Said it already: Cory Booker. Good, kind, intelligent, politically experienced, locally and nationally.

You sound pretty certain. Could it be that itтАЩs just that you donтАЩt know who he is? In any case, I think youтАЩre mistaken. And he has a record, in the Senate, as mayor of Newark. He has interesting policy ideas, too. Lot to campaign on. Many who donтАЩt know him would like him.

I am not saying that he is in anyway a bad politician or that he wouldnтАЩt be a good president.

I am saying that he has very very little name id. He ran for president in 2019 and lasted a month. He didnтАЩt get more than 1% on any single poll during the month he ran for president. He had absolutely terrible fund raising numbers. That is just data either saying he is (1) not a good politician or (2) in my mind, more likely, no one knows who he is or what his positions are any given issue.

I am pretty up to date on politics and I honestly have no idea where he is on any issues. That says a lot for me who doesnтАЩt live in New Jersey (IтАЩm in California). Shoot I know a lot about Gavin because he is my governor but when it comes to national issues I couldnтАЩt name any of his positions on federal issues

Yep any primary fight would be awful for democrats. Only solution in my mind is and has always been Biden. That doesnтАЩt mean he will win but I have always thought he was our best chance at winning
