Cory Booker went on a marathon talk-a-thon about opposing Donald Trump’s policies in the Senate. The New Jersey Democrat used a giant binder, dramatic freezes, and speeches that dragged on for hours. Critics say it’s all show, no substance—a political play that’s hard to watch. Fellow Democrats clapped politely but offerred little real support for his theatrics.
Booker’s speech had all the makings of bad drama: too many props, over-the-top delivery and no clear ending. Instead of solving problems, he just yelled at the policy. Ben Shapiro urged conservative fans to “focus on the bare facts,” contrasting Booker’s windbag antics with his own no-nonsense take. Democrats “keep serving the same old warmed-over soup,” Shapiro noted, while Republicans gain traction.
The left’s pool of ideas has run dry, turning Senate business into a circus. Booker’s performance tied up the Senate floor while Trump-focused nominees wait to be confirmed. Republicans want to fast-track judges and key appointments—actions that unite their base. Meanwhile, Democrats like Booker keep doubling down on empty gestures.
Shapiro reconciled: “Hunter Biden’s melt-down shows how weak Joe Biden’s leadership is.” He blasted Democrats for protecting crooked politicians while ignoring voters. Booker’s play-acting redirects attention from the real scandals. GOP lawmakers aren’t buying the socialism-lite agenda Democrats keep pushing.
The White House pushed back against a Republican bill banning stock trading by top officials. Booker’s pals supported the stance, claiming exceptions for Biden. Conservatives see it as proof Democrats prioritize power over accountability. “They want rules that apply to YOU, not THEM,” Shapiro pointed out.
Republicans grow impatient with Democrats’ stalling tactics. GOP senators discuss ditching cloture votes—procedural roadblocks—to pass Trump’s priorities. Booker’s speech represents the Democrats’ last-ditch move to obstruct progress. Taxpayers demand action, not theatrical political tumbling.
The 2024 election made one thing clear: voters want doers, not drama kings. While Booker grandstands, GOP candidates deliver wins on the economy and immigration. Shapiro warned: “Democrats can’t compete with Trump’s momentum if all they offer is reruns.”
This boring boarding-school play won’t save the Democrats’ sinking ship. Voters crave leaders who deliver—unlike Booker’s endless monologues. Ben Shapiro and Trump supporters know the truth: “You don’t get credit for LOUD. You get credit for LEGISLATING.”
