Nobody 'tougher than me': Booker pitches 2020 'unity' message
2019-02-12
'Cept maybe T-Bone.
[NBCNEWS] Cory Spartacus Booker
U.S. Senator-for-Life from Noo Joisey, formerly the mayor of Newark. Booker is a candidate for president in 2020, running on a platform of Make America Newark. He once wrote an essay on how to grope babes. He is noted for having an imaginary friend named T-Bone...
's voice is shot. Standing on stage before hundreds of potential voters in the state that boasts the pivotal first-in-the-nation caucus, Booker, in a raspy voice that normally booms, is adamant his message of love, hope and unity can win him the Democratic nomination and, ultimately, the presidency.

"They're going to say, 'Oh my gosh, more candidates talking about love and hope; oh my God, how are you going to beat Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 with that?'" the New Jersey senator, 49, told the packed venue at his last event in the state following a two-day blitz through five other cities in below-freezing temperatures.

"I want to see that man out of the White House, but I was called to dream bigger than that. ... This is a test to see how much we can unite America," he said.
"I am Shartacus!"

#9  he was a tight end on the Stanford Football team so he certainly a tough guy at that time

he was also a Rhodes Scholar (his parents were both IBM management types)

for the past 5 years or so he has been a Vegan so he may have lost a lot of muscle mass since college

also he has been living in a Democrat monoculture for many years so he may have lost a lot of smarts also

#3  ...well, 2020 looks like its becoming a clear choice between international communism and American nationalism. They have no problem calling you fascists and Nazis, have no restraints calling them communists.

#2  Notice he wants GEOTUS Trump out, but gives no reason to put him in.

Someone should ask him if he's a globalist (i.e. opposed to American unity) or an American...
