Cory Booker has been fighting for Federal Legalization of Marijuana for a long time, He knows how it is being used as a tool by the powerful elite to incarcerate black and poor people by locking them up for minor infractions such as possession of a joint, Then they are sent to private prisons and used as slave labor for the owners corporations and rich friends.
We need to release those prisoners and legalize MaryJane ASAP.

I live in New Jersey. I love Cory Booker. I would vote for him for president.

One of my favorite Dem Warriors.

Corruption scandals ,skyrocketing crime,abandoned allies.There are reasons why New Jersey is lukewarm about it’s own Corey Booker - even while the rest of the country swoons

He will not have a chance even tho he is great.

Yep, I like him BUT he is a politican and sometimes spins the way they do and that bothers me. Over all tho I think he is a good person and wants to help all his voters.

Yep but he is not as sincere as I would like.

havent been studying but have heard good things

Yes. I don't like him. He's another corporate ass kisser from what I've read.

I liked him to begin with but he's kind of a corporate democrat unfortunately.

I will be mad at him if he doesn't run for president.

YEs. He is definitely someone to watch.

Yes, he is a "comer." Didn't know he was vegan. Seems like there was something off putting about him.

Ahh, here it is.

I keep hoping he keeps it in his pants, so to speak. The current resident of the Executive Mansion may get away with such behavior but you won't. As Mayor he walked the streets negating the gang culture of the area. Affirmative action personnified. He can be a hot head but a very articulate one. Hansome man. Got swag. Is a bridge between our cultures. Will raise lots of pertinant questions. We shall see if he has answers. A cabinet position one day.

Of course I've heard of Booker. One can't have been paying attention to the political scene and not heard of him. His dietary proclivities won't get him elected or make him a better or worse administrator, so his being vegan doesn't figure into the odds. Based upon his actions in the past, though he has earned a fair amount of respect from me, his role in high level politics is problematic at best. If he were to step into the arena as a contender for the presidency, I have my doubts about his gaining the nomination. If he managed to get nominated, I seriously doubt he could win the presidency. That said, he is one of the few on the Democratic side I would like to see take the Oval Office. My preference remains Sanders, but he may not decide to run, in spite of the rumors.

He's a New Jersey Democrat. A junior senator, he was the mayor of Newark. I think he's a rising star in the DP.
