He's had years to capture the limelight, to impress the media, to get the public's interest. Like Obama did.
Now he is using surrogates to suggest it's unfair Buttigieg is doing well when he is not. Somehow he thinks his credentials mean he, Booker, should be doing as well.
He plays victim - Buttigieg is white so ... white privilege. What he's saying is, he is at a disadvantage because he is partly black.
Yeah, right.
Buttigieg. The guy who dared to be a gay candidate has all the advantages.
Booker is partly black. Like Obama was. Like Harris is. Seems like the media looks for the candidates voters are interested in. Doubtless they use measures like article viewing frequency. That means Buttigieg. Not Booker.
He is whining because he is losing. He is losing because he isn't as appealing as he obviously thinks. He is losing partly because his ideas about things like identity politics aren't appealing.
Look in the mirror, mate. It isn't the skin. It's the positions you take which aren't what folks are searching for.
