welcome to the show Cory
Booker:
great to be here Tad
Todd:
what was the message of the voters?
Booker:
both parties shouldn't feel great

Clinton lost the electoral
college
and Trump lost the popular vote
Todd:
right
Booker:
both sides should reach
out
and find common ground

people wanted a disruptor
Booker:
people are fearful of a man
who
spewed twitter trollish vile hate

understandable

people are coming up to me in tears
Todd:
golly
Booker:
they terrified Trump is going
to
force Americans to leave their country
Todd:

– should
they just accept the

the
right to vote if not for protesters

but they're so loud and annoying

Trump is threatening
to
take away people's rights!

in theory
Booker:
I say god bless them!

woo!
Booker:
but also don't indulge in hate
Todd:
right
Booker:
I was mad when they said
their
goal was cripple Obama and
that's
true for Trump

how nice

my goal is to help people
Todd:
good
Booker:
let's not lose our honor

bigotry
and hate we will fight back

elites have failed to bring
back factory jobs

the Donald attracted all the
people
in America disappointed with
their
own lives which is pretty much everybody
