January 11, 20179 yr Sessions definitely has a past that he should be embarrassed about, but the type of politics that Booker played here will probably come back to haunt him. He played this up for short-term gain but probably lost some long-term battles in a very closely divided senate.
January 11, 20179 yr Author Sessions definitely has a past that he should be embarrassed about, but the type of politics that Booker played here will probably come back to haunt him. He played this up for short-term gain but probably lost some long-term battles in a very closely divided senate. So did Robert Byrd and yet he's still held up as an icon by the left.
January 11, 20179 yr So did Robert Byrd and yet he's still held up as an icon by the left. Shhh Liberals are allowed to pick and choose. Not allowed by anyone else.
January 12, 20179 yr All this is with Booker is his coming out party. If this goes well for him and I have my doubts, he will be groomed to be a strong Dem contender in 2020.
January 12, 20179 yr So did Robert Byrd and yet he's still held up as an icon by the left. An icon? That's pushing it.
January 12, 20179 yr The two guys testifying after Booker were excellent for Sessions. Both have worked around and directly with him in Alabama and probably have a better feeling about the true Jeff Sessions than Booker does. Booker is using political votes to cast Sessions in a bad light for his own personal gain. FWIW Booker was less than inspiring or convincing today. Read his remarks and left, "testified" but wasn't questioned in anyway. Not really testifying the way I see it, just taking an unchallenged shot at Sessions.
January 12, 20179 yr Did I hear correctly today that this was either one of the, or the first time a sitting Senator testified against another Senator?
January 12, 20179 yr Author Did I hear correctly today that this was either one of the, or the first time a sitting Senator testified against another Senator? The Senate historian called in unprecedented.
January 12, 20179 yr I may be wrong but my guess is Booker is trying to get his name in the headlines as much as possible to build momentum for a run for the White House in 2020.
January 12, 20179 yr We're worried about a real Cory Booker when a real Donald Trump is our next president? Intriguing.
January 12, 20179 yr We're worried about a real Cory Booker when a real Donald Trump is our next president? Intriguing. So you don't think or care about anything else...only Trump?
January 12, 20179 yr So you don't think or care about anything else...only Trump? Cory Booker is still a nobody at the moment. Why is the right so worried about him? Trying to get ready for the 2020 Presidential campaign already? Seriously, Trump takes office in a week and I should be concerned about the real Cory Booker? Better yet, I should learn about the real Cory Booker from the right?
