Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is eyeing a new member of House Democratic leadership as a 2020 primary target: Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).

I don’t know why she’s popping off. I thought she said she was going to take a little me time before joininng the Congress.
You're bringing back memories of Philadelphia in the early 1980s, and a certain local media figure.
That made me laugh, even tho I had to visualize it happening.

Two protected species!! Lol
I’m the left corner, we have a Puerto Rican Marxist who had recently discovered that she has a hidden Jewish ancestry.

Popcorn for sale....popcorn for sale...Get your popcorn to watch the Dems...
Jerry Penacoli?
After reading some US political history from the 1840-80 period one can see that it takes a silver bullet, a stake through the heart, burning at the stake and dismemberment to kill the Demon party. And that might not be enough.
