Heard Cory Booker speak at the DNC. He’s a fantastic speaker. Better even than Obama. Very inspiring.
But people must have been insane to suggest Hillary should put him on the ticket. She doesn’t have his oratory skills. It would have looked horrible. A more charming, more energetic, younger veep who is a massively better speaker? What kind of a dumbass would orchestrate such a ticket?
You don’t want a VP candidate that outshines the top of the ticket and takes the spotlight off the person running for President.
Michael Dukakis had a very distinguished #2 on the 1988 Democratic ticket, while George H.W. Bush had to do with Dan Quayle. Didn’t help Dukakis a bit.

Exactly. His is a rare gift, and Hillary simply doesn’t have it.

This is how people first heard of Cory Booker.
Yes, it was stunty, but it had other elected officials trying to imitate him.
