Cory Booker blames DNC for lack of diversity of DEM presidential candidates.

Angry Spartacus

OH HO...this is Rich!

The Jeff Bezos Peoples' Republic: ‘It’s a shame’: Castro, Booker blast potential all-white Democratic debate lineup after Harris drops out.

After Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) announced Tuesday she was ending her campaign for president, some supporters were shocked and some megadonors were frantic, trying to get their recently donated money back.

But to many — including several other presidential candidates — the immediate reaction to her departure was what it meant for the Dec. 19 Democratic debate: Namely, that the event may now have an all-white stage.

“I’m a little angry, I have to say, that we started with one of the most diverse fields in our history, giving people pride,” Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.), who is among the nonwhite presidential candidates who have yet to qualify for this month’s debate, told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Tuesday night. “And it’s a damn shame now that the only African American woman in this race, who has been speaking to issues that need to be brought up, is now no longer in it.”

For many critics, the question was how this historically diverse class of candidates has faded to white — at least on the national debate stage — before February’s Iowa caucuses. To Booker, part of the problem is that this cycle’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee’s qualifying rules are “preferencing millionaires and billionaires.”

 Yeah, it's the DNC's fault. Blame them. But - but - Diversity is their Strength!

Cory Booker says the government is underfunded, needs more revenue. More taxes! Higher taxes! He even wants to take away our Sunny Afternoon!

Real Clear Politics: Cory Booker: "We Need To Bring In A Lot More Revenue In This Country".

SEN. CORY BOOKER (D-NJ) at MSNBC's Democratic presidential primary debate: Well, first of all, I think we all agree that we need to bring in a lot more revenue in this country. We actually have a real problem with the tax rates, tax loopholes, tax cheats. And I don't agree with the wealth tax, the way that Elizabeth Warren puts it, but I agree that we need to raise the estate tax. We need to tax capital gains as ordinary income. Real strategies will increase revenue.

But here's the challenge. We as Democrats need to fight for a just taxation system. But as I travel around the country, we Democrats also have to talk about how to grow wealth, as well.

Yeah, it's not a a spending problem. It's a lack of revenue.

"Grow wealth." Cory needs to consult with Crazy Bernie and Liz Warren on that. He's obviously far behind the 8-ball.

The Kinks - "Sunny Afternoon", DEMS want to take that away from us too.

1,000 show up to meet ten DEMS at the Iowa Cornfeed. 1,000!

Radio Iowa: 1000+ at Progress Iowa Corn Feed hear 10 White House hopefuls:

Leading contenders like Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala (COMMA-luh) Harris and Bernie Sanders did not attend the event. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio had been on the speaking schedule, but flew back to New York after a major power outage in the city. Washington Governor Jay Inslee, another candidate on the speaker’s list, didn’t make it due to a flight delay.

Whoa...those poor Iowans who attended the annual Corn Feed met and listened to the ten players of the Y Team. Hickenlooper was there. Oooooohs! Ahhhhhhhhs! And Amy, too! Wow-hoo-whoo!

Anyone from Iowa who left the Corn Feed impressed with what they heard?
