NJ Sen. Cory Booker delivers 'wake-up call' for Democrats in impassioned floor speech

Sen. Cory Booker delivered his second attention-grabbing floor speech of the year on July 29. Though not a record-breaking marathon speech like the one he delivered in March, this speech was what he referred to as a “wake-up call” for the Democratic Party.

Sen. Cory Booker delivered his second attention-grabbing floor speech of the year on July 29. Though not a record-breaking marathon speech like the one he delivered in March, this speech was what he referred to as a “wake-up call” for the Democratic Party.

The senior senator from New Jersey took aim at law firms, universities and even businesses that should be “bastions of free speech” but instead are “bending at the knee” to the Trump administration.

“What are the very people here, elected to defend the Constitution of the United States, saying?” he asked. “Oh, well, today let’s look the other way and pass some resources that won’t go to Connecticut, that won’t go to Illinois, that won’t go to New York, that will go to the states he likes.”

No doubt the half-dozen colleagues in attendance were all ears.

The only chance the Democrats have is if they can keep making crazy people. They have to get young people confused about their sexual identity; they need to scare people about the climate; and they have to convince people that criminals are misunderstood and should have rights.

Hopefully, people are just not going to fall for it anymore. Still, it's frightening how many are still considering themselves to be Democrats.

You need to learn when to shut the hell up, Cory, and that time is now.

JMO, YMMV

If I ever write anything about Cory Booker, like an essay or an article for a magazine, I will include a photo of him with crazy eyes, since that seems to be how he normally looks.

He has the look of desperation. He not only lost the mushy middle he is losing his hard core base. The only ones left are the most extreme in our society and so he is pandering to them but the question is why?

Those he has left are never going with the Republicans, so he could just ignore them and attempt to win back his base.

The Democrat party is no longer the Roosevelt Democrats, or Union Democrats, or even the deep south Democrats, they are the real extremist party. They support every extreme on the fringe idea that is out there.

Lucky for America there are not enough of them to do much damage outside of large urban areas and even there they are losing support.

If real lucky the Democrats will go the way of the Whigs.

Impassioned??? More like histrionic.

More like scary?

Look at his eyes, body language, and aggressive behavior.

May want that drug screen (just, of course, to rule meth rage out.)

Corey is getting a little “thic in the middle.”

I watched his speech yesterday and he looked unhinged. And fat.

He’s gonna have to work on that if he wants to be President.

Booker is racist scum. His head is like a football. He needs to grow up and throw away the race card.
