Full title: As upstart Ocasio-Cortez hits campaign trail with Bernie Sanders, high profile spurs fears of Dem rift
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is hitting the national campaign trail this week with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to stump for other left-wing candidates, even as the upstart 28-year-old democratic socialist's rising profile continues to rankle top Democrats.
Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are expected to campaign on July 20 for two congressional candidates seeking to unseat Republican incumbents in Kansas: James Thompson in Wichita, and former Sanders delegate Brent Welder in the suburbs of Kansas City.
But Ocasio-Cortez is also set to support several progressives seeking to supplant Democratic incumbents elsewhere -- alarming Democratic leaders and pundits who worry that her rising national profile and far-left politics might fracture the party ahead of critical midterm elections.

Actually, I think she is very attractive.
But hardly anyone is going to pull the lever for someone that looks and acts so young. She screams of being inexperienced, idealistic and naive.
Even the Democrats aren’t ready tor that.
How can the Democrats continue to raise hundreds of millions of campaign dollars from Wall Street bankers when the leading young light of the Democratic party is a Socialist who wants the government to take over the banks and throw the bankers out into the streets?

Didn’t the FBI used to arrest Communists?
Color me confused.
Can’t Trump direct the FBI to arrest Communists anymore?
She is antisemitic.
She will be destroyed by the CPUSA.
Nobody in her district has ever heard of CPUSA. Nobody give a s**t about them. They have no influence, no power. Anti-semitism won't hurt her among Latino New York City Democrat Socialists. They hate Jews and want to take their money.
Don't they make a cute couple?
I'm thinking a 3rd party ticket right there.
True, but the “Victory” has the WASHINGTONIANS of all stripes concerned.
Sanders was old commie, this idiot is new commie, and WILL DEFINE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY in 2020.
That’s what LMG’s are for.
Democrats are heading for the tall grass.
Yep. Leading the way, Ocasio-Cortez will mold the Democratic party into one primarily defined by Latino Socialism. The old plantation Congressional Black Caucus members are going to wake up one morning to discover all those new Latino voters they imported want their own representatives. You've already got Alcee Hastings nervously imploring Ocasio to "Stay in her lane!"
It's going to be awesome watching the Democratic party splinter!
These clueless Millennials would follow Bernie if he went 3rd party.

Yeah, the CORRUPT AND IMPEACHED Federal Judge, one of only a handful in US history , is busy telling Miss Trotsky Jr. to calm down.
LOL
From ANNIE HALL (1977)
Alvy Singer: You, you, you're like New York, Jewish, left-wing, liberal, intellectual, Central Park West, Brandeis University, the socialist summer camps and the, the father with the Ben Shahn drawings, right, and the really, y'know, strike-oriented kind of, red diaper, stop me before I make a complete imbecile of myself.
Allison: No, that was wonderful. I love being reduced to a cultural stereotype.
Alvy Singer: Right, I'm a bigot, I know, but for the left.
It is not illegal to be a Communist, which is why there are no arrests. The law was changed decades ago.
She will represent the Democrat Party far more vividly than Twice-Her-Age, whom she defeated by 15 points, despite being outspent ten to one.
The joke will be upon the Democrats. NY-14 will go 'Rat no matter what. But its voters will do far more damage to the party with Alexandria representing them than with sleepy ten-term Joe Crowley. She will help inspire fly-over country to reject New Yawk values!
No the Democratic Socialists of America and their Progressive Caucus are full on Communists.
Their website used to have a page entitled “karl Marx the man with a plan” where the extolled communist propaganda. Don’t give these people a pass from what they really are...Capitol C Communists.
Mote Bernie Sanders is the only Senator with membership in the Progressive Caucus. Commies always hang together....
Oh yeah. Baby got them crazy eyes.
