but only 13% voted so being Hispanic means nothing in this one
This is just the primary, right?
Yep, they couldn’t resist the power of her name, which she’ll play to the hilt.
Many who voted for her probably didn’t even know she was socialist, but it didn’t matter anyway, it was vote for her or Evil White Man.
She’s going to do absolutely nothing but line her pockets but I guess the NYC voters need 20 billion examples of that before they wake up.
Some Hispanics in the Bronx stuck with Crowley, the old White guy, while Ocasio-Cortez did very well among upscale gentrifying White liberals in Queens.
“Larry Sabato got it wrong, too.”
Sabato is wrong every time he opens his liberal mouth.
She no doubt is also a wise Latina. I am told they are in high demand nowadays.
I suspect that there was something else going on that resulted in her winning. Didn’t I read the other day that polling done a scant a week or two ahead of the election had Crowley well out in front?
The Spanish speaking people colonizing our country want their own representatives.
The Democrat party will be surprised when they are displaced by the La Raza party.
Democrats have convinced themselves that they’ll be able to control Hispanics as a voting block by giving them amnesty - then keeping them by promising them stuff.
It doesn’t look like they’ll fall in line and vote for the dems ‘carrot on a stick’ routine.
She is also pretty, well-spoken, tech and media-savvy...and stirs cocktails for a living. She knows how to work people at the bar to get tips. Her views are wholly misguided but let’s not pretend she’s not gifted...instead of desperately trying to catch her in a scandal, better to engage with her on her socialism and have her debate a formidable conservative peer on the issues. Charlie Kirk has invited her to debate for example.
And conservatives have nothing to gain by joining the Dems in the endless trap/cycle of demographic identity politics. Then you are playing the game on their terms. Is that all conservativism means to you?
Well, we also need to be wise and get Conservative, appealing candidates into the mix. Dah.
Presuming all of the votes were legit, she won because she got more people to vote than Cromley. The challenge is that she got a very small fraction of the district’s votes. My question is whether there is a credible Republican running against her that will go toe-to-toe and challenge her socialist views? Focus on that and ignore race, gender, lies about family upbringing, etc. She’s a 28 year old bar tender with very anti-American socialist views. I seriously doubt that the residents of that district agree with them.
