Your sick old granny didn't win there.
She did. An angry Latina intersectional socialist. And she's taking over the party.
Lots of people pooh-poohed her victory. Low turnout, Crowley didn't campaign hard, whatever. She won. It's her seat now and will be for a long, long time or until she decides to take her game to the next level and then it'll go to someone she's groomed to replace her.
The sclerotics at the top of the party, who are probably, underneath it all,as extreme as she is have hung on too long WITHOUT preparing for the future of the party, THEY have helped her immensely. She has no respect for them but she has a hell of a lot more tomorrows...
That’s exactly how it will play out. I watched her first Congressional speech this week. Her delivery was excellent, smooth, well spoken, and sounded intelligent.
What and when will be her next level? She could follow Obama with a quick stop in the Senate and then capture POTUS within ten, maybe fifteen years.
Yep. She is like a femme fetale from a noir movie. Bad news.
Needs to be squashed. And quick.
