A new political calling has already been suggested for one New York Democrat who has only been on Capitol Hill for four months.
“Mayor Ocasio-Cortez?” asks a New York Sun editorial.
The news organization has weighed out the chances that Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez could one day be elected mayor of New York City, her home town. The publication suggests that the realities of Congress may lose their appeal for the lawmaker.
“The fun Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is having could fade if — as is theoretically possible — the GOP regains the House in 2020. Then she’d be faced with the interminable drudgery of being without seniority and in a minority. One can imagine that the prospect of a mayoral race would look attractive to the young firebrand with a, we don’t mind saying, quick wit and taste for the limelight,” the editorial said.

She might have been born in NYC but her “home town” is Yorktown Heights in Westchester County. Big difference.
45,000 NYC taxpaers pay 58% on the city’s income tax revenue. If 15,000 of those people leave the city the results will be catastrophic. And that would affect thehigh end housing market causing real estate values to fall. Reducing property tax income. NYC is one really bad day on Wall Street from disaster.
But out of the house would be good. Destroy NYC is better then the country.
Or a brain.
Yes. exactly - and why it doesn't really matter which utopian Marxist @sshole the bubble-dwellers of NY City "elect as Mayor."
The comic value would be outstanding. I see no reason to go near NYC in the near future. Have a ball NYC.
I think it’s great.
Keep idiocy confined to a smaller space.
She might have been born in NYC but her “home town” is Yorktown Heights in Westchester County. Big difference.
She and her people push the “big lie”, that she’s from the streets and projects of The Bronx. Tell the lie often enough and enough peole will believe it.
She wants to create this image of herself as a street wise street smart girl, who grew up grappling with poverty in the hell holes of The Bronx. The inconvenient truth that she’s a girl from an upper middle class suburban background is ignored by her handlers.
They deserve each other!
After all, DeBlasio is a hard act to follow!

Even more stupid than mayor de blasio.
I’d love to see that.
Even taking her Bronx time she was never from the projects. She was from Parkchester Houses, owned by Met Life. Very civil service, blue collar lower middle class. Just a step below Met Life’s two Manhattan developments, Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village. She aint from the projects ever and her accent is pure suburban female rising upper terminal, ferrr shure
Love it. Do it AOC!
