however, for are still some things that need to be looked at. This amendment was not going to be about making us more like the Canadian system. Granted some people would like that, some people would hate that, but the main idea was that we would've gotten the option to get medicine from Canada and at the very least people or having a hard time affording medicine they need could of gotten a better chance. Please don't forget that medicine is an economic issue which makes it a political issue; it is about people who are literally in a life or death struggle to get what they need to live. A lot of these people are the working class voters that voted for Trump but also a lot of these people are those that voted for Clinton, mothers who still trying to get the medicine they need for their children.

My point is, it is possible to love Cory Booker when he does things like his heroic defense of John Lewis. However it is also possible to criticize him when he does something but frankly plays right into the hands of Republicans. Trump has toyed with the idea of allowing cheaper Canadian medicine in here, if he does that then he will be able to point to Booker and say this guy did nothing to help you. Yes I am very well aware that the GOP wants to strangle Trump for yet another thing that he might as well have said while drunk or brain-damaged. Trump is one that made pharmaceutical stocks tank this week. However, what people of all creeds, colors and genders will see is that Canada is willing to give you the medicine you need at a much better price and will not let you die because you cannot afford it. Say what you want to about single-payer, but few people left or right, hell, very few people on the left, including Hillary herself would defend the medical status quo.

If we are going to go ahead in 2020 to fight either Trump or whoever the GOP puts in his place, we cannot expect to win if we wind up saying "the status quo is good and/or the only way possible." Yes I know that is not the message Hillary gave, and the far left was very much wrong and derelict in their duty to give that impression. However, we cannot dismiss the frustration that many people have.

And I say this is one who not only thinks Booker is probably our most serious candidate for 2020, but that if Hillary picked him as the veep in 2016 she probably would be president- elect. We do need people who know how to fight, and if there is one thing Cory Booker, unlike a lot of Democrats, knows very well is that you cannot keep bringing knives to gunfights. I was born in New Jersey, and I know that it's politics have the same sort of smash mouth, kidney punch style of fighting that we need to bring to the GOP. Note, I see all these rough things as compliments, as a matter of New Jersey pride, because I know that Trump will need people who can land a low blow, kidney punch and all the other things he so richly deserves.
