Booker: Primary voters 'being denied' their candidates of choice
By Julia Manchester - 12/05/19 12:32 PM EST

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Thursday delivered an impassioned address about the dwindling number of candidates of color in the Democratic primary, warning that voters were not getting a fair opportunity to choose from a diverse group of candidates.

"It’s a problem that caucus-goers here in Iowa and in Nevada and voters in South Carolina and New Hampshire are being denied the choices that they are telling us they want in February," Booker said at a campaign event in Iowa.


Booker noted that Democrats needed a diverse coalition in order to defeat President Trump.

"And this is not just about individual candidates — it’s about the diverse coalition we need to defeat Donald Trump," he said.

The remaining choices include, by my reckoning, three women, one black man,  one gay man and two Jews.   The only "diversity" the Dems aren't offering is diversity of opinion - they are all liberals or socialists who seek to impeach the 63 million who voted in such deplorable fashion in the last election.

Fully agree. @Jazzhead

His best course of action, is to not drop out.

Why are there so many racists and misogynists in Dem Party leadership and among their MSM shills?

Harris dropped out for a number of reasons:
  1.  Her voice...no one wants to listen to that nasal squeaky voice of hers for 4-8 years
  2.  Her platform...did not interest most folks.  If it did, she would be leading.
  3.  Time to elect a black person POTUS...wait, that was used in 2008 and 2012...not to be repeated.
  4.  No  ...she flip flopped almost daily.  She quickly supported Jessie Smollett, which was utterly
          stupid, and made her look stupid. 

Conclusion:  If she had multiple billions in wealth, all it would do is delay her withdrawal.

Booker is just one more dumb *ss that thinks the electorate would repeat 2008.  Gone are all those sentiments expressed largely by dummies.  Only dumb *sses would use race as a reason to vote for someone in the USA.  These fools learned painfully what that meant to jobs, economy, security, etc. in Obama's eight years.

I am 66, and I can safely say we will not see another black person as POTUS in my lifetime, unless it is someone running in the Republican Party.  And I just do not see anyone on the radar that can fit that bill.

Finally, as long as AOC is the architect for the Democommie Party, they are not winning much of anything in the future.  Stupid is as stupid does.  Forest Gump's mother could not have uttered truer words.  The Dems are dumb as sh*t.  I hope they remain that way, and stay the hell out of the way.

Hey Spartacus, whadda want?
...a black ... a woman, two Jews and a cripple ???

I could never figure out why black voters were overwhelmingly backing Biden over Booker and Harris. It's being attributed to Biden's obsequious loyalty to 0bama but why would that make him preferable to an actual black candidate? Especially when it's pretty obvious that 0bama himself thinks Biden is a joke?

Perhaps we assume too much about the tribal instincts of black voters.   I've certainly voted for and against various candidates all my life,  but never was the race of the candidate a factor.  The Dems push tribalism,  but the last three years have brought jobs and wage growth (as well as a visible push-back against illegal immigrants who directly compete with working citizens).  Some blacks will surprise the pundits and vote Trump.  Even those inculcated to vote Dem probably view Biden as the Dem least likely to make radical changes to an economy that is finally working for them.

The most wonderful thing about our elections is that they are conducted by secret ballot.   We may all wear on our sleeves our loyalty to our tribes,  but the act of voting is an individual and private one.

Spartacus next will try being a jobs growth denier, just as unexpected and unprecedented numbers announced today.  Wonder how many of the over quarter million are black?
