You wouldnt 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. Johns 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 Yorks 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 hasnt been set yet but a high school auditorium has been chosen as the site.

I dont know about you, but Im really looking forward to seeing Ocasio-Cortez debate an actual economist. Given how poorly shes done answering questions from talk-show hosts and journalists, I dont think she stands a chance. Of course, theres no reason to think it will matter come November. If people in the district cared about economic reality, they wouldnt be voting for a 28-year-old Democratic Socialist in the first place.

She should read Friedman’s “Capitalism & Freedom” to prepare
Crazy eyes and big teeth even before her inane defending of Socialism.
Most likely or not ....
We were needing some comic relief.
At 88 years of age Thomas Sowell would still run rings around her.
I forget the name of the condition/syndrome, but I read about it here on FR. It’s where the less you know, the smarter you thing you are, while those that are actually smart acknowledge that they don’t know it all.
Ms. Ocasio falls into the first group.
thing = think
This is simply wrong! How can anyone debate her on anything? That is the same as doing battle with an unarmed person. She is a witless former bartender.
Dunning-Kruger effect.
The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know. I would post the graph but FR makes that difficult.
Funny what I read, “the first rule of the Dunning Kruger club is you don’t know you are in the Dunning Kruger club”.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will say socialism is not a scam while wearing a $3,200 dress.... as she has been pictured in before.
Thank you sir! I knew someone on this board would be able to provide the background my comment needed. I appreciate the assist.
Any time!
And it is very applicable to Cortez.
She, like most liberals who I think are intellectually lazy, is not nearly as smart as she thinks.
Also easier to use ad-hom attacks as a liberal.
Much easier to surrender to the politics of peer pressure which plays to the insecure high school and college student.
