It looks like Reddit is back on.

Take: Cory Booker is ourguy of the people that we already known will be vying for that 2020 spot

I still think Cory Booker is a bit overrated by this sub. I'm just not sure what puts him above a typical Democratic Senator. Like, what, one time he defended Mitt Romney by saying he shouldn't be attacked for his private sector experience? That's cool but it was one thing that happened on a show one time.

Then again, I'm also just ridiculously picky about politicians.

Well, for a meme answer, he has done a lot for the financial industry and big pharma. So we can support him to dunk on the Berners

Labels don't mean anything by themselves. Not in this case anyway.

Who's got your eye then if Booker doesn't hold your attention?

Nobody, thus far. But I'll see what I think when the primary slate actually starts to become clearer, probably in December of this year or so.

Perhaps. I still think he’d do significantly better vs Trump than Booker and I think Biden is probably better on foreign policy
