Why didn't Corey Booker do better in the primaries?

11. No one reason.

1. You have Biden and everyone is comfortable with him.

2. Sanders and Warren effectively split one wing of the party and rendered it pointless. Not going to get enough votes there.

3. He's a bit green. Not enough people know him. Obama would have had the same issue, but when you speak at the Convention, you are going to get noticed. He hasn't had that chance yet. To draw a comparison, Reagan lost to Ford...but after he got a national audience at the convention, he had Republicans wondering why they weren't trying to elect him.

4. Did you see how many people were on the Dais? You are going to get lost in that with not enough publicity. Add to that, you can't expose your views that could garner supporters with so little time and limited questions.

In the future, I won't be surprised if he makes it to the White House or gets close. He's still building his brand, give it time. With that said, I do see a future collision. Gavin Newsome has been getting a lot of national attention and he has also been building his brand (even Trump praised him at one point, go figure).

I can easily see him taking Fienstien's seat once she retires...shoot, for all we know, she agreed to just keep it warm for him. Even my Republican friends (they call themselves independent...but we all know the real truth) say, "Shit, Newsome takes charge and gets shit done, he's probably going to be President one day".
