Go Spartacus!

2020 presidential hopeful Cory Booker compared his campaign to former President Obama's Tuesday, predicting he would pull off an upset win in the Iowa caucuses.

"My campaign is evolving the same way President Obama's did," he said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"The same way that Jimmy Carter and others who talked to the larger aspirational goals didn't break through right away. But God, when our team is at number three in net favorably in Iowa and climbing, ... 80 percent of the people have not settled on their final choice."

"So we're confident on our pathway to win in Iowa — to upset in Iowa," Booker added. "We're seeing local news write about the fact that we have the makings of an upset."

Booker complained about Democratic debate qualifications and claimed that they keep quality candidates from reaching the stage.

Confidence, but then race victim. . .

He also said there are more billionaires on the debate stage than black people and claimed the billionaires don't have a legitimate shot at winning the Democratic nomination.

"I am concerned that the unintended consequences of the rules that have been written, allows a billionaire – and by the way, there will now be, if this race stays where it is right now, this 2020 election, we'll have more billionaires than black people – that allows billionaires to be on that stage and not people that have legitimate chances to win the nomination," Booker said earlier in the segment.

"He also said there are more billionaires on the debate stage than black people..."

Booker is ignorant.  He should read the debate rules.

Bloomberg is self-funding his campaign.  Short of him bribing the debate rule-makers, he can't ever be on the debate stage.  To participate requires a minimum number of individual donors.  Self-funding prevents him from qualifying.

The only other billionaire is Tom Steyer, who was smart enough to qualify for the debates.

Maybe Bloomberg believes his reputation precedes him and therefore doesn't have the play the primary games like the rest do?

Booker has never appeared very bright to me.

"Booker has never appeared very bright to me."
That seems to be a characteristic of Democrat party members.

There's a scale of "Stupid" for Democrat politicians, with Mazie on one end of the spectrum, Hillary and Bill on the other end, and Booker floating in between.

For all her evilness, Hillary is likely the main factor Bill became president.  If you look at Hillary's life, she managed to get elected to the Senate (her opponent was killed in a plane crash), appointed Secretary of State, and was a fainting spell away from the White House herself.  That takes cunning and at least an above average level of intelligence in how to rig the game and stay out of prison.
