**SNIP**

In passionate remarks that often had the room of Iowa Democrats on their feet, Booker answered the request, speaking of unity and encouraging voters to fight back.

“It is not a time to give up, it’s a time to get up, to rise up, to speak up,” he said. “It’s time for you not to wait for hope, but to be the hope.”

Booker, who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, showed the intensity at the Iowa fundraising gala Saturday that he showed during the hearings, when he had a self-described “Spartacus moment,” announcing he would release confidential documents from Kavanaugh’s time with the George W. Bush White House to the public.

“Even in the face of defeat, we cannot be defeated. Even when we’re knocked down, we can never be knocked out,” Booker said Saturday.

Booker, the Flimflam Man, can stuff his “Hope” B/S where the sun doesn’t shine. Eight long and painful years of “Hope” from his tribe was more than ENOUGH.

Booker is a clown and he will NEVER win the presidency.

Sounds just like Obama. A bunch of words that mean nothing.

I thought Spartacus was off to celebrate the achievements of the Venezuelan economy.

Speaking of Iowa, DJT is headed there on Tue to announce a new pro-ethanol item.

Booker: "I'm getting good at making a total ass of myself and coming back to do it again. In fact, I'm made for it...I think you are all made for it too, so join me in this evil and insane quest."

I know we are fired up - hope the Dems stew in demoralization after expending so much to end up having their butts handed to them.

“Booker actually makes Obama look manly by comparison and that is hard to do.”

True but Booker is not one to shrink in the face of difficulty, he pushed on and did what no other could do, he made himself look much smaller than Obama.

I said some time ago that most elections are a contest to see which candidate can promise to VIOLATE the constitution in the most appealing ways and then when one is elected he puts his hand on the bible and swears to uphold that which he promised to ignore during the campaign. Why would anyone believe any of them? If we returned to the constitution MOST of the federal government as well as most of state and local government would be shut down immediately. All the nutcases who complain about the constitution don’t seem to realize that we don’t actually live by the constitution. Contrary to what many believe and supreme court decisions on the matter of “Obamacare”, the idea of the federal government forcing someone to buy health insurance is completely against the constitution but that did not stop Obama from destroying a health care system that worked, even though not perfectly, in favor of an unconstitutional disaster.

Booker and Obama----anyone from the Black milieu----fervently believe that all of our laws, and the US Constitution,
were written by evil religious white men for one purpose: to subjugate black people.

It hurts inside of him because he just isn’t allowed to do what he wants to do.”””

This attitude grows out of the parenting that never hands out any serious discipline & DOES hand out TROPHIES for PARTICIPATION.

They grow up to be Cory Booker look alikes & act alikes.

Spartacus Jazz Hands is such a phony he’s just laugh out loud funny!!

First: Was his totally fabricated B.S. about his friend “Tbone”, a completely made-up person. Busted!!! What a maroon.

Next: It was the fake (without tears) crying and shouting about sh*thole countries being referred to—ummmmm- sh*tholes—because actually they are sh*tholes. He’s always in jazz hands mode, but on this occasion he was in MASSIVE BOB FOSSE JAZZ HANDS MODE!! He could have auditioned for the lead in “All That Jazz” LMAO. (”Fosse! Fosse! Fosse! Jazz hands!”)

Next: His fake courage “I am Spartacus moment,” pretending to be so brave about releasing confidential documents-—when he knew they had been approved for release the day before. BUSTED AGAIN, what a lying drama queen buffoon!!!!

Next: His calling anyone supporting Kavanaugh as being “associated with evil.” That one blew up in his face, he apologized the next day. APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED, YOU STUPID IDIOT MORON!

Next: The GOP senators on the judiciary committee repeatedly and quickly voted down at least a half dozen Rat motions to delay voting Kavanaugh out of committee. Jazz Hands was PISSED, his eyes were firey murderous slits, the face of a true drama queen.

Dumb@ss Corey is the gift that keeps on giving LMAO!!
