What we learned about Cory Booker: [View all] madaboutharry Jan 2020 OP

Yes, Sen. Booker is a VERY good man!! InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2020 #1

I agree. He's an impressive guy. The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2020 #2

What else we learned about Cory Booker: he's not a compelling candidate. brooklynite Jan 2020 #3

We have no idea if he was a "compelling" candidate because not one single vote has been cast StarfishSaver Jan 2020 #4

So you're prepared to say that John Delaney is as compelling as Booker or Biden? brooklynite Jan 2020 #5

I'm not prepared to say that. That should be up to the voters StarfishSaver Jan 2020 #7

"Not getting a chance to be heard..." brooklynite Jan 2020 #33

The process is working precisely as it should. The Valley Below Jan 2020 #10

You like that the press and pollsters "winnow down" the candidates before you get to vote? StarfishSaver Jan 2020 #11

LOL. The candidates are being winnowed down by lack of support from the people The Valley Below Jan 2020 #12

"lack of support from the people"? What people? StarfishSaver Jan 2020 #13

I tend to believe when the word "people" is used loyalsister Jan 2020 #15
