I'm not really a supporter of his but I'm tired of the left bashing the shyt out of every single Dem that runs.

This type of shyt is going to hand Trump a W in 2020 since whoever makes it through probably have Hillary-level approval by election time.

The left is incredibly critical of their own and in ways those on the right are not. People have got to stop waiting for this perfect candidate, and electing to stay home on election day. He/she doesn't exist. Saying "super predator" in the context of the abhorrent gang violence in the 90's shouldn't be an automatic disqualifier for president.

Cory is "serious", he's just corporate Democrat which is why he's inclined to take half-measures.

I suppose that makes him "less serious", but I don't like the notion that it erases him as a legitimate voice for criminal legal reform in the Senate.

Of course, half-measures aka incrementalism is why I became a progressive in the first place so I understand where breh is coming from.

Above the fray.

People bought that up in his battles with Sharpe James for Mayor of Newark.

He doesn't have natural charisma but he's a good public speaker....a lot better than people might think.

Hopefully people give more weight to his message and record than to his "swag"

He's worse than Kamala. And this dirtbag tried to backstab Obama when he agreed to be one of his spokesmen. First thing this rat did is sell him out talking about how we needed real bipartisan leadership. People who don't follow politics might not remember/know that, but this dude is dogfood to me.

Booker was defending the corporate interests that back him if I recall correctly.....and setting up the groundwork for this 2020 run.
He threw several shots at Obama over the years.

If you really think about it, Obama leapfrogged CB and Harold Ford( and Jesse Jackson Jr.). They were the ones being groomed for possible pres./ vp runs. I always felt that Booker halfway felt that Obama stole his thunder.

Tim Russert, Meet the Press. Him and Harold Ford threw Obama under the bus for a bit when Obama started coming at Wall Street.
