had cornered the market in terms of challenging the president to fistfights. But during an appearance onMonday, the New Jersey senator engaged in some similar chest-puffing, even as he warned against allowing Trump to “drag people in the gutter.” “Donald Trump is a guy who, you understand—he hurts you,” Booker“And my testosterone sometimes makes me want to feel like punching him—which would be bad for this elderly, out-of-shape man that he is if I did that.
Booker had been recounting a story in which a former college football player at one of his Iowa rallies encouraged him to “punch Donald Trump in the face.” Replying that assaulting the president happens to be “a felony,” Booker went on to make a larger point about not getting sucked into Trump’s cycle of childish insults and threatening rhetoric.
The whole thing recalled Biden’s interview last week in which the Democratic frontrunner—jokingly!—challenged Trump to a. “This guy is a bully,” Biden said. “I’m not going to get down in the gutter with him. I’m not going to get down and trade nicknames...But the truth of the matter is, I’m not going to yield at all to this man.” Biden, too, struggled to walk the line between holding Trump’s confrontational style at arm’s length, and embracing it for a quick applause line.
The push-and-pull of Booker’s desire to get his shots in at Trump as he calls on Democrats to rise above reflects the challenges of running against a president free of any sense of ethical responsibility or good taste. It’s probably better to go high, asBernie Sanders,
You better watch out he might punch back
