Top donors to President Trump are also pumping thousands of dollars into the campaign kitty of the Democratic primary rival to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, campaign records show.

Broadcaster Stanley Hubbard, who contributed $175,000 to the pro-Trump Great America PAC, contributed the maximum $5,600 to Caruso-Cabrera, according to opensecrets.org and filings with the Federal Elections Commission.

“Cowboy venture capitalist” Darren Blanton, who has given $41,000 to pro-Trump campaign entities, also donated $5,600 to Caruso-Cabrera.

Flushing money down a hole here. AOC is extremely popular in her district, hoping she gets ousted is like the Dems tossing money at whoever it is that’s challenging McConnell.

she’s causing friction in the democrat party and giving Nancy Pelosi heartburn; it’s arguably in our interest that she stay.

I don’t know if it will do much good as the rumor is AOC organized illegals to vote for her. NY has the ridiculous law that the only requirement to register to vote is proof of address like a phone bill. Citizenship? Legal status? Oh who cares about that. I heard AOC now wants to get rid of the police and I would assume DuhBlasio does as well, so unless the residents of NYC want to be bowing to drug gangs for protection, I would suggest they stand guard at their local polling place and turn away anyone who shouldn’t be voting.

I WANT her to win. She is as intelligent fully comprehensible as Biden. Why would actual republicans want her to lose?

It's also arguable the money coming into her opponent is not necessarily from Trump supporters.

Not sure where you getting your info from.
Most Biden supporters are not AOC fans. AOC has been trashing Biden from the get go. She was behind Bernie 101%.

Did you read the article?
They gave plenty of examples of big Trump donors making maximum contributions to AOC’S opponent.

The Communist Party has absorbed the Democrat Party, and AOC is its poster child. No Republican is going to win the district, so leave in place the most radical, ignorant, and arrogant creature as an object of derision.

This is for the primary - not the general election.

On Facebook yesterday I was surprised to get an ad from AOC. When I looked for the reason I received the ad, it said AOC was looking for people interested in Karl Marx. That figures she would look for that type.

(Facebook’s algorithm didn’t notice that I’m against Marxism, not for it!)

Because every demonRAT vote in the house is one more against sanity.

I want the number to be 435 to 0.

Maybe, just maybe, the house members would then grow some balls.

I agree with you that NO dem should be elected. Though the choice is between dumb or really freaking stupid. Who do you choose?
