I just took my name off Cory Booker's email list

[Omaha Steve]

He asked me to donate to Hillary. I told him why of the form too.

To be clear I do not hate Hillary. She just is not my first or second choice. She gets the nomination, she gets my vote.

1. I am so lucky to live in Minnesota

I can vote for waffles with blueberry syrup and whipped cream, no worries. If Hillary is nominated she will get Minnesota's electoral votes.

3. I feel lucky to live in Minnesota because the caucus system

lends itself to a low budget, grass roots campaign. As long as the organization is good, the caucus system gives Bernie a better chance of walking off with a lot of the state's delegates to the national convention.

Before Bernie declared I felt lucky to live in Minnesota because the caucus system gives us the option of forming an "uncommitted" caucus and electing uncommitted delegates to the convention. So, when it looked like this might turn into a coronation, we had the option of voicing our displeasure.

5. Yes that too

Minnesotans for Bernie are going to Occupy the Caucus. Then we are going to Occupy the Vote.

6. I hope so - I was speaking to someone about Bernie

and they're all excited - but when I mentioned the caucuses I got a blank look.

But people got out to them for Eugene McCarthy in 1968 (the strong showing was a shock to the Humphrey people) and for Wellstone when he ran for senate in 1992 - it can be done!

2. I have been done with Cory Booker since he joined Bain Capital and started defending Mitt Romney.

Third Way. DINO.

8. Yes, sadly he talks a good liberal game

But he is corporate through and through. Not surprised about this.

4. Cory Booker is my Senator. I like him a lot as a person, but

I'm not on board with him politically. He's much too corporate for me. I supported Rush Holt in that primary.

7. i usually don't donate to politicians, but

i did donate to obama several times when he was running in '08. a few weeks ago i donated to bernie.

i don't hate hillary either, but i'm not fond of her. if she's the nominee she will get my vote.

9. My original post that Booker voted in favor of TPA was incorrect

I call it wrong.

Thanks to Mr. Lane for correcting my error. Well not so much correcting as questioning.

But I have been slightly disappointed in some of Sen. Booker's stances, and had been a very big supporter from afar, not being from Jersey and all.

11. I thought Booker had voted Nay on TPA.

There were multiple procedural votes so maybe I missed something. I found this link confirming that he joined most other Democrats in opposing TPA the first time around. Do you have information that he switched?

[ybbor]

12. I stand corrected

It was the procedural vote I was thinking of anyway, and he'd did vote Nay on it as well.

My bad, and thanks!

[Jim Lane]

15. An understandable mistake.

Booker is generally from the corporatist wing of the Democratic Party. Going into this fracas, I was guessing that he'd line up in favor of TPA/TPP. His vote was a pleasant surprise.

13. Then you really should delete this, don't you think?

And, if you really did do that you're quite ridiculous.

[smokey nj]

14. Totally classless.

16. My take

corporate dems have lot of nerve after tpp of asking us for money.go to wall street for money.If they don't care about us time we
return the favor.

Hillary supporters are testy for us not liking him endorsing her.

If hillary were to win nomination,not a thought i like,i wouldn't vote for president.I am so done with corporate dems.I have seen
what voting for them gets us.things like TPP.
