Why isn’t booker getting any traction?

[Anonymous]

I don’t love him but he’s a lot more acceptable than harris or Beto.

They’re all kind of in the same lane but Beto and Harris are Cushing him.

Why?

He’s a pretty cool dude - kinda cringe but cool.

Another pretty face and little more.

His Spartacus moment was absurb, and probably many voters just know that about him.

Harris has already been anointed by the party establishment.

Beto's appeal is that many women in the media are infatuated with him. That combination of JFK peppiness with an "Aw Shucks" wholesomeness is catnip to the upper-middle class white women demo that predominates in media circles.

Booker's chances will no doubt be hurt by his penchant for grandstanding and embellishing the truth for rhetorical purposes. Take, for instance, his many references to "T-Bone," a drug dealer who Booker claimed to have been friends with. Various critics have questioned whether T-Bone is actually a real person, and Booker has never really provided a definitive response.

Booker was talking about T-Bone at least as far back as 2000, when he gave an interview to Stanford Magazine. (Booker is a Stanford graduate.) "I still remember my first month on the street," Booker said, referring to the time in 1995 when he moved to a dangerous neighborhood in Newark. "I walked up to this charismatic black guy my age called T-Bone, who was one of the drug lords. I just said, 'Yo, man, wha's up?' And he leaped in front of me, looked me right in the eye and said, 'Who the blank do you think you are? If you ever so much as look at me again, I'm going to put a cap in your ass.'"

He has imaginary friends.

1. It's time for the women.

2. That particular man has questionable ties to big pharma.

All of the Senators run together for me. My preference would be for Not-A-Senator.

The sad thing is booker didn’t live far away from the streets. He could’ve easily met real street og’s if he wanted to.

I love bigots.

I think it’s basically two things:

One is that it seems like some politicians can get overly anticipated and, when they arrive, the splash isn’t quite what people imagined. Think about how much “will he run???” chatter once surrounded Scott Walker and Chris Christie.

The other is that Booker has a little bit of an annoying streak. The Spartacus moment was cringe-worthy, and his recent “I’ve got a boo” proclamation was silly.

It's still pretty early.

I think he'll do better over time.

One problem he has is that, in hearings, he sounds too scripted. He sounds as if he's just saying what his staff people told him to say.

But I've seen him speak in person once, at a roast. He was smart and hilarious. He didn't sound like staffer puppet at all.

I think another great thing about him, for this particular election, is that he's strong, forceful guy. When he was mayor of Newark, he must have had to deal with all sorts of mobsters. Maybe knowing how to talk to mobsters without crying is good preparation for dealing with Trump and Putin.

I just posted that I'm starting to like Booker.

But one of the best arguments against nominating any Democratic senator, or any sane Republican senator, is that we need all of the sane senators we can get.

One of the best things about nominating Biden is that there'd be no chance a crazy person would end up filling his seat in the Senate, because he's not in the Senate.

Like the mayor from South Bend. He is setting himself up for the future, but he is bright and has a dash of charisma.

Is Beto more bangable than booker?

Honest q. Booker is a lot more attractive, isn’t he? Plus he’s def a lot more hung, no?

Do women really think Beto is more attractive?

Robert Francis has those big paws. Booker acts more controlled.
