Not sure how well "let's reach out to our Republican brethren and be friends, also venture capitalists can do no wrong" will play in a Dem primary in 2020.
Anyone ever see the documentary Street Fight about his 2002 Newark mayoral run? It's definitely worth watching, if only as a reminder that local politics at the city/county/district level are always 100x wilder than the national level (at least pre-Trump.)

Democrats have yet to field anyone I want to support. Julian Castro might be the closest so far. But that might just be because I'm a bit more ignorant about him. I will say that I never want to vote for a white president again. Especially not a white male president. But if these ain't bout the worse lot of poc candidates...

Right now Warren's got the best policies of anyone who has announced hands down. Castro's not bad, I just don't see how he doesn't get squeezed out by some of the bigger name candidates. If there's someone that needs to run on the "but maybe we can win Texas this time," I'd prefer him to Beto.

22. "Obama was good but there was a lot of luck in his favor. " In response to Reply # 16
Coming off George Bush and his financial crisis.
Short Record so they can't go back and pull skeletons out his political closet like these other politicians getting roasted for their records in the 90s.
And also because of his background and color people saw him way more progressive then he actually was.
Running against a frontrunner who was very disliked and he provided a viable alternative.

He had the look, the voice and he was smart as shit but also quick to cut someone with his words.

I'm not really sure, it's going to be too crowded of a field for someone like him. There could be worse options, but what does he actually bring to the table?

.@CoryBooker's key 2020 policies, per aides: -- "Baby bonds" to wipe out wealth gap -- Sweeping criminal justice reform (more in next tweet) -- Antitrust action -- Legalize marijuana -- Job Guarantee pilot -- Housing tax credits 4 renters -- Green New Deal -- M4A
Hadnt realized breadth of Booker's criminal justice plans
Including: -- Beef up $ for public defenders; -- $ for areas hurt by War on Drugs; -- "Ban the Box;" -- Improve treatment of incarcerated women -- Federal $ to states to reduce prison pops -- New police accountability rules
29. "some interesting ideas actually" In response to Reply # 24
I'd have to think about baby bonds some more.
I didn't realize his stance on cjr either.
I'll say this- with pretty much everyone for M4A, I think the first candidate who is able to effectively present HOW they would implement it will have an advantage.

unfortunately you those who vote against their interest because they got theirs and despise illegals.
There is nothing we can do for those folks. They too far gone.
It’s white women.. and lord knows we can’t trust their vote.

People talk about coming off phony....This guy is==>Fugazi
There is nothing not calculated, researched or designed to give him an advantage. He is the number one stunna for all of the political stunts that he pulls.
The "hotpockets" and "burning building incidents" didn't go down as the media reported. Just like his I am Spartacus moment.. Everything is staged and exaggerated to heighten his image. Somehow the media let's him get away with it.
There are never Trumpers. I'm a never Corey.
(The duels with Sharpe James were epic though..Corey gave as good as got)
