> The interview was set up to make it look like he asked a tough question. The response was uncharacteristically perfect, succinct and rehearsed. <

You’re probably right. But the question was still tough enough that a stupid person could stumble, and look foolish. And Ocasio-Cortez sure did stumble around a bit. She sounds like a 6th grader.

Has anyone tried to ‘splain to that imbecile that if even if elected to United States House of Representatives in New York § District 14 she would represent only her District, and not become Ruler of the Cosmos?

OK, we implement a Carbon Tax..
Well, if we’re on 100% renewable energy where is the carbon coming from?
We have wind turbine and solar creating our electric grid. Electric autos .Where to get the carbon? Camp stoves? Exhaling?

The Seven Wonders of Socialism

1. Everybody is employed.
2. Although everybody is employed, nobody works
3. Although nobody works, everybody fulfills the plan.
4. Although everybody fulfills the plan, there are no goods.
5. Although there are no goods, everybody has everything.
6. Although everybody has everything, everybody steals.
7. Although everybody steals, nothing is ever missing.
8. Start again at number 1 and repeat

Laura Ingraham has aged pretty well. Judge Jeanine is 67, and looks pretty good. Just two, off the top of my head.

I would like to know WHO is paying for this poor immigrant from daBroncks to travel throughout the country spreading the ‘liberal Socialism message.
There was a time not all that long ago one would have chipped in too ‘help’ as her subject matter would have definitely drawn ‘normal’ people away from her & her ilk.

Not so sure today, these fools are growing in leaps and bounds so it is time to ‘crush’ the movement.

Remember ‘we’ used to scoff at all the ‘other parties’ in Presidential Elections but Ross Perot (and his GIANT SUCKING SOUND) proved one could sway an election with enough money and effort - HE got us Clinton basically because of Bush Sr and his NAFTA and immigration stance.

Recently the Libertarian candidate has knocked people out, Virginia for a good example when a Libertarian candidate backed with Texas(among others) money help get Terry McAullife to the Governors office even though the VIRGINIA LIBERTARIAN PARTY was telling all their candidate was a fraud... Then again if you don’t have the 100% backing of the MSM etal, it is very expensive to put that message off.

Also, the RNC was actively involved in ousting Cuccinelli the R as well as female Senate candidates in RI, CT & DE, and a Black female Congressional candidate in UT ALL who were replaced with WHITE MEN and not a peep from the womens groups.

Typical Demonic-rat. Never things people will change their behavior if they change the rules.

Remember when they asked the Congressional Budget Office: How much more they would bring in yearly if the tax were raised to include everything over $100,000 / year? And they came back with this astronomical number for per year surplus; only to be told: Yeah maybe the first year but after that No one would make over $100,000!

Folks....this woman is no more fit to be a congressperson then I am fit to eat Swiss cheese on the surface of the Earth’s Moon. It really is a joke when you look closely at her victory in the state of New York’s 14th Congressional District.

There are roughly 711,000 people in most USA CDs. The voter turnout in the recent Mid-Term, primary election for the 14thNYCD was the following (Final Results):
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - 15,897 votes
- Joe Crowley - 11, 761
- Total votes cast - 27,658

Registered voters in the 14thNYDC are roughly between 300,000-400,000 voters. As such the Primary voter participation was miserable...maybe ten percent at best. Thus MS, Ocasio-Cortez won her victory with about 5% of of the of the total voters registered to vote in the 14thNYCD....not a feat for the history books.

Facts, be known, The well known, Democrat liberal, 14thNYCD, Congressman, Joe Crowley, thought he was a God of some kind and was totally asleep at the wheel, and, he barely campaigned at all, as most Democrats usually do.

My point is...as absolute long shot Pubbie victory for this CD Seat is, it may be a bit worthwhile for the deadbeat Republicans in the 14thNYCD to at least look at besting the know-nothing Ms. Ocasio-Cortez in the 14thNYCD. You never know, unless you are in the game and try as hard as you can!!!

If she wants to get money from Warren Buffett, she needs to tax WEALTH, not INCOME. Maybe she needs an economist to explain the difference - a run-of-the-mill economist, not a clueless nobel prize winner.

Warren Buffett manages to pay less taxes than his secretary because he has no income. He doesn’t pay himself enough to make a dent in tax revenue. He doesn’t sell his assets so doesn’t pay capital gains tax. He keeps assets and uses them to buy his next asset and fund his lifestyle.

There isn’t a billionaire alive who would let the Dems take much of their income and if she starts taking wealth there won’t be many billionaires left in the country for long. And taxing millionaires won’t give her nearly the amount of money she needs. What she really wants (needs) is to tax EVERYONE 60+%.

LOL. The person I really feel bad for is David Hogg, the current Ruler of the Cosmos. I’m sure he was expecting a longer time in the job.

I would love to be a fly on the wall when she has her first meeting with the Democratic establishment up on the hill (Nancy, Alcee Hastings et al...). It will probably go something like this:

Look sweetheart, none of this bull$h%$$ you’re spouting really works. We spout it also, just to get elected. It’s called Santa Clause politics. However, you’re here now so if you’re going to graduate to the grownups table, you can still say all that crap, just remember it’s not true. Just say it to get elected. And never, ever actually debate someone on the other side of the aisle. You’re too stupid to come up with good bull$%#$% responses to them. Just stay on Comedy Central, MSNBC and CNN. They’ll treat you with kid gloves....
