Between this and trying to legalize pot nationwide, Cory Booker's getting some good press lately. I think there was some pharmacy drama recently with him, but right now he has some perks too. I figure his pros and cons will be revisited a lot come 2020 if he decides to run for President.


Hes got some pros and cons being a corporate centrist democrats hes got the appeal of being palatable (if begrudgingly) to a very large number of people.

The big con there is the level of political polarization that currently exists. If you think, as conventional wisdom states, that any election in 2020 is gonna come down to base turnout then Booker is the wrong call.

A big pro is that he is black so even if he doesnt turn out white liberals he will probably turn out african americans.

Another con would be if trump is somehow not the candidate. Booker is a great matchup for someone as boxed into a political corner as Trump but if its Kasich? Much harder
