re, and were outraged by his latest vote on the pharmaceutical bill.

Cory Booker said Saturday he is not planning to run for president in 2020,

Because even democRATs wouldn't vote for the incompetent boob.

Cory Booger would never be fingered as a presidential pick.

If he changes his mind and decides to run, here's a poster I found that he can use for his campaign:

You have embarrassed me. How on earth could I have missed this obviously key requirement for winning the Dem nomination? Trust me, I’ll be more careful in the future.
