TOO SOON: Cory Booker Says He Will Have A Woman Running Mate
Democrat presidential aspirant Cory Booker vowed to choose a woman as his running mate if nominated by the Democrats to run against President Donald Trump.
“I will have a woman running mate,” Booker reportedly said at the She the People summit for women of color. (READ: Here Are The Democrats Tainted By The Jussie Smollett Hoax).
Talking about one’s potential running mate too early is a bad move. Booker is nowhere near the first caucus or primary and his campaign is not exactly taking off, getting overshadowed even by Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Trending: More Americans Now Identify as Republicans Than They Do As Democrats
Booker’s campaign so far has been marked by the emergence of a righteous truth-telling man who roasted Fake News CNN at a Booker event, and for CNN’s Don Lemon telling Booker that he did a good job at a televised forum.
BLP reported: An attendee at a town hall for Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.) used his opportunity to speak to bash America’s most notorious conspiracy theory network.
“If CNN is in this house, you need to take a lesson from her. This is what you call a real town hall meeting,” the man said. “All that mess that CNN be doing is all fake. They already got people out in the audience already picked who they want to ask a question. It ain’t going down like that here, so – so CNN need to take a lesson of this.”
The town hall was organized in a grassroots fashion, and was streamed on C-SPAN. CNN, known mostly for purveying the Russian “collusion” conspiracy theory, faced scrutiny over its town hall meetings after a Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student accused the network of scripting an entire town hall after deadly the shooting at the school on Feb. 14, 2018. The network denied the accusation.
Former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile admitted to leaking CNN town hall topics to then-presidential candidate Hillary R. Clinton in 2016. Brazile was rewarded for that behavior with a job at Fox News.

Is Bernie Sanders the anti-war candidate that many non-interventionists are making him out to be?
Journalists Jacob Crosse and Barry Grey presented some interesting observations about Sanders’ foreign policy views.
Sanders criticized the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Suleimani in January and also stressed his opposition to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
During the Iowa presidential debate, Sanders loudly boasted, “I not only voted against that war, I helped lead the effort against that war.”
However, Sanders changed his tune when chatting with the New York Times.
The answers the Sanders campaign gave the Times showed its flexibility when it comes to foreign policy.
In other words, the Sanders campaign signaled to the military and intelligence apparatus that Sanders won’t present a threat to their interests and may actually carry out their interventionist agenda.
One question in the survey that the Times sent the Sanders campaign stuck out above the rest.
The third survey question asked, “Would you consider military force to pre-empt an Iranian or North Korean nuclear or missile test?”
The Sanders campaign responded, “Yes.”
Based on this response, Sanders’ is signaling that he’s willing to continue Bush-era policies of “preemptive war.”
Like Obama, Sanders’ opposition to the Iraq War was a matter of politics rather than a principled opposition to regime change wars.
His campaign was also asked, “Would you consider military force for a humanitarian intervention?”
Sanders responded, “Yes.”
Some of the wars that the U.S. carried out in the name of “human rights” have been the Bosnian war and the bombing of Serbia in the 1990s along with the aerial campaign against Libya in 2011 and the Civil War launched in Syria.
All in all, Sanders’ pro-peace/non-interventionist image is at best window dressing.
Under a Sanders presidency, the interventionist status quo will likely stay in place.
