You need gravitas to make the Trump playbook work. She’ll never have that.
Except one ran a multi billion dollar business with thousands of employees and one was a part time bartender before taking office...
She’s a literal Stalinist.
Trump is the peace and freedom President. She is the candidate of hatred, oppression and Gulags !
Maybe. I have my doubts that she is that deliberate about what she is doing.
But the author is correct that this is a new model in politics.
I don't think it works for AOC all that well, because she is in a safe district.
I do not see her as a serious national candidate.. but Idiocracy was not supposed to be a documentary.
This level of twitter followers allows national figures to avoid being controlled by the Media.
And that is a good thing.
Her knickname: Missy Bigmouth...
The proper response to her isn’t to give her the satisfaction of angrily railing about her, the way victims of TDS do, but just to point out the hilarious ignorance of her statements and laugh.
Her entire story - boneheaded but attractive radical leftist coffee shop waitress accidentally gets elected to Congress though a fluke (responsible adults assumed the 10-term incumbent was a shoo-in and didn’t bother to vote in the primary) — isn’t an inspiring story of a new political dynasty, it’s a comedy movie premise someone would’ve pitched to a young Sandra Bullock.
An empty headed fake waitress who steals from the tip jar, a perfect move into politics
she’s playing everyone. Was it yesterday that she walked out of the (House) new member orientation to hold her own little protest that labor unions wern ‘t involved in government?
Wait til they chain her to a phone and tell her to start dialing for dollars - those should be a pretty good tantrum to watch
It’s been observed that Occasional Cortex has the IQ of a salamander.
Dunno who I have a lower opinion of- “Sandy” Ocasio-Cortez or Jonah Goldberg.
Well probably Jonah.
As she would undoubtedly say, “Isn’t this taken out of Cortext?”
He just can't help himself in his criticism of Trump. He has no idea why Trump won, yet he's wedded to hating him, and blaming him for almost anything. The idea that she is "stealing" from Trump's "playbook" is mental masturbation on a grand scale. From the article:
Trump prefers positive attention, but he'll take negative attention over no attention every time, in part because he knows his supporters will intensify their dedication to him in response to allegedly unfair attacks. AOC is doing the same thing. By forcing partisans to take sides, she generates controversy. Controversy attracts media attention. Media attention generates even more controversy. And so on. As with Trump, sometimes she clearly knows what she's doing, and other times she simply displays her ignorance.
JG is fixated on hating Trump, and may never outgrow this inane stage in his life. He'll never see why we think so little of his commentary after his insane behavior. He, like so many of the "conservative" pundits, was always a bit of a fraud.
In the liberal hive, there can only be ONE queen...
