Members marceline Posted December 21, 2018 Members Share Posted December 21, 2018 Perhaps but as the tweet above points out, he's very good in person and ouch at the John Edwards mention. I still cringe when I think of how I supported him. I file him along Nader, Bernie and Anthony Weiner as a politician I regret ever supporting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 21, 2018 Members Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) This is the third time she's come through this dreaded disease. She's a tough woman! Just an observation from having followed his career since the days he lived in public housing (by choice) is that Booker seems very earnest, to the point of appearing over eager. This likely springs from the days of him trying to make his way among a constituency that tends to be wary and distrustful of politicians. Whether people believe he was trying to bring the city or Newark into focus among the political elite (who likely would have gone on completely ignoring the city) or using his time among low-income and blue collar constituents as a stepping stone to higher aspirations, Booker did get people to pay attention to the city of Newark and it's residents as something more than a city past redemption and an unfortunate holdover of the riots from the Civil Rights era. People started to actually regard Newark as a city that could be revived. And I seriously doubt John Edwards would've spent all that time living in public housing...by choice.

Members Juliajms Posted December 21, 2018 Members Share Posted December 21, 2018 I'm not sure I'll ever have confidence in our government again. The fact that this insanity is allowed to continue is just unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted December 22, 2018 Members Share Posted December 22, 2018 You just know some of these people are salivating at the possibility she won't make it another two years. I would have thought things would calm down as we approach Christmas and the new year, but nope. Still chaos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted December 22, 2018 Members Share Posted December 22, 2018 well, they way things are on this night.....it's just depressing. I mean a 72 year old adult throwing a child snit about the wall he wants for Christmas and just told fed workers "oh well. not my fault." I really can't stand him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 22, 2018 Members Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Me neither. To him, "compromise" means "you give me what I want, and maybe I'll think about giving you some of what you want." I just hope they don't add insult to injury by offering those gov't. employees who won't get paid for the holidays memberships to the Jelly of the Month Club.
