The strategy is to attack from the left for two target audiences: white millennials and black millennials/gen-xers. With Hillary, she was attacked as both a "corporate whore" and the single person responsible for mass incarceration--a very emotional topic. With Corey, they'll use the same tactic as what has been used against Pres. Obama--the Wall Street sellout who has done nothing to help the black community.

I've never watched Benjamin Dixon before, but my theory is that people like him (vloggers/bloggers) are flooded with "fake news" that then prompts them to make videos like that. Then trolls pile on in the comments and then regular people are swept in to the disinformation as well. It gets spread further on social media and before long, the negative opinion gets set in stone.

The only good thing about that - and I mean the ONLY good thing is that they (both Right and Left attackers) are conceding they can't win the House in 2018.


The person or group that created that to take a pot shot at Booker is/are a Piece of shit.
