A former television news anchor. A retired New York City police officer and high school civics teacher. An attorney who runs a mediation practice and serves as a volunteer minister.
These are just a few of the candidates -- Democrats and Republicans -- who have lined up to challenge three of the most high-profile freshman House Democrats: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
It's not easy to unseat a sitting member of Congress, and the three members of the progressive "squad" have a number of built-in advantages as they run for reelection.
**SNIP**
But they have become high-profile targets of criticism during their relatively short time in office so far.
All three have faced controversy over outside-the-mainstream political positions, frequently facing attacks from President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans.

I like how it says they have “faced controversy”. As if it came after them, not that they were trash talking bitches.
Tlaib represents a Michigan area that is well known for ‘choosing poorly’ - they elected John Conyers for over half a century. The election to replace Conyers after his death late in the term, had two parts. One was to fill the remaining time of his current term, the other to fill the next term. In their infinite wisdom, his voters of his district chose two different people for this seat. Tlaib won the Grand Prize, the full two year next term.
Considering the renowned wisdom of her voters, and the general situation that ANY publicity is good publicity, it will be quite difficult to oust her.
The opponents had better pick the strongest among them and work together to defeat the incumbents. Their mere numbers will defeat them if they do not focus the opposition to AOC, Tlaib and Omar the Brotherlover.
New York state and New York City are dying economically across the board, thanks to Governor, Andrew Cuomo, NYC Mayor, Bill De Blasio, AOC, Jerrold Nadler and all the failed, useless Democrats that you foolish New York voters vote to continue casting your votes for. Well ya all got a 2020 Democrat Party POTUS Primary Election Tomorrow
The New York City Subway System is a homeless cesspool of danger,Radio City Music Hall is dead, Broadway Shows are dead, Hotels are empty, there are few customers for MidTown Manhattan restaurants, Little Italy is dying, Chinatown is dying and on & on. Wise up NY Democrat Party fools. Dump AOC, Nadler and other and either do not vote for Joe Biden or Write-in POTUS, Doand J. Trumps name!!! Otherwise, you can kiss the once great NYC goodbye, forever!!!
No matter, the New Yorkers will always think that they are successes in every way.
Guess maybe they can be successes in their own minds, but failures in reality & we will just wait & wait & see how that works out in the long run....not that we don’t already know.
“Crowded field” = “a tactic to secure re-election by splintering your opposition”.
New York State and especially New York City is bleeding....bleeding badly with the loss of high end taxpayers,. thanks to failed and useless, Governor, Andrew Cuomo & NYC Mayor, Bill De Blasio. So is New Jersey, so is Connecticut, so is Pennsylvania. Same story!!!
The Democrat voters in New York better wise up and get with reality...read my lips “There is no such thing as a free lunch...period”!!! They have a chance to dump some of their loser politicians tomorrow....let us see what they do!!!
