(10,823 posts)6. I've always liked Cory Booker but the recent brouhaha
has definitely left a bad taste. One of my sons has always viewed Booker with a jaded eye believing him to be more hype than achievement. I hate the idea of a do-or-die duel over records but I think that's where we're headed. Booker has nothing to lose with his poll numbers lagging and Joe Biden is the obvious target.
In a recent Wall St. Journal poll, Booker garnered 0% support of the AA electorate. A spectacular fail. Something tells me, Booker will be reaching for another "I am Spartacus" moment in this next debate.
Because it might be his very last chance.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
