8. Ugh...please not Booker
Fri Dec 16, 2016, 10:15 AM
Dec 2016

He is the epitome of all hat, no cattle. And we'd be doubling down on Wall Street/Charter Schools and other bad policies that do the Democratic party no favors at all.

I know I'm in the minority on this one because Booker is such a charming guy and a slick politician. But I'm close enough in proximity to Newark to know that things are still bad in a lot of ways and his solutions were largely to just gloss over it by having big companies and businesses come in as the cure which as is often the case didn't do as much as it should have for the people who have lived and struggled there for years.
