I keep telling people they’re tribalists. Unless you live around it you don’t get it. I live in California and absolutely refuse to vote for anyone with a Latino last name because of it. Their tribe always comes first. Legal, illegal they don’t care. They come first.

Re: Ballot of General election for U.S. House New York District 14 Candidates:

Joseph Crowley

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D)

Anthony Pappas (R)

Elizabeth Perr

While having this walking-talking disaster of a diverse bimbo in Congress will keep money flowing into GOP coffers, I have a hunch that Crowley will beat her as even the DemocRAT majority in his district are not totally insane enough to want her representing them--

I cannot believe how dopey this idiot is, spewing analogies of history and economics that we all can see are non educated comments.

If this doesn’t work out, she can always go back to bartending.

Or something that pays MUCH more.

No, no he can't. Crowley will not win and neither will the zero-name recognition Republican running against her. Neither men are engaging in any active campaigning and Crowley's name remains on the ticket only because the hoops he has to jump through to remove himself from the ballot aren't worth the effort.

AOC will be elected. You can be 100 percent certain of this.

If we have to give the Dems something on November 6th, then Occasional Cortex is their consolation prize.

And this is really what the Dems seek — a cute guy or gal who speaks stridently, but makes no sense.

That's my sense as well.

But if we can hold by House by 5 to 10 seats, and the Democrats can get this wack job in office, then the media will have it's after election "feel good" story. They can stroke themselves with that for 2 weeks. Fine with me.

Meanwhile, after the elections (and if we hold both chambers) I suspect President Trump is going to start dropping MOABs on the Deep State.

IF this ‘person’ is the Democrat version of a ‘rock star’, their standards have certainly sunk very low since Truman was in office.

Why settle for just another congressional district seat in 2020. After a year on msnbc, she’ll have the credentials To run against Trump in 2020!

The odds are slim for a Crowley win.

“How can someone so dumb be a political rockstar? Geez, people are idiots!”

Your second statement has your answer. We have a culture of celebrity in this country. The media can make almost anyone they choose into a “rock star”.

True but remember, only 16000 or so uninformed legacy votes got her to stage 2. It was the media that crowned her as the superstar surfer riding the blue wave in.

Her Crazy Eyes have always dominated the picture but I just noticed she has some serious Bucky the Beaver teeth.
I’ll bet she could fell a decent size poplar or birch in no time.

Her problem might be that if she gives it away, she couldn’t eat
