Booker: It would be ‘irresponsible’ not to consider running for president
By Brett Samuels - 09/19/18 10:50 AM EDT

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) indicated he is weighing a run for the White House in 2020, calling it "irresponsible" not to entertain the idea.

"Of course the presidency will be something I consider. It would be irresponsible not to," Booker said in a profile published Wednesday in New York Magazine.

Booker, who has long been considered one of the most likely Democrats to launch a presidential campaign, told the publication that his colleague and fellow potential presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) encouraged him to remain focused on positivity as he has done in the past.

“She said to me, ‘If you want to talk about love and kindness and decency, talk about those things, because it’s where you are,'" Booker said. "I feel like if I start poll-testing or shaping myself, where we start operating out of fear, I think that’s going to dim my light and my impact.”

Booker, Gillibrand, Sen. Eilzabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) are among the most likely lawmakers to wade into the 2020 race. All have been staunch opponents of President Trump's agenda.

Like virtually all Dem pols, Booker is short more than a few brain cells but just smart enough to be dangerous.

In his mind's eye, he is already ruling us inferiors.

The guy should be committed instead.

The US has already met it's affirmative action requirement's for electing Zebra's to occupy the White house.  Diversity demands another minority be foisted upon us.

What a collection of front runners.  It's almost embarrassing.  The the most popular democrats right now are the avowed socialists.

I think they will lost the more moderate part of their constituency.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
Corey and Camila can fantasize all they want to no avail.  The simple truth of it is that HR Clinton will make a third run, and win the Democommie nomination handily.  Why?  Well, for starters, she is sitting on multiple billions in her faux foundation, and she can restart her money train of foreign bribery at the drop of a hat, and secure several more billions.

The entire field of Democommies combined could not raise as much money as she is sitting on right now.  Yes, there will be many Dems turn out thinking they have a shot.  But mark my words, when HRC announces, 50% will be dropped in the race after Iowa.  The rest get knocked off quickly due to lack of funds.

And all you folks that think she is done, ask yourself one question.  Why is HR Clinton making every effort to be in the DAILY news cycle?  Why is she traveling the world to decry Trump if not for the single purpose of running in 2020?  She is running.  And she will win the nomination only to lose the general election again.  Trump won 36 states electorally in 2016 and will win 40 states in the 2020 election.

For Corey and Camila, gone are the idiot whites, and I knew a number of them, that ran about saying 'it is time we vote for a black man as president'.  No mystery why.  Obama was the worst president in history. Having two of the worst in history back to back, i.e. Bush and Obama, Americans are not going to vote for another black man or woman, and they sure as heck are not going to vote for HRC, but she goes again.

And hey, why wouldn't she when their mantra has been she got 3 million more votes than Trump did.  This time, she lives in PA, OH, FL, MI and WI.  She still loses.

I cannot wait for the Democommie circus.
