CORY BOOKER FOR SENATE
Real leaders don’t lecture you on how great they are. They remind you how great we are and how great we can be together. Real leaders don’t spend all their time pointing fingers of blame. They remind us that we share a collective responsibility to make things better. Real leaders don’t stand up and say “Only I can lead you, follow me.” Real leaders remind us that we are the leaders that we need. We are a nation that’s great not because of someone who held the Oval Office — and we have had great ones — but we are here because of all those leaders who reminded us of our responsibility. Our capability. Leaders who reminded us that the power of the people is greater than the people in power. They were labor leaders. They were suffrage leaders. They were civil rights leaders. Leaders who didn’t just speak truth to power, but who spoke truth to us. This is a moment that demands real leadership to remind us that this is our nation. That we can heal. That we can help. And most of all, in times like this, that we must all lead out of the darkness. With love and gratitude, Cory

| Tactic | Booker uses anaphoric repetition of 'Real leaders don't' to implicitly contrast himself with Trump's self-aggrandizing style, positioning himself as a humble, unifying servant-leader. |
