'Cory Booker is gambling his 2020 hopes on an unlikely proposition' via postopinions

“What’s called me to run for president is because I think we need a revival of civic grace. We need to reignite a more courageous empathy,” Booker told a recent Democratic gathering at a downtown arcade here, where his presentation was punctuated by eruptions of video games. “We need to understand that old African saying that if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together.
And he stands in even sharper contrast from the utter lack of grace that has defined the presidency of the White House’s current occupant. This antidote to cynicism is not the message some Democrats want to hear as they are looking for their champion to take on Trump and the Republicans. Then again, virtue is a fragile platform for a politician, particularly one who made his way up in the brutal world of big-city politics. Booker’s rivals for the nomination will no doubt point to where they say his own record stands at odds with the values he embraces.
