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 thats 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.

How does the mayor of a city with the 5th highest illiteracy rate and the 3rd neediest residents actually aspire to higher office with that miserable track record of failure and human wreckage?
An illiterate constituency?

He has about as much chance as I have getting a hole in one on a long par four.
Just remember, Obama, the least qualified candidate in history won. Twice. And Hillary, the least liked candidate in history won half the popular vote...well, a third, anyway...if you discount voted fraud

Gee, what a Dem Party presidential ticket for 2020. A “Booker and a Hooker (Kamala Harris)”.
Their campaign theme would be, “We conned and screwed our constituents so why shouldn’t we do it to the whole country”?

#64. What? Booker is “Black”? I didn’t know that. I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked. What will they think of next?

#68. No, Tarquinn etc., aka Maxine Waters, hasn’t launched her 2020 presidential bid yet, but she is coming out with a new fake hair company. It will be called “Wigs Is Us”. [On the street it will be called “Rat Nests R Us”}.

#53. Re 2020 candidates trying to stop Hillary and “Why don’t they Stand With Her”?
Easy answer: The smell!

Just remember, Obama, the least qualified candidate in history won. Twice. And Hillary, the least liked candidate in history won half the popular vote...well, a third, anyway...if you discount voted fraudI thought both Obama (vs. McLame and Romney ) would win easily and I hate to say it I was pleasantly surprised that Hillary lost. Spartacus has nothing going for him.

I think Hispanics are gonna make a big push for Julian Castro.
Maybe, but Castro isn't much of a candidate.
Neither is Booker.
It's hard to see either as "the one" people have been waiting for.
