Booker worries about anything that will threaten the legitimacy of the process within the Democratic Party.

Cory Booker: Yes. Yes, even though I am trying to become a superdelegate--I am just a delegate now. I want to get my cake for crying out loud. I want to get my superpowers. Yeah, of course I am.
