Is it Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Party Now?
American Conservative ^ | June 29, 2018 | Patrick J. Buchanan

Posted on 06/29/2018 6:02:25 AM PDT by C19fan

For Nancy Pelosi, 78, Steny Hoyer, 79, and Joe Biden, 75, the primary results from New York’s 14th congressional district are a fire bell in the night.

All may be swept away in the coming revolution. That is the message of the crushing defeat of 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley, who had aspired to succeed Pelosi and become speaker of the House.

The No. 4 House Democrat, Crowley, 56, had not faced primary opposition since 2004. He outspent his opponent, 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was tending bar a year ago, by 10 to one.

Hillary Clinton and Sen. Tim Kaine may have been the last of the all-white Democratic tickets.

I think she'll be put in her place by Nancy once she's sworn into the House.

She'll just be one more Nancybot.

I prefer using the approach we took in the Pacific during WWII. Just bypass her and leave her to die on the vine, so to speak. (Now some hysterical leftist will try to make something of my metaphor).

Only 28,000 votes were cast.

She’s in her twenties and still ignorant and also stupid!

From what I've read, I believe she is neither ignorant nor stupid. Very dangerous in theory. Remember, millions voted for the last two Democrat presidential candidates.

hardly indicative of a wave...

That’s Nancy Pelosi’s spin on it. ”Pay no attention to what just happened! It means nothing!”

It’s alright, Hillary’s about to send out another fundraising e-mail aimed at helping more illegals, sucking more money out of liberal war chests before what was supposed to be a critically important blue wave campaign. I’m sure when Trump announces his SCOTUS pick, she’ll again dip into the party faithful for funding to ‘fight vigorously this horrible choice for the court.’

Hillary’s still got a lot of friends to provide for and with the collapse of contributions by foreign governments to the Clinton Foundation, she’s got to squeeze people for more money. A gift that just keeps on giving.

Oh yeah. They transparent double standards are so glaringly obvious and infuriating.

At some point, she’s going to have to start keeping all her money for herself, now that it’s very unlikely that she’ll ever have any power to sell, at the highest level, ever again. (love your username, it reminds me of the song from my favorite Godzilla movie, “Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla”, when the Okinawan girl sings to “kingu Caesar”)

In 2016 179000 voters turned out in NY 14. This Tuesday it was 27000. Apathy wins. Apathy also elected DeBlasio.

The Marxist Snowflakes now owns the former Democrat Party. Adios old hippies. The “future” Mugs of Amerika have arrived to take over and they aren’t smiling. They all have that Norman Bates look. LOL.

Crowley should nut up, run as an independent, and whip her butt.

It’s awesome watching the lunatics take over the asylum on the other side. I don’t see that working out any better than it did for McGovern. By the time they figure it out and are able to reassert at least a facade of respectability, the Donald will have completed his second term and fundamentally reshaped the Supreme Court. #WINNING#

I was listening to the Miami/Diamondbacks game the other day when they brought up that they were going to have Venezuela Day at the park. They didn’t say WHY they were going to celebrate Venezuela or what it meant. I guess all the Venezuelans who climb the fence get in free.

A poster claimed Crowley will be on the ballot in Nov under a 3rd party. In NY a candidate can be listed multiple times under different party labels.

A Democratic Socialist, endorsed by MoveOn, Black Lives Matter and People for Bernie, Ocasio-Cortez favors Medicare for all, a $15 minimum wage, 100 percent renewable energy by 2035, free tuition at public colleges, federal jobs for all who want them, and abolishing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency that runs “black sites” on the Mexican border where “human rights abuses are happening.”

This is the new direction of the Democratic Party. No more Biden, Clinton, Pelosi, and other ancient relics of the past.

And I couldn't be happier.
