Cory Booker and some other Dems BLOCK Drug Imports from Canada

New Jersey has few industries. Biopharmaceuticals is one of them. Its no surprise both NJ senators voted against this. Its in the interest of our state.

Why is Booker being singled out? I see a couple well liked dems here on this list

I find it surprising that you of all posters would ask this question.

You seem to think that Booker is the right pick for Dems in 2020 when he is the exact opposite of what Democrats need. It shouldn't be surprising that he'd be singled out for a questionable vote when practically every media outlet considers him a" frontrunner" for 2020. I've repeatedly said that Booker wouldn't survive a Democratic Primary because he's the epitome of a politician that is bought and paid for. The Sanders wing of the Democratic party will reject him out of hand just like they did with Hillary. He's a plastic neoliberal.

This was a popular amendment proposed by Bernie Sanders, of all people, and Booker lacked the guts to stand up to the pharmaceutical industry.  

Such a stupid move.
 

Our state needs the Pharmaceutical industry.

Then stop price gauging the sick.

Thats for the people in Washington to regulate, not Trenton.

No offense but your state's pharma industry isn't more important than people's health.  Booker and Menendez are depriving a lot of people from being able to afford medicine that is necessary to save lives.

A senators priority should be their constitutes above all else.

Disgusting. Primary them all!

We need our own Tea Party now to rid our party of its worthless, compromised officials and to put the rest on notice that we're watching every vote they cast. It made the GOP a more effective party; it'd do the same for us as well. These 13 Senators would be the first targets.

Good luck with that.

Are you defending a Senator who places the interests of an industry over that of consumers? Especially one who belongs to a party that's supposed to represent the interests of the poor and working class? I understand the importance the pharmaceutical industry plays in the New Jersey economy, but that alone does not justify the direct harm blocking more affordable drugs from Canada would cause to the lower classes in New Jersey. Or are they just not as consequential?

Its not as black and white as your making it out to be. But if this bill is as beneficial as you say it is, place blame on the no votes that came from states that aren't dependent on the industry.
