Quoting comment by whodoes:

"Cory Booker: caught in the Very Serious Person trap. He probably saw a chance to really impress the VSPs in the media - I mean, here's his star turn as the Democratic Maverick. Where else to play the role but on Meet the Press? I'm sure the Sunday show crowd was eating it up and Bob Schieffer was probably working on booking him every week for the next ten years. It's just too bad for him he was incredibly wrong and managed to infuriate just about every Democrat (along with every progressive) in America. Using President Obama - Mister Middle of the Road - for your Sistah Souljah moment? Wow, smart guy fell for that VSP trap hard."
