Ocasio-Cortez suggests a Bloomberg presidency would pave the way for 'a worse Trump'

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) slammed former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in an interview Tuesday, suggesting that even if the billionaire candidate were to win the presidency in November, he would pave the way for "a worse Trump."

"Obviously, we have to beat Trump, but if we beat Trump and go back to the same policies that we had before, a worse Trump is going to come. A Trump that’s more sophisticated, whose fascism is less obvious, is going to come, and things could get even worse," Ocasio-Cortez, a prominent campaign surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), said during a discussion about Bloomberg on "The Breakfast Club" radio show.

Ocasio-Cortez was also critical of Bloomberg's record, "from stop and frisk to the surge in housing costs in New York City to even his own history on redlining to how he talks about transgender people."

The unspoken question about her is "Who Will She vote For"?

The Multi-Billionaire who is trying to buy the DNC nomination of the Communist?

“...a very hopeful sign that.... Bernie is going to run third-party.”

Why on Earth would you hope for that?

And don’t assume a third party Bernie candidate would only take votes from the Democrat - it’s not that simple.

A third party candidate will siphon off Independents, many of whom would otherwise be voting for Trump. Independents identify as Independents for a reason; they don’t like to be forced to choose between Democrat and Republican. For that reason, they LOVE voting for third party candidates - it is a way of thumbing their noses at the two party system - it makes them feel...well, independent.

In a two way race, President Trump does well with Independents, but a three way race could easily change that - enough to make the difference in the all-important swing states.

Stupid people often act like they are acting stupid.
As a way to cover up their stupidness.

I don’t think the statement is stupid.

It’s actually more eloquent than her usual garbage.

She’s still an idiot and a leftist fascist wannabe

She’s right for once. If Bloomie were elected, our next choice would be meaner, more America-first and even more Twittery. ;)

She’s stomping for Bernie and and worked on his campaign in ‘16, so of course she’ll vote for Bernie whether or not he is the Dem nominee.

Obviously you don’t know ANYTHING at all about Bloomy! And you know what they say about silence being “golden”...don’t you?

She has a vivid imagination. I thought for Democrats, no human being could be worse than Donald Trump, but now she is worrying about someone even worse than Trump?

Dayum AOC! You really need to be kicked to the curb.

Your kind are the fascists who want to force your commie doctrine on the rest of us. Capitalism works. Communism/Socialism always fails and even when it’s not failing it makes the people miserable and afraid of their authoritarian government.
