CNN's Cillizza Worried that Ocasio-Cortez Could Harm Democrats

Thanks to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she's now taken a far left fringe issue like Abolish ICE and bringing it to the fore and causing quite the sense of trouble in paradise for the left heading into November.

It is for this reason and others that poor Chris Cillizza is in the process of vigorously rubbing his worry beads over the effect the Democrat congressional nominee will have on the political fortunes of other Democrats. One odd thing about Cillizza's July 18 article at CNN is that not once is the S-word mentioned despite the fact that Ocasio-Cortez loudly identifies herself as a Democratic SOCIALIST. 

Nervous Cillizza expresses his extreme worry about the disastrous effect that Ocasio-Cortez could have on his beloved Democrats in “Democrats should maybe slow their roll on pushing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as their next big star”:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez needs to be featured in a lot of campaign ads, especially her call to Abolish ICE.

[dfwgator]

Heck I might even donate to her campaign.

She’s the gift that will keep on giving.

[MUDDOG]

She has an awful voice, too. Just that would drive people crazy.

[butlerweave]

Will CNN put a Hit on her ?

[Rurudyne]

Someone who openly proclaims who the DNC has become? Why, how could that ever hurt them? /s

[Libloather]

Wasn’t Cortez announced as the new face of the RATS?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

But wait a minute. Sanders said that socialism is popular in the heartland and such. If socialism is a winner, why won’t they let her speak about it?

[Blue Highway]

I thought CNN hosts proudly proclaim to be unbiased. Are they now openly admitting they are Democrats/liberals? The idea the guy is “wprried” says he has a vested interest in the democrat party.

[shelterguy]

Fox should interview her everyday. Trump should talk about her all the time. Get the crazy broad all the exposure she wants.

[M Kehoe]

Has she been sworn in?

Chillizza Worried that Ocasio-Cortez Could Harm Democrats

I'm not. I know she is.

Could throw a couple duckets her way, sure.

[rightwingcrazy]

Why are they worrying about this? Shouldn’t they be putting all their energy into convincing us dimwitted Trump supporters of his treacherous treason? They have incontrovertible proof, after all, or so they say.

I’m all ears.

First rule of Socialist Club: Never talk about Socialist Club.........

But for real, the Democrats believe in EVERYTHING she believes, they are simply smart enough to know they have to LIE in order to maintain any semblence of power.....

[joshua c]

She is the fresh face and fresh voice they need instead of those stale old white guys and one well preserved woman.

Would I steer you wrong?

[elcid1970]

If Chrissie SizzleLean is worried, that’s good.

[Bullish]

The dumb-bell fits in so well.

[joshua c]

quick change the age requirements so she can run in 2020

[BlueLancer]

Has she been sworn in?

She won the Democrat primary in her district. She still has to face the Republican candidate in November.

[dead]

I like her! She's hot and she's torpedoing any hope the Dems have of pretending to be centrist. They are all far lefty loons and she highlights it for us. And did I mention, she's pretty hot.

And she lies too, about her phony "Jenny from the Bronx" background. She grew up rich, hot and monstrously priviledged. It's all good. Crazy hot liar, like every girl I dated in college! It's my type.

[BlueLancer]

I guess this last weekend, during an interview, she was reported as saying that, of course, unemployment was down in the country because "a lot of people were working two or more jobs".

Ahhh, the gift that keeps on giving ...
