HILLARY CLINTON ROOM


NBC

New Jersey Democrat Sen. Cory Booker has formally endorsed Hillary Clinton's presidential run, praising her actions on joblessness and criminal justice reform.

Booker, who endorsed then-Clinton rival Barack Obama in 2008, told supporters that he's backing Clinton just one day before his home state governor, New Jersey's Chris Christie, is expected to join the race for the GOP nomination.

1. K & R

2. With the "possible" exception of Barbara Lee, I expect Democrats to line up behind HRC. n/t

3. Agre. I believe its a unified effort to rid the cesspool of GOPTEApers from their extreme politics

Basically, clean up the limited range of tolerance that feeds off Rove, ALEC, Fundmentalism & bigotry in our legislature.
Oh ya, and the SCOTUS.
It really will take a village of strong Dems to maintain a government where Equal Rights are Human Rights.

4. Shakes head to read some comments about Corey B and the importance of

of who's president concerning the US Supreme Court, but alas, I come to expect the attitudes of some on the DU.

5. like talking to a fence post.

I see they've taken to posting in Late Breaking now that they've been corralled into their cesspool of stink.

I've watched a few spin off the face of the earth with ire.
Actually they kinda resemble the frenzied Teaparty in ways.
Its weird to witness.
oye!

But Booker is another good Dem lining up behind Hillary for MPOTUS 2016.
And this is very good news today.

6. Goodness, there you are. I was worried since I hadn't seen you in AA with all the goings on there.

Who do you think Barbara Lee will endorse, though?

[Tarheel_Dem]

7. I'm thinking Barbara may endorse Sanders. I'll have to take a look over at AA. n/t

8. Happy to tell you she is 100% behind Hillary

She is one of the founding members of Ready for Hillary.

10. You're kidding me. How come I didn't know that? Then that leaves no doubt as to how the...

conference will break out in terms of endorsements. That's a relief.

[freshwest]

11. And a real shut down on the 'HRC voted wrong!' meme. n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. Exactly. It's nice to be proven wrong every once in awhile. n/t

[freshwest]

15. Ah, you're never wrong. You made an error. That's what I say about myself, LOL! n/t

9. I answered Justin, but this may make you happy

Four Ways Hillary Clinton Inspires and Connects

by Barbara Lee

I've been inspired, uplifted, and downright awestruck by women with the grace and grit to run for office. None more than Hillary Clinton.

In 20 years working to put women in seats of power, I've helped elect 132 women in 30 states. I'm proud to have played a role in electing every sitting Democratic woman governor and U.S. senator, and dozens of congresswomen. I'm on a mission to add President Hillary Clinton to that list.

While I personally support women who share my values, my nonpartisan foundation has researched every woman's race for governor since 1998. For nearly two decades, politicians, practitioners, and press have used Barbara Lee Family Foundation research to understand the obstacles and opportunities facing women running for office.

The lessons I've learned from campaigning come from seeing a woman put herself out there to do something bigger than her. They come from seeing women win, some lose, and each of them move the needle toward more inclusive government for everyone.

The lessons I've learned are the reasons I know Hillary Clinton has what it takes to resonate with the American people. Here are the top four:

13. Oh, thanks, I just asked that before I read this. I'll delete that question. Maybe OP worthy? n/t
