Sen. Cory Booker launches 2020 presidential bid
Chicago Sun Times ^ | 02/01/2019 | Associated Press

Posted on 02/01/2019 7:39:39 AM PST by Salman

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker on Friday declared his bid for the presidency in 2020 with a sweeping call to unite a deeply polarized nation around a “common purpose.”

The New Jersey Democrat, who is the second black candidate in a primary field that’s already historically diverse, delivered his message of unity amid an era marked by bitter political division.

“I believe that we can build a country where no one is forgotten, no one is left behind; where parents can put food on the table; where there are good-paying jobs with good benefits in every neighborhood; where our criminal justice system keeps us safe, instead of shuffling more children into cages and coffins; where we see the faces of our leaders on television and feel pride, not shame,” Booker said in the video, subtly jabbing at President Donald Trump.

Well, other than that it was a pretty successful launch.

“Shuffling children into cages and coffins”

Oh yeah, Spartacus Jazz Hands, that kind of talk will definitely unify this “polarized” nation.

Jazz Hands’ perpetual black victim whine fest is almost 60 years old, very unoriginal, very predictable, very boring.

YAWN...................

You couldn’t even build that in Newark, what makes you think you can do it nationally?

Next question....

When will you account for all the money Newark was given by Zuckerberg and taxpayers to fix Newark’s school system? One that was so Effed up under your leadership that the State had to take it over?

This guy is toast.

***“shuffling more children into coffins”

That must be after they’re hacked to pieces in abortions. Is that what he means?***

Babies killed by abortion don’t get coffins, and if the abortion is botched the baby is put on a counter to die in excruciating pain.

Many times they are hacked to pieces in a ghoulish fashion
and the parts sold

Because this is a pipe dream spouted by RATs and nothing more than that. We will always have the criminal class who have zero intentions on being anything other than that . . . they’re takers not producers. Nice try Spartacus, but no cigar.

Aaaannnnd suddenly, all that crap in his background will disappear, never to be revealed anywhere but conservative sites, at which Rinos and neocons will join together with leftists and fling poo! (It’s magical! Any democrat, no matter how much dirt in his past, has it suddenly erased, the minute he runs for office!)

Uh oh, the feminazis aren’t going to like this.

It will be entertaining though.

Don’t forget Beto “I got my teeth cleaned!” O’Rourke! He’ll show up on that list, soon. (As a replacement for that Kennedy cousin who, unfortunately, appeared to be drooling, during the democrat SOTU response, last year. Besides, he didn’t have nearly enough teeth, or a cool hispanic sounding nickname).

That’s nice. That makes number 541 running for President.

Last time the list of initial fillees was over 5,432 people.

I think my favorite was ‘Zero the Cockroach’

Oh well.

I think we can rule out Peter Gigglebutt and Andrew Gollum, as serious candidates...
