Corporatist tool.
From Democratic Party inside perspective—Cory Booker looks like good packaging.
Outside that bubble, and in the nation’s political landscape, Booker is shallow and is not a suitable fit for where the people who would normally vote for the party are heading.
If the Ds will not unseat Donald Trump, in 2020, and they want to lose, well then Cory could be of use.
I have a feeling turnout from, ya know, loyally progressive Democratic voters - the heart of the party - would drop dramatically if he were at the top of the ticket. Outside of a few tools on Atlas, most Democratic voters care deeply about economic justice; it's what ties a diverse party together.
