I don't believe people should stay in this just to stay in it, you either have a trajectory to win or not. And right now, we don't raise $ 1.7 million, we won't be able to make the investments necessary.

For him not to have a more comprehensive plan to deal with this is unacceptable to me, especially because he is partially responsible for the crisis we have now.

He is actually using racist tropes and racial language for political gain.

The Notre Dame game was one of those nights where Paul Nickel get home at night and feel the good kind of tired, i took a deep breath, and I remember saying,' Okay, I've done it.'.

Life gives you these incredible gifts at times disguised as failures or setbacks or knockdowns, these humbling moments that ultimately end up being turning points for you to greater opportunity beyond that which you imagined, and this was yet another football gift to me, to be able to play at high level, Division I competitive football, to sit with a guy who would go on to be... a playoff coach, and have a moment that you think is a devastating end, and it turns out to be an extraordinary, unimaginable beginning.

Talk about a crushing moment. by Cory Booker

Talk about a crushing moment.

Right now, the vice president to me is not doing a good job at bringing folks together. In fact, he's caused -- and I've heard this from people all around the country -- he's causing a lot of frustration and even pain with his words.

Its about a culture that sees a problem with a kid wearing a hoodie in the first place. Our nominee needs to have the language to talk about race in a far more constructive way.

We will treat each person with the respect and dignity that they deserve as humans.

I hear gunshots in my neighborhood, i think I'm the only one, I hope I am the only one that had seven people shot in their neighborhood just last week.

When the primary is over we become a united force. by Cory Booker

When the primary is over we become a united force.

We as a nation have not yet truly acknowledged and grappled with racism and white supremacy that has tainted this countrys founding, it continues to persist in those deep racial disparities and inequalities today.

Vice President Biden's relationships with proud segregationists are not the model for how we make America a safer and more inclusive place for black people, and for everyone.

We need to plant lots of seeds in our democracy to create the kind of harvest we need.
