17. My take - Booker is telling people what to think.

I think Chris Murphy is a stronger leader than the other three.

The other three have their qualities...but. I think Ossoff is a great orator, and has a strong future in the party, but he he needs to put in more time to get the chops for leadership. IMHO, opinion Roy Cooper is too much canned southern politician rhetoric. Talarico is good, but a little bit too focused on religiosity, IMHO. I think they both come off as a one trick pony.

I don't know why Booker thinks he is the voice of the future of the party. What is he up to?
