Cory Anthony Booker (born April 27, 1969) is an American politician serving as the junior United States Senator from New Jersey since 2013 and a member of the Democratic Party. The first African-American U.S. Senator from New Jersey, he was previously the 36th Mayor of Newark from 2006 to 2013. Before that Booker served on the Newark City Council for the Central Ward from 1998 to 2002.
Booker was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Harrington Park, New Jersey. He attended Stanford University where he received an undergraduate and master's degree in 1991 and 1992, respectively. He studied abroad at the University of Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship before attending Yale Law School. He won an upset victory for a seat on the Municipal Council of Newark in 1998 where he staged a 10-day hunger strike and briefly lived in a tent to draw attention to urban development issues in the city. He ran for mayor in 2002, but lost to incumbent Sharpe James; he ran again in 2006 and won against deputy mayor Ronald Rice. His first term saw to the doubling of affordable housing under development and the reduction of the city budget deficit from $180 million to $73 million. He was re-elected in 2010. He ran against Steve Lonegan in the 2013 U.S. Senate special election and subsequently won reelection in 2014 against Jeff Bell.
During his five years in office, Booker co-sponsored and voted for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (2013), tougher sanctions against Iran, sponsored the Bipartisan Budget Act (2013), voted for the National Defense Authorization Act (2014) and co-sponsored the Respect for Marriage Act (2014). In 2017, he became the first sitting senator to testify against another when he testified against Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions during his confirmation hearing. In April 2018, following the FBI raid on the offices of Michael Cohen–U.S. President Donald Trump's personal attorney–Booker together with Chris Coons, Lindsey Graham, and Thom Tillis, introduced the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act to limit the executive powers of Trump.
As mayor, he was described as a New Democrat and as a political moderate, known for defending Bain Capital during the 2012 presidential election and for supporting school vouchers. As senator, his voting record was measured as the third most liberal.[1] Considered a social liberal, Booker supports women's rights, affirmative action, same-sex marriage and single-payer healthcare. His youth, public presence, and political ideology have marked him as a potential member of multiple U.S. presidential tickets. When asked about his desire to run for executive roles in American government he has stated, "life is about purpose, not position,"[2][3] neither confirming nor denying potential runs for President.

Most progressives don't like Booker because they think he is all about Wall St and big money.

How about we start with NATO?

no more expansion. no permanent bases in Poland. no more boosting spending with 'European Reassurance Initiative" . no more "beefing up" no more meddling in the Ukraine.

Of course this means treating Russia as more then just an existential threat,so no more sanctions either...

Ya I guess not. we really don't want to remove our world wide presence -but it sounds great!

If it came between Booker and Trump, who do you think progressives would vote for?

He has a very good chance assuming he gets 98% of the black vote. The black block vote was probably the only reason hrc got the nom.

Okay, then just take it as a hypothetical question.

If it came between Booker and Trump, who do you think progressives would vote for?

These boring platitudes are so played out, now that the President you support has decided to give farmers money they didn't earn because they can't sell to China thanks to the policies the President pushed through that they voted for.

It's played out.

I'm not convinced you even have a job to have anything for the government to take.

I think you're just a self-hating piece of white trash.

We don't need to listen to aggrieved white trash concerns anymore.

You support a Russian puppet.

In no world will you be allowed a lifeboat.

They've been set ablaze.

You're going down with Trump and we'll never have to hear from you people again.

The time of the aggrieved white trash voter has ended.

Same job for thirty years, hard work and loyalty pays off not that you would know. How much extra are you sending the government a month there buttwheat, how many homeless you have living with you, how many illegals?
