Three challengers will split the vote with AOC getting the plurality.

Two of them should step down and endorse the remaining.

Still, they’re all Leftwing fanatics... Does it even matter?

“Reading some of the comments in the article, it does not surprise me that AOC has very well likely been that serious disappointment to these people.”

She didn’t bring home enough free sh*t.

It doesn’t matter, that’s why I prefer her.
She helps our side by being a braying jackass.

She won’t lose. Her district loved it when she cost them thousands of Amazon jobs. They’re idiots and will elect her again.

She could be playing that ole political game many other Reps and Senators have — have several primary contenders to dilute the opposition, while they depend on name recognition to give them the win.

AOC makes a decent living as a Congresscritter. If she loses she will become rich beyond her wildest dreams as a professional complainer, a female Al Sharpton.

She will make mega bucks with her foolishness on CNN and MSNBC if she leaves Congress.

Ocasio Cortez represents a hip totalitarianism. Anything to get rid of her. Caruso-Cabrera is a standard issue liberal, but getting back to old fashioned democrat graft would be a sorely welcome turn away from ideological insanity. Probably won’t happen.

Too many challengers who will split the vote.

The New York Times’ Nobel Prize economist is getting a little long in the tooth...

Yea, the three challengers would have been smart to decide which one to get behind and flood the district. Instead, it will be greatly diluted and she wins handily.

That happened in my town. The mayor election is an open election. There were four candidates, three democrats including the incumbent and one Republican.

The Republican won but around 25 votes because the democrats diluted the vote.

He’s the best mayor the town has ever had. He won reelection by over 1000 votes.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that she went from bartender to the U. S. Congress. That is the way our founding fathers intended it. Citizen to legislator then quickly back to citizen. Thus two year terms in the house. The problem is the direction she went after she got elected. At least with her we had one less lawyer in congress.

BASIC BAR OPERATIONS
Waiter greets customer
Customer places order with waiter
Waiter submits order to bartender
Bartender prepares products and billing
Waiter delivers products and bill to customer
Customer submits payment to waiter
Waiter delivers payment to bartender
Bartender closes transaction

Basic position descriptions:
Waiter- Positive people skills.
Bartender- Professional, organized, smart in math and
chemistry.

I became a world traveler by making a lot of wrong turns and winding up in bars. That is my qualification to judge AOC. She is too dumb to be a bartender. I guess she is fully qualified to be a dumbocratic politician

I guess that was the thinking until Donald the Magnificent, with no organization, trounced more than a dozen Republican candidates; now it is COMMUNICATION.

Local primaries are a different animal.

The turnout is usually very low, often only 15% to 20% of registered voters.

That means a well organized campaign can easily defeat a more popular candidate with a mediocre organization.

If she loses, MSNBC will probably hire her.
