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.

And out of this contest will come a victor forged in the fire ready to take on all comers.

Good. That is another one I will relish seeing lose!

In a few days, we’ll have that idiot, Amy Klobuchar to add to the mix of misfits. I swear, you couldn’t go to a bus station and find a group as nuts as this.

Klobuchar actually makes more sense as a Dem POTUS candidate to run against Trump than race baiting rookies like Kampala and Sparticus. She is also one for the Dem VP bench.

[Fireone]

She’s definitely a party shill, all the way, but I don’t think she’s very smart.
She’s a terrible public speaker, and the few times I’ve been present, she seemed very poorly prepared and uninformed.
Climate talking points, she’s got ‘em down pat. Anything beyond that, she’s a deer in the headlights.

He’s a mean bastard. Completely unfit for any public office.

[miserare]

Is this all they’ve got?. Fauxahontas and Spartacus, Jr.?

[miserare]

Who was it, way back, who promised " a chicken in every pot?" Never mind that...they get their free chicken at Popeye's and it's cooked already!😜

[miserare]

Oh...there it is. I should have read the whole thread first. You guys are always way ahead of me. 🇺🇸

[caww]

Booker is too emotionally explosive for the Dems to consider in the long run, though they will assuredly utilize him in the race as a hammer on Trump. You can expect them to infuse their candidate selections with the chosen few for that purpose alone.

[miserare]

Agree! Their primary runners will be so coached, groomed, rehearsed...esp. for their phony debates. It’s all drama. These people are so fake.

[miserare]

God forbid! Tony Soprano for President?

I never read the thread first, LOL - Now with regard to the articles....I have a long-standing policy....
