Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez out to primary Chuck Schumer?

Well, well, well, what a pretty picture we have with Democrats these days, with radical Democrats now looking at primary fights with utterly crazy socialist ones.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be planning to primary her fellow New York Democrats for a Senate seat, getting ready to target Sen. Chuck Schumer or Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. 

That's what Mike Allen at Axios is reporting, citing what's apparently an upcoming Axios on HBO segment, citing "top Democrats," who "buzz." He writes:

Top Democrats tell "Axios on HBO" they expect Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may eventually primary one of the two New York senators — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in 2022, or Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in 2024.

Why it matters: AOC has instantly become one of the party's most coveted endorsers (up there with Clintons and Obamas) — and has recently made common cause with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a pairing that could take off.

A note of caution, though is in order first: Allen's piece quotes only a spokesweasel, and that person seems to be playing down the idea. Maybe the whole thing is a weather balloon or a bite-back bid from Ocasio-Cortez against Democrats who've whispered 'primary' at her for her seat. But who knows what the HBO segment will yield? Allen's a smart swamp thing, and presumably knows what he's talking about.

AOC should run against Schumer in 2022. Schumer is an old white man so it’ll be easy for AOC to run against him.

[Ted Grant]

Watching Chucky Cheese Schumer get consumed my this zealot is going to be enjoyable!

NY State and the nation loses, though.

[magua]

It would be beautiful to see. AOC running against an old white Jewish guy. Chuck running against a person young enough to be his granddaughter and sounding like a 5 year old. It is a win-win for her. Just do it!

[bigbob]

When she is calling the shots and the democrat presidential candidates line up behind her ideas, she IS the boss, whether you like it or not.

[MinorityRepublican]

AOC could win the Senate in 2022. Then become President in 2024. We won’t have Trump since he’ll be retiring. And the presidential cycle will favor the Democrats since the Republicans would have been in the White House for eight years.

Watch what you wish for. Obama was elected twice.The typical American voter is stupid.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

“...with radical Democrats now looking at primary fights with utterly crazy socialist ones.”

We should start referring to them as Mensheviks and Bolsheviks.

[antidemoncrat]

The thing that really bothers me right now is the lack of the Republicans actions to address voter fraud, ballot harvesting and the tyranny of state governments giving their electoral college votes to the winner of the popular vote. I can see Democrats stealing their way into control of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2020.

[Brilliant]

NY deserves to be represented in the Senate by AOC.

[seawolf101]

When she is calling the shots and the democrat presidential candidates line up behind her ideas, she IS the boss, whether you like it or not.

Although her stupidity always comes through, I have to agree with you because I never thought that Obama could win the first time and yet he won twice.

[frank ballenger]

RE: Republicans weak responding to vote fraud and ballot harvesting...so could lose in 2020....

Yes. The in crowd elite Republicans (dare I say Deep State and Swamp dwellers all?) love their cushy jobs and expect to stay for decades. The 4 star restaurants, gifts from foreign lobbyists and our own, and being treated like kings and queens all appeal to them.

But, how do they really think they will be treated by Bolshevik style Bernie Soros, and AOC despotic power brokers. All Dem House,Senate and President in 2021 would be like Mao and Fidel for decades with no legal opposition.

Fidel (and others) said: I was put in power by the people of Cuba. To safeguard the people’s revolution I will not allow another election during this emergency. We must make secure the benefits of the new system.

For our own “good” the leftists will either cancel next elections or will fix them like Iran, North Korea and Russia to be the result every time: “glorious leader wins with 100% of votes.”

GET IT ON!!!!!!! Love to see the semi cortex beat Chuckie Schumer.

[arthurus]

It is what she needs to do. She will likely lose her own district primary in 2020.

[arthurus]

I would love to see a majority of Social Democrat reps get beat in the primaries and the House go back to the Republicans in a big way.

[srmanuel]

Perhaps, but the internal civil war would be fun to watch, imagine if Schumer were to lose....the fight itself would be fun to watch

[arthurus]

But if it is Cortex it will be a fun watch. Since the likelihood of any Republican winning in Schumer’s district is vanishingly small I would prefer Occasional Cortex to win his seat to another Democrat so long as the Republicans retain and increase their majority.

[upchuck]

BIG bump. Drives me crazy that the GOP and GOPe sit on their asses and do nothing to stem the rats voter fraud. Guess they really like being in the minority.

[b4me]

AOC hasn’t even gotten her feet fully wet (or office fully up and running) as a congressman let alone running for another office she knows nothing about.

[TMN78247]

TOO BAD that “Her Royal Empty-headiness” cannot “primary” BOTH DIMocRATS in the US Senate at once. = Fyi, I’m FOR anything that DAMAGES the DIMocRATS Party.

BOTH of the current NY Senators are UNFIT by reason of “lack of moral character” to BE a Senator.

Yours, TMN78247
