MAGA is worried about Senator Booker’s speech. As well it should be. He’s been laying out in detail how exactly Trump is harming millions of Americans for over 20 hours.

Exactly. As usual they are naked and afraid and trying to distract by changing the subject or derail the conversation.

Booker is on fire.

My gay friend don’t buy the “conservative upbringing” argument. Buttigieg is the son of college professors, at least one of them a Marxist. He wrote his high school essay about Bernie Sanders, socialist Senator from Vermont. And he stayed closeted in VERY gay-friendly environments, like Harvard, Oxford, McKinsey, and Democratic Party politics.

1/3 of my gay friends think he’s lying now, that he’s “on assignment” as gay. They point out that he has never ever been seen french kissing a man, including his husband.

2/3 think he is really gay and was lying before by staying totally closeted and only dating women until age 33. They don’t think he was scared of discrimination, they think his living a lie of being straight so deep into his adult life is a sign of extreme ambition and sociopathy.

The official Pete story, which is the one that I believe, is that he really didn’t know he was gay until his 30s. I’m probably right, and my gaydar gays are probably wrong. We’ll probably never know for sure. The takeaway is just that gay people don’t tend to like or trust Pete as much as straight Democratic strategists expect them to.

I’m gay and my partner and I have been together nearly 20 years. No one has seen me kiss anyone of the same or different sex. I don’t hate Pete. Gays are not a monolith.

We have to lead with respect and dignity. Not slander and insults. Ignore the messenger … however the message … maybe we can learn from it

Democrats are in love with themselves and their policies and can’t ket any of them go, no matter how destructive to iur electiral prospects

pp, I am annoyed at everyone else on this thread. I’ll keep an open mind about corey booker. I am pretty good at spotting when things are going downhill (I spotted hillary a couple of weeks out from the election and pfft… I called trump from the gate).

While it’s easy for me to spot the loser, it’s harder for me to spot the winner. I guess that is why I’m not a billionaire.

The last election was never a close call. She had one good week. When Obama started publicly chiding Black Men… Well,It was funny-sad at that point in time.

Trump won by less than two percent of votes. That is not a mandate and, yes, a close election.
