2- Booker has a message that we all badly need to hear. I hope that at the very least, people will think about what he has to say! "Booker will seek to set himself apart in a crowded field focusing on a message on love and unity, one that urges America to swing back from a bitter
3-"divisive era under President Donald Trump. He also intends to appeal to the better angels of the Democratic Party — if they’re willing to listen — that it’s possible for a Democrat to work across party lines, three advisers familiar with Booker’s strategy told POLITICO.

5-"Booker intends to say in an announcement video. “Unlike everybody else in D.C., he would find good in everybody. He’d be about building relationships, getting things done,” a longtime Booker adviser said. “People fault him for that. To me, if you go a different route than
6-"everybody else, you never know where it might end up.” Booker teased this message at NAACP rally in South Carolina last month honoring Martin Luther King Jr. "King said we can never let someone pull us so low as to hate them. We need each other in this nation. We need people
7-"that are gonna put the indivisible back into this one nation under God. We need folks that are gonna mend up wounds and bind us back together,” Booker said. “We’re not going to be measured by how much we hate someone just because they vote differently than us or think
8-"differently than us. No, we will be measured by our defiant love and our ability to pull people together and help them to recognize that the lines that divide us are nowhere near as strong as the ties that bind us.” Best of luck, Senator! #BOOKER2020
