Opinion: Here's what sets these Democratic candidates apart
Sen. Cory Booker in Washington on Tuesday. Booker joined other presidential candidates to speak at the We The People Summit. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 3 at 10:15 AM If you watch enough of their town halls, interviews and speeches you realize that, with the exception of Sen. Bernie Sanders , the rest of the Democratic presidential candidates sound very similar on a whole host of issues.
So, aside from Sanders, where’s the big ideological struggle between the far left and center-left? So far, I’m not seeing much sign of it. A field that “looks like America” is a trite phrase, but these candidates really do represent a dizzying array of life experiences, backgrounds and geographic bases . They may have similar ideas, but no two have the same backstory.
