You wouldn’t know it from looking at the news coverage but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez actually has a Republican opponent in the race taking place in the 14th congressional district of New York. Anthony Pappas is a professor of economics who got his Ph.D. in economics from Yale and who teaches at St. John’s University.
Pappas recently announced on his campaign website that he has accepted an invitation to debate Ocasio-Cortez (h/t DailyWire). “On Thursday, September 21, 2018, our campaign manager was contacted by QueensLatino news publisher, Javier Castano, to confirm a debate between the two major party candidates in New York’s 14th congressional district,” the site states. “We were assured that Ocasio-Cortez had already accepted his invitation, and we quickly agreed,” it continues. The date hasn’t been set yet but a high school auditorium has been chosen as the site.

I don’t know about you, but I’m really looking forward to seeing Ocasio-Cortez debate an actual economist. Given how poorly she’s done answering questions from talk-show hosts and journalists, I don’t think she stands a chance. Of course, there’s no reason to think it will matter come November. If people in the district cared about economic reality, they wouldn’t be voting for a 28-year-old Democratic Socialist in the first place.

She will shout the Professor down and debate nothing
This has to be fake news. She can’t be THAT stupid.
Oooh....I’d love to see this debate, in person!!
Please keep me pinged, y’all, to the exact date.
TIA.
Now THIS is something that will get me to pull that Jiffy Pop out of the cupboard.
Oh, this is going to be a public beat down. She’s been terrible in debate so far, and now taking on a Economics professor.
LOLOLOL! Occasional-Cortex is going to get owned.
There is not enough in her head to support any sort of debate. Shouting and sticking your tongue out is not “debate.”
She’ll clean his clock, no doubt, with her brilliance. Or not.
I’m shocked, the idiot candidate has finally woke up, realized he’s running, or was shamed into doing something. What a winnable seat if someone actually wanted to win.
After recording this event, why not put it up on YouTube, Bitchute and other places that can make it go viral?
Think of the “memes” (political cartoons and posters) that could be made of it with that hoss-face skinny chick!!
Yes, I said hoss-face!!
By the way, how is Cortez paying the bills? She’s not rich, is an unemployed bartender that has been pictured in multi-thousand dollar outfits. If I recall correctly, she can’t pay herself a salary from campaign funds.
“She can’t be THAT stupid.”
Yes, she can, just watch her.
I doubt she's match him on points but I do suspect that she'll clean his clock on presentation. Maybe we'll be surprised but I suspect that guy is going to be clueless deer-in-headlights candidate. From what I've read, he was never serious about running, likely doesn't want to win anyway.
In order to avoid looking stupid, she’ll have to learn a few words of more than one syllable.
You are most likely correct. She has handlers and coaches to aid her in her attempts at brilliance. Probably has an ear bud in to be fed smart sounding answers.
I’d love to see her debate Dr. Jordan Peterson.
She’s likely to pack the audience with shills as well.
She’ll eschew all facts, roll her eyes, make guffaws noises, act smug, toss out some snarky half-jokes, throw in some insults, call him a racist and the NY Times will declare her the official winner.
