7. No surprise.

Why would anyone think that Booker wouldn't toe the corporate line?

13. Doesn't surprise me either

He has always leaned conservative in fiscal issues.

8. Let's see, so far eight responses (counting the self-deleted ones)....5 (6?) negatives. Sanders...

....has his minions out in force tonight!

BUT, Booker endorsing Clinton is good news, he'll bring a lot of votes to her campaign.

9. And another rising star flames out...

..by hooking up with a sinking ship.

10. Minorities are not going to go for Bernie Sanders like they did for Obama

He is just not exciting and just another boring white dude from one of the whitest states.

Cory Booker is smart -- his colorful state full of minorities will be going for Hillary and so should he.

11. Meet our new VP

Bookmark it.

12. Not surprising.

Booker is a neoliberal and so is Hillary. Birds of a feather and all that...
