Would Cory Booker have fared better politically if he had come out?

I really think that we’re in a new age where staying closeted is not deemed acceptable by anyone under the age of fifty.

Cory Booker is a bit of a cornball but he’s also extremely bright. I think he would have had great success politically if he had come out. What do you think?

YES.

He probably still wouldn't have won the nomination, but he might have been able to make a bigger impact than he did.

Ironically for Booker, an openly-gay man, Pete Buttigieg, ended up seizing the moment and finishing 1st in Iowa and 2nd in New Hampshire.

Yes not gay

Depends on party & area. Think Miss lindsey... Corey would’ve had same results... mo or no.

Yes. I think it's hard for people to connect with a closeted man because they feel that deep down he isn't sincere.

A gay man becoming the nominee (let alone winning the Presidency) is probably still a few election cycles away, but as Pete demonstrated, yes there was room for a gay person to make an impact and finish in the top 5. Pete did that.

The problem for Booker is now that he's said he's straight, it makes it more difficult for him to come out as gay next time around. When the Dem party does eventually nominate a gay person, it probably won't be Booker.

R6 it will never be booker

Everyone says he’s gay but offers no evidence. Surely there’s no way he could think that he could have pulled off being president with gay skeletons, with all the scrutiny..he’d have to be foolish. What if he’s just asexual or just bad with with women or shy or weird?

He has had great success. Would he have had a bigger national profile if he had come out? If he were 20 years younger, yes.

by Anonymousreply 17July 21, 2020 6:58 PM

R16 didn’t say she outed him. Didn’t need to. Ro was like if i ain’t gonna be first lady then i’m done

by Anonymousreply 18July 21, 2020 7:38 PM

I think he's straight. I would like to think that he has a hefty thick cut penis with a big juicy head. However, i once met an AA hustler in NYC who was handsome and a bodybuilder but he had a child size penis. Teeny weeny. Itty bitty meat. He claimed it was 8 inches. He also claimed to 2 Ivy League degrees.

If Cory Booker is gay someone must have had him. please tell. I used to find him annoying but now I am charmed.

You left out openly gay WHITE man...

by Anonymousreply 20September 24, 2020 1:52 PM

he's a fucking United States senator. You can count all the black senators in US history on both hands. And most were appointed or didn't win re-election. Whatever he did that got him to where he is worked.

What is his personal fortune? I need figures.

He’s Obama-lite.
