Lawrence O’Donnell on Wisconsin Results, Booker Speech: Today Is ‘Like a Turning Point to Me’

EXCERPT:

O'DONNELL: "And as we go forward here, when you think of today, I mean, today was already feeling like a turning point for me — and maybe it’s my experience working in the Senate that makes me so Senate-focused, but what I saw Cory Booker do in those 25 hours on the Senate floor is unlike anything I have ever seen there before. And it felt to me like, 'A-ha, here it is, here’s the Democratic voice, here’s what the opposition sounds like, that Cory Booker found that voice, delivered that voice, is that voice and was that leader out there today.' And every Democratic senator who supported him and helped him by asking questions so that he could rest his voice for a minute or two, every one of them was better on the Senate floor today because of the way Cory Booker rose to this occasion and brought them all up with him. And then you get these voter results tonight, and this day does feel like a turning point day in this year of American politics."
