Who ARE These People? First Impressions of the LARGE Democratic Field: Part 5 Cory Booker and Andrew Yang

Celebrity vs. the unknown candidate.
We, the mass audience, conjure up big names. We create big names out of people in pseudo-events. In this episode I take a look at celebrity and how Trump got into office.
Then I examine Senator Cory Booker, who interacts with the celebrity crowd quite often, and unknown businessman, Andrew Yang.  Yang is unique. His policies are unique.
Booker is a career politician. In fact, I have no idea what Booker stands for other than he tweets a lot about policy, yet has no platform statement on his web site. I was disappointed to say the least. 
Trademark vs. Unique. Which one would you consider?

 

I am a professor, pretend political pundit, media critic, and the author of the upcoming book: Political Rhetoric, Social Media, and American Presidential Campaigns: Candidates' Use of New Media. (December 2020 Lexington Books) Critiquing and monitoring social media/media in the political process is what I do. I live for American Presidential Campaigns.
