Why did Cory Booker...

Why did Corey Booker...

... call attacks on Mitt Romney’s ties to Bain Capital and private equity “nauseating?”

... vote against against an affordable drug proposal from Senators Amy Klobuchar and Bernie Sanders that would have created a reserve fund to allow Americans to import inexpensive prescription drugs from Canada.

... Accept a $100 million donation from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg that went to privately owned charter schools? And on the subject of education, why is he a proponent of school vouchers?

... say he’d meet with anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan after condemning Joe Biden for working in the Senate with segregationists on bills unrelated to race relations?

Why is Booker continuing to attack Joe Biden?

as I think you said in another thread, it’s “silly season”. Although I will say Joe needs to get a handle on his messaging.

and is trying to do it the only way he can think of.

Time is short for getting oneself in the top five. The thinning down is about to begin, and the poll results will be how it is done.

Charter schools? Well, there are some outstanding charter schools that target students of color in many cities an that are achieving excellent results. Not all charter schools suck, actually. I suspect that his his reason.
