You folks are under-estimating Ocasio-Cortez.
She understands like Bernie did that there is no reason to temper the magnitude of lies she tells. Promise them anything and when you can’t deliver blame someone else.
You folks are under-estimating Ocasio-Cortez.
No we are not.
In the end she will become a Hispanic Maxine Waters being used by the rich white men that run the Democrat party, or they will simply cut all support for her and she loses in the next election.
She will have the MSM on her side too.
Na ncy Pelosi will dampen her attitudunal enthusiasm
She's the face of the modern Democratic Party and she's going to drive the party to the far left, where no apologies will be made about being a socialist.
She mostly threatens Nancy Pelosi and the big moneyed white wing of Democrats who have careers in academia and entertainment and summer homes in the Hamptons. Notice how dismissive Pelosi was of Cortez's victory.
Both parties are changing. On the Republican side, we have Trump's MAGA populism leading the way while the Democrats have Bernie Sanders' socialism pulling it unapologetically leftward.
It's an exciting time to be alive!
But you are correct. Nobody here should underestimate Ocasio-Cortez. There will be many more like her. Too many here think this is the same country that elected Reagan in the 80s. It's not.
Not really. She is a light weight.
She will win this election, but will get pushed aside by one of the old guard in 2020. There is too much government money to be stolen to let a young, inexperienced air-head stay there for too long.
She graduated from Boston University, but could only land a job as a bartender/waitress. Companies are tripping over themselves to fill diversity slots...and she couldn't land one. That says a lot!
P.S. - She looks like Huma Weiner, without the long face.
Possibly. She may turn out to be a bigger crackpot than I think she is.
I agree about under estimating. She is photo-genic and that seems to be 90% what gets democrat voter support.
Most obvious case is Obama, first “black president”. What’s he accomplished in his prior life? Oh, he was a community agitator. Not much else. Even won a Nobel Peace prize for doing nothing.
