Cory Booker took the UNPRECEDENTED step to testify against Senator Sessions...

What was SO huge that he "needed" to do this?

Quote:
not demonstrated a commitment
That's it... that he has not demonstrated a commitment... Did this require a US Senator to say this? Excuse me?

It shows that Cory Booker is NOTHING but an extremist partisan hack... he thought he could roll in and get national attention... there's mud in your face Booker... Independent moderates and the Republican would never support you because you are a vain partisan hack... I thank you for doing this, because you have just ended your politician ambition to any higher office...

Note to democrats... if you are going to do some UNPRECEDENTED... you better have some explosive information rather than whining about "commitment"... Booker you are a class A idiot...

1) Of course it's a publicity grab. I frankly think he might be eyeing a WH run in 2020.

2) He's not a hack or extremist if you look at his record...he's just making a smart political move to gain national attention which is pretty normal especially with the power vacuum in the democratic party with Hillary DOA.

Are you so cynical to think that a black man would only oppose the appointment of a racist Attorney General for publicity?

He needs more than Democrats to get him into office... what he did was purely political... we have never in history had a senator testify against another senator running for the cabinet for political points... Moderates and the Republicans will not vote for Booker over this, and his opponent should not let anyone forget... he can't win on Democrats alone and that was exactly what he did today...

That's exactly what he did... he killed his own future... he lost civility for publicity...

Didn't Booker totally clean up Newark, New Jersey and make it nice?

It's one of the more principaled things I've seen from a senator in years.

Why would a black man praise a "racist" just a couple months ago?

B: he doesn't praise Sessions in that video
