Republicans are praising Corporate Democrat Sen. Cory Booker's charter school anti-union propaganda

You can just see the Wall St. puppet strings pulling Booker.

Democrats should embrace Booker's school choice support
Mark Braden 7:20 p.m. CST December 14, 2015

As a lifelong Republican and someone who has worked on political campaigns across the country, it’s not often I jump at the opportunity to praise a Democrat.

But when I saw that the Tennessee House Democratic Caucus had booked U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) as their special guest for their annual fundraiser in Memphis last weekend, I took notice.

Now in the United States Senate, Booker has continued working across party lines, collaborating with Republican colleagues Tim Scott and Lamar Alexander to support bipartisan proposals to increase funding and break down barriers for states to promote their own school choice programs.

Mark Braden is former campaign manager to U.S. Sens. Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander and served Gov. Chris Christie as deputy campaign manager. He currently is a senior vice president for Mercury Public Affairs in Nashville


Loony tune Republican Tenn. state Rep. Andy Holt (supporter of the Bundy militia) is so impressed with Booker, that he even retweeted (in support) of Booker's charter school propaganda visit to the Tennessee Democrats: https://twitter.com/AndyHolt4TN
