I like Cory Booker a lot but he needs to keep as much distance as possible from Trump...

31. "Wall Street" doesn't fund campaigns. Individual people do.

Your position makes as much sense as saying we should never vote for someone from New Jersey, because lots of people in that small state work in NYC.

When donations are reported, the government adds up all donations given by employees in a company and reports that number as if that company itself gave it..

So they'll say XXX donations came from XXXX bank. Well, my sister is a regular employee at a bank based on Wall Street. She doesn't make a whole lot of money but when she gives to any politician her donation gets lumped in on reporting forms with all the others at her company. So reporting the donations by company makes little sense.

In the case of "Wall Street" or "big banks," the reason Booker has many individual donations is that northern NJ is the bedroom community where many of the ordinary people who work in NYC live. NYC is where the financial firms are. And they employ many more people like my sister than they do like the people YOU think of as "Wall Street."
