esponding to fresh criticism from President Donald Trump Tuesday evening that her Green New Deal climate change proposal was “ done by a young bartender,” Democrat Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez told Newsweek Wednesday that the “last guy who underestimated me lost.”
“That’s all I gotta say about that,” she added.
In an unexpected upset, the freshman New York congresswoman and former bartender unseated incumbent Democratic Congressman Joseph Crowley in her 2018 primary election.
Ocasio-Cortez has faced continued criticism from Republicans and the president for her ambitious climate change proposal, which seeks to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and for the U.S. to operate on 100 percent renewable energy by 2030—a feat critics say is unrealistic, in addition to overly expensive.
“A young bartender, wonderful young woman, the Green New Deal. The first time I heard it, I said, ‘That's the craziest thing,’” Trump said Tuesday evening at a fundraising dinner for the National Republican Congressional Committee.
But he told Republicans not to kill the proposal just yet.
“Don't kill it because we want to be able to run against it,” the president said. “If they beat me with the Green New Deal, I deserve to lose.”
In a Senate vote last week, which Democrats classified as political showboating by Republicans while the GOP said it gave Democrats the opportunity to express their support on the record, the Green New Deal failed to advance. In protest to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell putting the non-binding resolution up for a vote before having hearings or debates, Democrats voted "present" with Republicans voting against it. The final vote was 0-57.
Despite House Democratic leadership showing little willingness to consider the Green New Deal as a whole, Ocasio-Cortez told Newsweek that was not the point of the proposal.

Occasional Cortex got a total of 14,000 votes in an election with 8 percent turnout.
But let her fantasize within her bipolar manic delusions of greatness.
Every time she opens her donkey-teeth mouth, rivers of stupidity come flowing out. It’s all good for us.
LOL. Thanks!

Hillary underestimated Trump and lost. lol
Hillary underestimated and dissed the American people.
That’s what my grandfather called them. When they weren’t in the grazing fields, they were in pens, and they were fed via a trough. It was either bailed alfalfa hay or chopped alfalfa silage, and when we were getting close to butchering, some grain added in the mix.
Not sure why anyone jumped on that comment.
I guess I’m not a farmer. My grandparents were, however. That must make me an expert.
Damn I forgot what they did in winter! Probably taken away and made into hamburgers or something? But not all of them, surely. You see, I think of cows as being like small brachiosaurs. It was always warm in cretaceous times.
The correct game plan is to buy her a drink and tell her how smart she is.
