Hillary just notched an important endorsement from Sen. Cory "Teacher Union Buster" Booker!!!

[brentspeak]

Sen. Poverty-Inducing-Bain-Capital will be campaigning in Iowa next week for Secretary Clinton!! No one knows better how to "reach across the aisles" to cooperate with school privatizers than Cory Booker.

You can just see the Wall St. puppet strings pulling Booker.

Democrats should embrace Booker's school choice support
Mark Braden 7:20 p.m. CST December 14, 2015

As a lifelong Republican and someone who has worked on political campaigns across the country, it’s not often I jump at the opportunity to praise a Democrat.

But when I saw that the Tennessee House Democratic Caucus had booked U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) as their special guest for their annual fundraiser in Memphis last weekend, I took notice.

Now in the United States Senate, Booker has continued working across party lines, collaborating with Republican colleagues Tim Scott and Lamar Alexander to support bipartisan proposals to increase funding and break down barriers for states to promote their own school choice programs.

Mark Braden is former campaign manager to U.S. Sens. Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander and served Gov. Chris Christie as deputy campaign manager. He currently is a senior vice president for Mercury Public Affairs in Nashville

Loony tune Republican Tenn. state Rep. Andy Holt (supporter of the Bundy militia) is so impressed with Booker, that he even retweeted (in support) of Booker's charter school propaganda visit to the Tennessee Democrats: https://twitter.com/AndyHolt4TN

2. I once saw the contribution tally of Booker...it rivaled HRC. Enough said.

3. Corporatists lining up to support one of their own...

color me shocked.

4. Good for her!

[JonathanRackham]

5. A number of us in my union have no intention of voting for her.

This was a union management decision done without consulting the rank and file. Next union election we're voting for change. Lots of Bernie buttons worn around work in defiance.

6. To be honest, I thought that tool had endorsed her long ago

So I'm not surprised in the least to learn this.

[ViseGrip]

7. Another reason I won't vote for her.

8. I wonder if Cory tweeted his endorsement to Lynsie Lee here in Portland before he announced it...

Would think he would want his online local stripper acquaintance to try and convince some of the record number 28k Bernie fans attending the rally for him at the Rose Garden here last summer!

9. Why would you want his support?

He has very specific policy initiatives that are at direct contrast with any candidate running on the democratic side (I hope).

10. NJ Democratic voters seem to like Booker

He won a 4-way Democratic primary with almost 60% of the vote in 2013 and faced no Democratic opponents when he ran for reelection in 2014.
