Corey Booker couldn't have had worse luck

[Jersey Devil]

All these presidential candidacy announcements are carefully timed and choreographed. So on the day Booker announces he gets stepped all over for several news cycles by Northam and his racist, lying crap. Well, if Booker can fight his way towards the top of the field after that he has to get a lot of credit.

1. I like Cory Booker!!!

Would be very happy to have him as my president.

I just hope that if we elect a Dem male as president he picks a female as his vice president. It's time to start seeing women in our highest offices!

5. Agreed, a woman must be on the ticket, preferably one who's credibly embraced

an aggressive progressive agenda.

[Cicada]

9. Or Cory as VP to a woman, either way works for me

I hate to be sexist but as a man I really think a woman would be better. Far less likely to be corrupt or driven by personal ego. I felt this way even before scientists found in 2016 that we men are the long sought missing link between ape and woman.

2. Northam did not plan this. The right did. Blame them. They must have been holding this for

just such an occasion.

There is a lot more where that comes from. And they know how we devour our own.

[Tipperary]

3. Whoa really?

Northam owns this.

Nice try.

[McCamy Taylor]

6. I expect Russia to feed the press lots of gems like this every time there is bad news for them.

They are experts in compromat and have probably spent years gathering info on just about everyone.

8. "they know how we'll forgive racism if it has a D after their name"

There. I fixed that for you.

4. It may work in his favor.

Whenever a democratic candidate announces, the GOP and FOX troll machine goes into overdrive bashing and ridiculing them. Booker was able to announce untainted by their spin machine.

7. Unless the press demands that he demand that Northam resign--and then paint him at "anti-white"

10. It's a long campaign

He will have lots of opportunities to get himself out there.
