She was passionate. She was angry. She was borderline psychotic and clearly in need of medication.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delivered a bizarre and completely unhinged speech at Monday night's Green New Deal event hosted by the Sunrise Movement.
Alternating between screaming at those in attendance and REALLY screaming at those in attendance, the freshman congresswoman eviscerated eardrums as she touted the need to "decarbonize the economy" and for American workers to get paid as much as "they need." Asked to clarify what that amount might be, Ocasio-Cortez responded, "a living wage," then failed to specify what constitutes "a living wage."

Hardly!....Good grief!
They can’t ask her to be their VP, she does not meet the age requirement to be President. Since the VP just might have to assume the Presidency, they too must meet the 35 age requirement.
.......”she is probably the only politician with anywhere near the natural charisma and persuasive appeal that President Trump has”.....
Not even close!
......”She will continue to make a fool of herself”....
Yes and not care that she does.....all the way to the bank.
I have to say that I have not listened to ANY liberal politician since I started muting the Clintoon in the early 90's and have not stopped since. Refuse to listen to any of them, left or right.
Disclaimer: I do not even watch any TV other than movies and races, so what I wrote do not mean squat. The NFL cured me of that.
I would be an intellectual hermit without the internet.
The scary thing is she would be leading the 2020 clown car if she were running.
“she is probably the only politician with anywhere near the natural charisma and persuasive appeal that President Trump has”
If it was’t for conservatives laughing at her, she’d be ignored in 90% of the counties of the USA. Her helium voice and wild statements won’t sell.
Actually, she’s turning into a pretty good speaker when someone else writes the talking points. I don’t think she sounded unhinged at all. Her ideas are loony toons. But her delivery is not.
She has -13 favorability even in New York state. She is popular only in a very narrow segment, but her supporters are very loud.
Can’t take it. Surely she will crash and burn. She takes herself way to serious. Reminds me of a female version of Jim Jones. Wish she would take all of her followers to Guyana and have a spot of koolaid.
She's basically just a paid spokeswoman for a cabal of successful, in this case, lefty scammers. It may be sincere in that she's a lefty herself, but she is not a source or the source of ideas.
She's an actress playing a part, reading a script. She auditioned for the job with Bernie's campaign. There's no human behind these words, there's just an organization, and you can tell they've been training her to be a more polished speaker, more able to stumble through answering actual questions with a semi improvised answer.
I'm not saying long term she'll be effective for them or ineffective. Just ... realize there is no such thing as AOC. There is a dopey chick with the right skin color, a fake history in the Bronx but close enough for the lefty media to protect the lie, who some find attractive and/or charismatic, spewing lines market tested with the Low Information types by the people who are essentially her bosses, and she was hired to play the part. She may go far, she may not, but for her, it's the same as an actress going to CA looking to find a role. She found a good one, if you can call it 'good.'
She's not crazy (because she doesn't come up with what she says, they are not her ideas) she's just not that smart, but she's not dumb, she's becoming a better actress. She's basically a star in a commercial for a new cereal that's the same as the old cereal, but with brighter color charms and even less nutrition.
The guys who manufacture the cereal are half smelly socialist recluses and half just political capitalists (i.e. fake socialists looking to make money/power off the schtick) who can't be front men for their cereal because they have no charisma, so they hired her.
If she's really successful, it will be fun to watch when she realizes she has more power than her bosses.
Unfortunately that is the level at which many of our imbecile millennials are fixated.
Everyone should try to believe in global warming and the need for decarbonization before they watch this.
The real election for her was the Democratic primary in NY-14 and her opponent didn’t bother to campaign (because Democratic party is not an organized political movement). Pelosi was right when she said a glass of water with (D) next to it would win that district.
