For a party that prides itself on standing against rich old white men, on behalf of the minorities, it is positioned to nominate a rich old white man. (r\/The_Donald)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another one drops out of the presidential election campaign, reducing the pool of candidates aiming for the Democratic nomination for President. Someone here brought up a good point about what happened to the actual Spartacus, with regards to his military campaign&#8230; Something about his campaign coming to an end.<\/p>\n<p>What happened to Spartacus appears to be a subject of debate. Not so much with Cory Booker. In his case, he continues his political career. It was his argument that suffered the &#8220;destruction&#8221; and &#8220;crucifixion&#8221; in the hands of a blistering fact check scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>As for the remainder of the candidates, the number of whites to minority shifted more in favor of the whites. The article touches upon the &#8220;diversity&#8221; that the Democratic party is &#8220;known&#8221; for. But, even Kamala Harris pointed to racism as an explanation for the low support for her campaign.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From the Los Angeles Times:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The only black candidate still in the running is former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, who entered the race at the last minute, is showing near zero support in polls and seems unlikely to qualify for the Democratic debates.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of racial diversity in the field comes at a time Democratic Party leaders are desperate to energize minority voters. Had black voters turned out in 2016 at the rate they did when Obama was on the ticket, Democrats likely would not have lost the White House.<\/p>\n<p>After Harris dropped out of the race on Dec. 3, Booker warned that the scarcity of nonwhite faces on the debate stage could doom Democratic efforts to spur a large minority turnout next fall. The warnings brought him a surge of donor support, his aides said at the time, but his campaign remained on life support.<\/p>\n<p>By Monday, with a depleted war chest and lacking any clear path to victory, Booker withdrew.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In one of the Project Veritas videos posted here, exposing CNN, the viewer hears how CNN had already picked favorites&#8230; Thus the direction of their coverage in favor or against specific candidates. There were plenty of factors working against Mr. Booker, including his own argument and strategies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/politics\/story\/2020-01-13\/2020-booker-quits-presidential-race\">Los Angles Times<\/a> has more information on this campaign&#8217;s suspension.
