If there’s any fun on the horizon at all, it’s gonna be when all 58 Democratic candidates for president are up on that debate stage and have to actually, you know, fight for the Democrat nomination. We’re certain they all envision a “let the best candidate win” scenario where everyone’s nothing but positive and the people make their choice based on who comes across as most charismatic.
Maybe we’ll give the Democrats some advice and remind them how the DNC and Hillary Clinton teamed up to kneecap Bernie Sanders, who was winning states at a clip well beyond the comfort zone of the Clinton machine.
But for now, senators and 2020 candidates Kirsten Gillibrand and Cory Booker are playing nice.
Congratulations and welcome to the race to one of my closest friends, @corybooker! I'll be cheering you on—just, you know, not TOO hard. pic.twitter.com/zeWskppQpv

Huge smile! Kirsten, I am glad we are both in.
As I told folks today on The View:
You are my sister. There may be some sibling rivalry but we will always be family. https://t.co/EHqfZtdKYN

Yeah, remember that scene from “The Dark Knight” when the Joker hands the thugs both halves of a broken pool cue and says there’s one opening in his organization? How many months until the Democrats get there?
let's see how this tweet will age ??

How long before you turn on Booker so you can get ahead in the polls? @SenGillibrand

Looks like two corporate Dems who are scared of Bern.

He takes a lot, and I mean a LOT, of donations from Wall Street, yet expects me to believe he will fight for ME and MY interests. Tell me Kirsten, are you a sell-out to big business too?

Ha, ha!

Today we see sweet Cory, but sadly this will change when the election goes on.

Wait until he goes full Spartacus on Gillibrand.
There’s a train wreck. Lmao!!

Combined, you two would be lucky to poll at 5%.
— Vinny (@vinnyc101) February 1, 2019
Both of you have 0% chance of winning
— choklet kylekulinski (@danki) February 1, 2019
Neither one of you con artists will be the nominee.
— Benjam (@benjamuniverse) February 2, 2019
Congratulations. You’ll both be out of the race soon. Ambition is the worst reason to be president and sadly that the best you both have when compared to others Already declared as well as few on the fence. Try being better senators; Corey stop taking Big Rx money.

Two perennial “also rans”. Focus on doing the job you have right now well.

Great to see that you will be stealing votes from each other.
— Bernhard Strobl (@sharethelove0) February 2, 2019
You both will step aside for a preselected Kamala Harris

10 years or less and they will both be salaried MSNBC contributors
