Cuomo. He may be hilariously corrupt, but he's also banned fracking, made public education free, and instituted a $15 minimum wage.

[1] Pull the trigger, Piglet
[2] WI: Zombie Mario Cuomo

In the general, I'd say f[inks] it and vote for whoever wins the nod. I live in North Carolina and the alternative is Donald Trump, so it's not like I have a choice.

Cuomo. They're both patent opportunists who lack a defined set of ideals, but at least Cuomo is up front about it.

Of the two, I would also trust Cuomo more to try and reign in the influence of big money in politics, especially if he thinks it will get him more votes; I don't feel comfortable saying the same about Booker.

Yeah. This.

And while it's an ugly ugly choice, but Cuomo seems to be a more competent and experienced executive than Booker.

None of the Above----

I believe votes are earned and not granted, and at this point neither of these two has yet done anything to earn my vote.

I'd hold my nose for Booker. He's a much more charismatic speaker and campaigner.

I now think his politics are sub par, but watching Street Fight all those years ago back in high school is what first got me really interested in politics.

EDIT: Also criminal justice reform is my number one policy issue, so that weighs in on this somewhat significantly.

EDIT 2:
Vote for a protest candidate in the primary, either toss my vote if I lived in a safe state or sigh and vote Dem if in a swing state.

As with 2016, I would care a lot more about the downballot.

That sure wasn't an option as presented.

Two sub-par choices, but I'd go with Booker. He doesn't have the scandals that Cuomo has, and could be a good communicator with his social media presence.

Booker. At least he's black and would have some appeal to win the GE. I don't see Cuomo beating Trump running up the scores in Rust Belt.

I think Booker is a good person at some level, whereas Cuomo just emanates pure sleaze from every pore of his being. Lean Booker.
