Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has undoubtedly been a star this election cycle. Now, she can officially start packing her bags for Washington.
The 29-year-old ascended to national prominence -- with appearances on the likes of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" -- with the assumption she would be headed to Congress in a reliably blue district.

YES! Pubbies, nominate her for speaker and vote for her en masse. It would be the best thing to happen since Trump’s election!

And who said the Soviets lost the Cold War ? Sure, we beat them in 1990, and 2 decades later, they beat us.

She is also the dumbest member of Congress which is quite an accomplishment considering the competition.
