Robert Gehl writes that Sen. Cory Booker apparently thinks he can pick up the mantle of aging Socialist Bernie Sanders and run with it all the way to the top.

While – as Red Alert Politics points out – the New Jersey senator portrays himself as a leftist, populist man of the people, he is really just another Washington, establishment Democrat supported by Wall Street, major real estate developers, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Still, at a protest on Tuesday with members of Planned Parenthood against any change to Obamacare, Booker likened the leftist demonstrators to the brave World War II veterans who fought the Nazis and Civil Rights activists.

“We may not be called to storm the beach in Normandy, that was not our time,” Booker said. “We may not be called to stand with Sojourner Truth and utter those words, ‘I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.’ We may not be called to stand in the slums with the Irish immigrants who fought for labor rights that we now take for granted. We may not be called to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge with John Lewis and other activists, facing tear gas and billy clubs.”

“Those were not our day,” he continued. “But today is our day. History is now calling upon us to stand in this moral moment and tell this nation, ‘We have come a mighty long way but we have a mighty long way to go.’”

It looks like the New Jersey Senator is setting himself up for a 2020 run. What do you think?
