Um, the people in this district don't want jobs.
They want YOUR money.
Some folks are starting to pay attention that their rights in this nation are being slaughtered by the commies and are paying attention to what is coming if they don’t freaking wake up.
37,000 people voted in the election. That's the only stat that matters. They don't know or care about policy. They only want to be able to say "AOC is my Rep."
I agree. Her brand is more important and more valuable than her policies, which are secondary.
The latest I saw had her at 73%!
Those idiots deserve her!
Hope she chases away more jobs.
Cortez the Job Killer.
Failed bartenders and waitstaff that hold her experience in awe.
The best part is, her policies will go nowhere. All her bills are messaging bills she knows will never make it out of Committee. She’s a celebrity and nothing more. In 20 years it’ll probably be different, but thankfully I’ll be close to death by then. Haha.
Joe leading in the polls? The dems will be drowning in their own lies, won’t know up from down, won’t know reality even after it crushes them.

She came dancing across the waters with her socialism and anti guns...
Yes. He’s a Democrat. He’s an idiot (but I repeat myself). He doesn’t live in the district. And he is a jerk.
I believe it is the southern tier area of upstate NY. Great win... Hope more Upstate NY districts will get more R votes this year...
Why was the seat vacant?
About as strong a candidate as you could get. He’ll have to run again very soon, but great to see.
“Member when...”
I know you dropped the re just for fun, I have done a lot of that myself but I am trying to stop, too many people don’t know the difference. I am 76 and I see people on TV who are supposed to be leaders using language that would have caused me to flunk fifth grade English in a tiny public school in SC in 1954 and they are not just having fun, they are just uneducated, regardless of how many worthless degrees they hold. Just my opinion, I don’t mean to be critical of you but it seems that English is being deconstructed which, at least for me, takes all the fun out of playing around on the keyboard, have a blessed day.
Chris Collins won in 2016 67.2% to 32.8% and he was a flawed candidate in 2018. So really not much has changed.

It’s still one of the five boroughs, mostly because Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx haven’t yet figured out how to tow it over to Jersey. Queens is a swing area, too big to generalize.
“Is there something about Fred McMurray that voters did not like?”
The traditional Dems are not enthused. They are bored with Biden and don’t like the riots. It’s the AOC/BERNIE crowd that is riled up.
Not too many of them in this suburban Buffalo district.
And McMurray ain’t their candidate. Do you think Mr. Cleaver could excite the BLM crowd?
So, yes, the Dems stayed home. And the gOP voters had more reason to show up, as they had a primary. Multiple GOP candidates doing voter contact.
