New York Democratic boss warns AOC not to challenge Chuck Schumer
NY Post ^ | December 26 2020 | Jon Levine

Don’t do it AOC!

That’s the warning New York’s Democratic party boss has for the sophomore Congresswoman, who is rumored to be mulling a primary challenge to US Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer.

“I think it would be a primary driven by ambition more than by need,” Jay Jacobs told The Post.

“Chuck Schumer has been a progressive force in the state for decades,” added the chairman of the state Democratic committee. “She has a constituency that admires her and supports her, and they’re in her community, and I think it would be a loss for them if she were to do that.”

Rat fight! It’s incredible that Jacobs is threatening “her community,” by which I assume he means Puerto Ricans. The Dems don’t like it when their captive “communities” get restless, and Dem bosses are ruthless in suppressing any dissent.

The RATS better keep their little princesses under control or they will be running that RATS’ nest before long. The squat squad is too stupid and dumb to allow themselves to be intimidated by the New Yawk thug bosses. LOL.

I wouldn’t know WHO to root for in this one!
I’d love to see her brought down a notch because, damn, she is so FULL of herself!

But then again, I’d love to see this young woman beat that senile old geezer because I hate his face and everything that spews from it.

I don’t know that her ideology is any worse than his. So maybe I will root for her.

“...it would be a primary driven by ambition more than by need...”

Get a load of this crap. As if Shumer or ANY Rat only run for positions of power due to need. They ALL run due to ambition. They all see themselves as the next savior of the world. Screw this mob boss clown and the horse he rode on.

Root for both of them to tear each other limb from limb. Root for a Republican of some bona fides to take the seat.

She won’t do it. She won’t trade a sure seat for life for a likely statewide loss. She’ll talk about it.

She’ll exact a price for her forbearance. Party bosses will either pay it or tell her to go to hell. I hope the latter.

Wonder if this means they won’t dare to gerrymander her district out of existence...

What’s the difference - socialism or communism - either way America loses with both of these clowns.

Isnt that why everyone runs for elected office, ambition?.
I think she should go for it, it would be glorious to watch.
It would be horrible if she actually won, but then again how much worse can she be compared to Schumer.

I’ve been on the can for an hour, trying to give a sh!t what they do or don’t do to AOC’s district. Can’t.

Better the inept devil with the room-temperature IQ than the competent devil who knows his way about the machinery of power and will shrink at nothing.

But better than either is a reasonably honest and decent Republican. Does Al D’Amato have any kids? How would Rudy’s son feel about running?

I don’t understand why dingbat AOC is still given so much attention....it’s like Pelosi and the rest are using her as a moving target they can hide behind!

She’ll do it by stoking the undercurrent of anti-semitism that lies in the hearts of many Dem apparatchiks. Minorities, black and Hispanics, will vote for her as will single white women.She won’t say anything directly but she’ll do little to stop it.

Jacobs fears Schumer’s goose will be cooked.
