Cory Booker Is Running For President

"Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Friday announced that he is running for president in 2020.

The former Newark, N.J., mayor made the announcement on the first day of Black History Month.

'The history of our nation is defined by collective action; by interwoven destinies of slaves and abolitionists; of those born here and those who chose America as home; of those who took up arms to defend our country, and those who linked arms to challenge and change it,' Booker said in a video released Friday morning."

Booker, along with 39 Republicans and 13 Democrats, voted down a Bernie Sanders bill which would have allowed Americans to buy prescription drugs from Canada. On the surface, it appears that Booker has his own interests at heart in voting down the bill, with most pointing out Big Pharma has donated well over $200, 000 to Booker’s campaign. Enough said !!

Kamala and Cory won’t be getting this black girl’s vote, I vote for people who will do something to help people who look like me, not people who use the fact that they look like me to help themselves.

[evomusic]

That ad said absolutely NOTHING! That shouldn’t be overlooked.

[chrisbytwerk]

Cory is a corporatist dem. And that'll guarantee a second term for Trump. I'm going with either Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.

[johnnylira]

I'm Pfizer, and I approve this Cory Booker ad.

[unclebozo]

I just wish Bernie would declare his candidacy already

[Olly__]

Unfortunately, Trump is going to win if we have these candidates. P.s. that Booker video was way too staged and over dramatic for my liking

[keely_cn]

If you wanted Obama again minus the charisma and magical oration skills this is your guy.

[lucristianx]

I’m happy that the Pharmaceutical has proper representation

[muzegames]

Francesca needs to be a main host. Seriously. She's hilarious and witty. Everytime she's on the panel, I watch. Simple.

[aderabri]

Ugh. Marching bands have been a central part of the black college experience for decades. Beyonce didn't invent shit.

[therosewhisperer]

I like that lives in his district and is the only senator that does . they should all be required to live where they represent

[Ryugunner]

the only reason I'd want cory to win is the key and peele memes would be unreal

[rocky]

The 'doesn't stand a chance in 2020' club just got a new

[jennifer]

Cory bookers High energy is consistent. I don't think it is inauthentic, because I've never seen him not bursting with enthusiasm.

[kkomas]

Does anyone care that he's running? I agree, he's not gonna win.

[Burori]

That was such an empty plattitude filled announcement.

[kisubags]

Nah have always felt like he wasn’t genuine

Cory "More Platitudes" Booker. NO THANKS! *Bernie / Ojeda 2020*

[JokinJoe]

All meaningless platitudes. No substance. Not voting for him.
