Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a favorite to beat Republican candidate Anthony Pappas in November.

Unfortunately. The only thing that keeps this from being a disaster is that she will probably have virtually no power and will be mostly ignored.

This is their stupidity..

800,000 people are about to flee New York and California because of taxes, say economists
800,000 people will leave New York and California over the next three years due to the new tax bill, conservative economists Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore said in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.
Other economists dispute this finding, say there is no connection between taxes and migration.

These economists claim high-tax states will likely generate more wealth than they lose.

Taxpayers are leaving so more taxes will make up for it...when they leave due to high taxes???

Even the NYC real estate market is soft in the upper levels.

Someone did not take her serious enough; this should have come out long before now.

Oops.

'Girl from the Bronx' Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who beat high-ranking Democrat Joe Crowley, faces questions over her 'working class' background after it's revealed she grew up in a wealthy suburb north of New York City

Ocasio-Cortez, 28, won shock upset over 10-term Dem incumbent this month

Primary win makes her a shoe-in for Congress in New York's liberal 14th District

Avowed socialist describes her 'working class' upbringing in campaign bio

Claims she made a 40-minute commute from the Bronx for better school as kid

But her architect father bought house in wealthy Westchester County in 1991

Ocasio-Cortez went on to attend Brown University and interned for Ted Kennedy

The dems must think of themselves as stupid- They keep promoting a fresh young face with new ideas.

Conservatives love experience and a track record of success= Donald Trump.

This likely shows that Crowley never took her seriously as an opponent. I'm not sure what the polling numbers said, as this was asshole on asshole related, but I would be almost willing to bet (but don't care enough to google it) that Crowley probably dismissed her for most of the campaign or all, and he got his ass handed to him.

AND- Given the district, the fact that she is a liar probably isn't going to matter. Unless you have her on video killing a homeless, gay, disabled, black female ANTIFA member while she is screaming she's a NRA member, a Russian BOT, and an undercover agent of the FBI whose been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan, it likely won't matter anyway. And even if you do have her on video, it probably isn't going to matter.

I don't think, A, that this has ever stopped a Dem before, or B, that that district is going to vote for the Republican because of it.

This is sounding like she was hand picked to run there.
This is no coincidence.

I fear as business/working people leave other areas that are not thriving/weakening, it will give rise to people like her. For now, she is a minority-(political ideology)- in politics but it could be a start. It is amazing at how many idiots think what she has to say/wants to do/stands for, is a good thing.

She will get a taste of big money,(seems they all do), all the while saying she is for the people and working for them, trying to tear down the establishment. Bernie supporters should be up in arms about his wealth but they are not. I don't get the mentality. I seriously believe it is a mental disorder of some sort.

I find it quite amazing/funny, that at the end of the day, all of the politicians seems to love what capitalism can do for them.

Look at the comments here: America is not buying it.I can't quit laughing

One of the memes in that Twitter feed was "Socialism- Has only killed 116 million so far. Let's give it one more try"

The only good that can come if this is it dividing up the democratic party.
Otherwise, this communist takeover will continue.
And we will become outnumbered as parents raise entitlement children and allow communists in to vote.

Not so fast. The millennials that everyone loves to hate, may be a helping hand in the battle.



And the next generation, Generation Z, is even more conservative.

This explains why the left are pushing the republicans are uncaring xenophobic racists mantra.
Try and shame people from leaving the true fascists.

No surprise, there's blow-back consequences when groups are demonized. If you're male, you're out; if you're Christian, even an inactive/twice-a-year one, you're out; if you're a gun owner you're out; if you're white, you're out. That's a pretty large group, and that group has a lot of friends. If you're a Gen-Z, 16-yr old, the future doesn't look too bright, there's little encouragement and you've been blamed for everything.

Sounds like another over-educated silver spoon limousine liberal. But most of her voters just care about her last name.

For those sold enough to remember the riots at the Chicago Democratic Convention in 1968, this radical ideology completely backfired when it became time to vote in November.

So it turns out that not only is she a socialist idiot, she's a friggin' phony too:



The hardscrabble biography of Democrat Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been called into question after the revelation that she grew up mostly in wealthy Westchester County.
