Bummer, dude - didn't even make it to Iowa...
[Zero Hedge] - Can we get a #Primarysowhite?
*Sob* "Hold me, T-Bone!"
The 2020 Democratic Primary just got a little bit whiter, and a little bit less diverse.

Following his complaints about being excluded from the 'all white' Iowa debate stage, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker is reportedly preparing to drop out of the race, NBC News reports.
Booker broke the news in an email to supporters, where he said he would "carry this fight forward - I just won’t be doing it as a candidate for president this year."

Here's what he said, according to NBC:

"Nearly one year ago, I got in the race for president because I believed to my core that the answer to the common pain Americans are feeling right now, the answer to Donald Trump’s hatred and division, is to reignite our spirit of common purpose to take on our biggest challenges and build a more just and fair country for everyone," he said in an email to supporters obtained by NBC News. "I’ve always believed that. I still believe that. I’m proud I never compromised my faith in these principles during this campaign to score political points or tear down others."

"And maybe I’m stubborn, but I’ll never abandon my faith in what we can accomplish when we join together," he continued. "I will carry this fight forward - I just won’t be doing it as a candidate for president this year. Friend, it’s with a full heart that I share this news - I’ve made the decision to suspend my campaign for president."

#10 AOSHQ: The Fiercely Heterosexual Cory Booker Suspends Presidential Campaign
—Ace

He'll be spending more time with his beard.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) announced Monday that he is ending his 2020 presidential campaign amid dismal polling numbers and fundraising struggles.

Actress interest Rosaria Dawson expressed regret that her role as "alleged girlfriend" was cancelled sooner than hoped.

#14 Trump didn't waste his time believing what the press said about him. Simple as that...

#15 Funny how Trump made it all the way and Cory didn't. I wonder what it means.

= Global Grifterism doesn't cut it anymore.

The only viable anti-Trump candidate for the D's is a left-wing anti-GlobalGrifter, i.e. Sanders.

But he doesn't have any suppprt from African-Americans, so he essentially splits the party in two. The D's are screwed in 2020.

#20 You can't say ol' Corey's not brave,
But it still ain't no way to behave,
Adopting so loudly
That namesake -- and proudly:
Dead white European male slave?!?
