‘The epitome of privilege’: Booker supporters seethe over Buttigieg mania
Politico ^ | May 13, 2019 | Nolan D. McCaskill

One of the Democrats running for president is a youthful former Rhodes Scholar who speaks more than one language and cut his teeth as a two-term mayor. The other is Pete Buttigieg.

Buttigieg’s sparkling resume has been the subject of countless profiles, powering the South Bend mayor to the top tier of the 2020 field. Sen. Cory Booker, however, hasn’t received nearly as much attention and remains mired in the middle of the pack in recent polls.

“He’s one of just three African Americans in the Senate. He’s a former Stanford college football player who is dating actress Rosario Dawson.”

These are some of Booker’s great qualifications:

His race.
He was a football player. (Liberals hate macho football).
He dates an actress. (????)
He’s a Rhodes scholar. (Whoop-dee-do).

So how many languages does Booker know? If it’s 2 or 3 that’s not a big deal as that’s typical high school education.

Not that I believe that Buttgood actually knows 7.

“...speaks more than one language...”

Spartacus is going to have to to “come out”, then the gay media overlords will be able to tout him as the “gay Obama”. Oh, wait, we already had a gay Obama.

i’m just “pretty sure” of it.....

A Booker coming-out announcement will be as surprising as the coming-out announcements of Anderson Cooper and Barry Manilow.

Booker should have come out of the closet instead of pretending he is not gay.

“Sen. Cory Booker ... remains mired in the middle of the pack in recent polls.”

well, sure, if you define middle of the pack as 7th place with 2.6% national RCP poll average ...

Anyone looking at the history and accomplishments of Rhodes Scholars from the US over the years would be highly suspect of having any more of these folks in government. It is awarded to the world’s most effective suckups willing to serve the advancement of the lords and masters of the globalist cause (why do you think that that great exemplar of British universal empire building created the thing in the first place).

The entire field, including Bernie Sanders, of Democrat Party 2020 POTUS candidates are nothing but a bunch of empty suit, losers, America Haters, Anti-Jew/Israel, Muslim worshippers, traitors, turncoats, etc.

The facts and reasons stated above is exactly why Democrat, Sleeping, Groper, Pervert, Criminal, Waste of Humanity, Uncle Joe Biden is leading this pack of low life failures in all the political polls. Read my lips...folks...Joe Biden is the best the Democrats have to offer...period.

Folks...passing time will prove that my call on these Democrat Party Buffoons, and would be American Nation Republic destroyers is correct and right on the money!!! Case closed!!!

Well it isn’t fair. Booker went out on a limb and pretended he likes girls.

Sorry Corey, the new liberal Identity Politics pecking order goes something like this (this is my best guess, though the sands are ever-shifting with the psychotic left):

muslim
illegal alien
gay/trans
female
black

Combinations of these mean that a gay/trans black or white male will be ahead of a straight black or white female, etc.

And as someone else pointed out, it seems that being MORE gay can somehow overcome being white, in buttigieg’s case...

Booker's parents were two of the earlies black execs at IBM. His claim to suffering from his blackness was being the only black family in a wealthy all-white development. He said his neighbors looked at him funny.

He said this in a lecture a few years back. The room was packed. A lot of the folks in that room were survivors who left Europe soon after WW2, many who as young children learned something about tough environments.

It was pathetic. He was so stuck on himself he didn't even study up on the background of metro-Parma's population.
