'Raise your hand if know why' he really called it quits.

Good He never had a chance. Forget about diversity his message was not linking with the voters

Bye Bye Mr. Potato Head!

Big surprise, he’s a racist, tried to include a false narrative of racism in his message.:.:: maybe one of the most outta touch and anti American message of all of them..... and he’s surprised his message didn’t catch on? Kinda illustrates the point

It surely wasn’t because he was in bed with Wall Street and big pharma.

How is Tulsi still in this

Just because someone is of color does that mean I have to like them? Is this now a mandate? I think all of th3 dems running have ZERO shot to beat Trump because people vote with their pocket books and the economy is roaring. Trump sucks royally, but he will win. Im voting YANG!!

Bullshit! It’s still the most diversified field: you have a Jewish man, Bernie; women, Warren & Klobouchar; a gay man, Buttigege; billionaires, Bloomberg & Steyer; a poor white man, Biden; a Hawaiian, Gabbard; an Asian, Yang; and ostensibly Deval Patrick! AishaMoodMills JoeNBC

Yay!

Lack of diversity? One of the front runners is an American Indian!

You gave it a good run. It was important for your voice to be heard.

Speaking Spanish WTF

He was never really in the race.

Look he can’t call racism he could even convince black people he was real nice try you weren’t effective

I was saddened to see you drop out of the race. You had the best chance of any of the people of color to make it. NEXT TIME OR VP this time? Who are you tossing your finds to at this time,?

He didn’t have enough hair

I respect you graciously. Be the world’s best Senator!

BREAKING: Cory Booker endorses Big Pharma for the Democratic nominee for President

Cory who? Oh the last black. You libs are the most racist. You've even chopped a fake Mexican, a real Mexican, a black woman. The China man is clinging by a Chinese noodle. All you got now are rich white men running the plantation again. Yes masssa, yes masssa.

Betard

Irrelevant.

Couldn’t afford Rosario any longer?

Well that’s heart breaking... you have an ole porno producer with a bad heart, a man who can’t leave his hands off women and children... and a 1/1024th Indian. I’m telling you that’s a field made of dreams! With Tehran Nancy singing their praises. 🤣 WWG1WGA

Aww...Spartacus! Who gon add that flav to the debates. Keep it real!

Unity... as long as you hate Trump.

Rest

So who’s fault is the ‘lack of diversity’? Should we just pick someone because of it or because they are saying something worthwhile?

monehhh Bye bye Spartacus

😸 it's about f*cking time.

That’s why you are not a viable candidate. You play the race card and diversity card all the time. The country doesn’t want to be divided by race and the Dems are constantly trying to do that!!

Just because you're a POC doesn't mean you're better qualified than someone who is white

baldism

His motto was “Obama was a black senator and you voted for him!”

Well Warren all the way now that Cory Booker is out .

Spartacus is a non-starter. Bye 👋 Cory, don’t let the door...

Who

The race card wont get him the nomination

Never heard his message. And I'm in jersey. But, keep saying everyone's a racist, if it makes u feel better.

Wait- he was still running? I forgot about this guy months ago.

Self. The only thing important to BookerDUD

kinsellawarren After 8 years of Obama, with two overwhelming mandates, it's a bit rich for candidates to constantly harp about diversity in presidential politics.

Fuck diversity.

Thank God

Why diversity is a sham, who qualified, who could pay, who wanted To run, black , Asian, women, even an injun. That’s lack of diversity my ass, quit crying, look diverse to me

Cory who? NexttoFallGabbardandYang

Who?

Time to take out the trash. Booker = Trash

Booger Just Dropped Out... Anyone Give Two Shits BookerBailed.. Sucks To Be You..

Get on board🚂

he suspends but gets to keep those hard-earned donated dollars for his :campaign: expenses like a vacation or family staff members getting paid etc ONLY IN AMERICA

We need political affirmative action

RightlyNews The field had good diversity. It’s just that many were far from qualified to lead the country.

🖕

I agree. We started with diversity, and then nost of the people just were not financially supporting the candidates they were asking for. Sad . . . Voters asked for diversity, but did not financially suppot those cadidates, like Harris and Booker!

He can eat meat again.

Next---

She never had a chance.

Diversity has nothing to do with it. It should be based on the best possible candidate regardless of ethnicity. Come on Cory get real, don’t pull the race card. I am Hispanic American, first GEN college student, LGBTQ and have never asked for special favors. Pride

So predictable💤 I thought he was already out 👀none of them matter it’s all a game and a boring one and a dangerous one clown and pony game with evil people trying to take down the best president in the whole world and they can all go cram it ..sorry that’s how I feel!

Trump 2020 👍Trump2020 maga anothereonebitesthedust

He used going out with a celebrity as his campaign run..

He can run again when he grows up.

Yang will be one of the next to go. Thankfully. Unless he wants to continue setting money on fire.

Why is everyone saying 'suspend' when it's (implied to be) permanent? Why don't you guys just say 'end'? Doesn't suspend mean something temporary? (Unless he's going to join again before election day, which, is that allowed in America?)

Nobody cares....he’s a slug compared to Trump.

Democratic Presidential race is extremely diverse. This is what America needs!

But you know who hasn’t...

Nobody wants to hear from a guy who couldn’t even handle Newark.

Was he a god...NO, just a simple man.

Now the only remaining diversity candidate is sen warren. She is one proud woman of color.

Not surprised at all- its all just a game to make people feel minority candidates have a chance when they know they don't. Obama was a once in a lifetime to win presidency. There may be a minority president but no time soom

I am Spart........... Never mind.

Yep always someone else's or something else's fault. Couldn't possibly be that you had no message. Nah that would mean you would have to take responsibility for yourself. CoryBooker

Now Cory can let his 'girlfriend' off the hook 😳

wsj SenBooker I think the voters of your party decide the diversity issue.

Hahaha

Losers

Your memes will forever live on in my gallery SenBooker

Democrats are racist

Thanks Captain Obvious

What a shame! Racist Democrats throwing away another 'person of color'.....

Haha 😂 like he had a chance

JimScotty LMFAO... could have used that $$$ to help the homeless... oh well.

So Democrats have rejected all of their woke black candidates in favor of a lily-white fake Indian, a crazy, old white communist & an old white money launderer? 🤔

CatK_UnLeashed He was nothing more than a joke anyway. He can now focus on the Hoaxpeachment.😂

😁👍 GoodNews

You consider this breaking news? 🤣😂😃

As the primaries are proportional and not winner take all, there’s a chance of a brokered convention. If there’s an impasse with the remaining candidates, they could nominate one of the early dropouts as a compromise.

I guess sadly Cory is not gonna be in the house :(

Cory Booker would go on Mike Francesa's show like 10 yrs ago and I always liked him never thought he turn out to be Al Sharpton wannabe.

Never a serious candidate.

good for him.

Never heard of him.

It is your party and constituents . They need to vote more diverse and not stop just bacause the ceiling of having an African American President was broken. Otherwise you Sanders, Biden, and Warren - unelectable. And since left isn’t working move a foot to center

Who.. “message of unity” and then plays race card w identity politics “criticizing lack of diversity” 🤦‍♂️.... I wonder why people didn’t believe this guy 🤔 CoryBooker

Loooooool

👏👏👏

People like CoryBooker must stop thinking they're entitled to anything because they're __________ fill in the blank.

No, it's just him or her ,hell who knows,lol

Booker’s racially-driven message failed to capture national attention...

Yikes I forgot about him

Lack of diversity? If we run down the identity score card, we have a woman (Elizabeth Warren), a younger gay man ( Mayor Pete), a woman of color, (Tulsi Gabbard) an Asian American (Andrew Yang) and an old Jewish man (Bernie Sanders)

Enjoy the sidelines and the bench Cory! MAGA

See ya Sparty..LMAO!!!!!!

Just goes to show that being a minority is not an entitlement. You have to win the hearts and minds of the American people. Your message of unity fell on deaf ears when you spewed devisive rhetoric on the campaign trail and pandering to like minded individuals got you nowhere.

Bye

Another one bites the dust....

Not everyone is Obama (2.0)

I'm sorry, who and what?

He had no chance in Hell!

Somehow this will be spun as the GOP’s fault...

Another one bites the dust. Ah ha!

See who's left in the 2020 presidential race:
