2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I see an overt faction trying to ruin Cory Booker on this board. He is a great democrat who was off [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)He actively and intentionally took up the Repubican position on Obama's MAIN election point. He was wrong, as well.
Romney has made his Bain experience the cornerpiece of his campaign and proof that he can provide jobs and make the economy grow and govern as President. He said that he'd created over 100,000 jobs while at Bain.
Because of that, Obama quite rightly is pointing out the Romney is LYING...no 100,000 jobs were created by Bain....and Romney in fact has NO experience or history of creating jobs or growing an economy.
How Booker can say that OBAMA is engaging in a "disgusting" campaign because of that...well, that is SO OUT OF LINE, and makes no sense whatsoever, that it is obvious where his loyalties lie. With the financial industry who has paid him to stop ads against one of their own. It is SO OBVIOUS. Because Booker's statements were truly incorrect and nonsensical. Illogical. Wrong.
He didn't misspeak. It was way more than that. And now we know why. He was, in fact, paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in his last election campaign...by the financial industry. No surprise there.
Never heard of Booker before. Don't know why a mayor was on MTP. But I hope I never hear of him again. Hopefully his political career is over.
