Apparently Joe Lieberman torched her in public and appealed to the voters in the district effected. Lieberman states “ Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is a proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America, whose platform, like hers, is more Socialist than Democratic. Her dreams of new federal spending would bankrupt the country or require very large tax increases, including on the working class,” he continued. “Her approach foresees government ownership of many private companies, which would decimate the economy and put millions out of work.”

yep. Joe Lieberman

Vote Joe Crowley, for Working Families

by Joe Lieberman

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s surprise primary victory over Rep. Joe Crowley seems likely to hurt Congress, America and the Democratic Party. It doesn’t have to.

Because the policies Ms. Ocasio-Cortez advocates are so far from the mainstream, her election in November would make it harder for Congress to stop fighting and start fixing problems. Thanks to a small percentage of primary votes, all of the people of New York’s 14th Congressional District stand to lose a very effective representative in Washington.

Fortunately, Joe Crowley and the voters in his district can prevent this damage. On Election Day, his name will be on the ballot as the endorsed candidate of the Working Families Party. But for Mr. Crowley to have a chance at getting re-elected, he will have to decide if he wants to remain an active candidate. I hope he does.

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is a proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America, whose platform, like hers, is more Socialist than Democratic. Her dreams of new federal spending would bankrupt the country or require very large tax increases, including on the working class. Her approach foresees government ownership of many private companies, which would decimate the economy and put millions out of work.

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez didn’t speak much about foreign policy during the primary, but when she did, it was from the DSA policy book—meaning support for socialist governments, even if they are dictatorial and corrupt (Venezuela), opposition to American leadership in the world, even to alleviate humanitarian disasters (Syria), and reflexive criticism of one of America’s great democratic allies (Israel).

She has received the most attention for calling to “Abolish ICE,” Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This makes no sense unless you no longer want any rules on immigration or customs to be enforced. I have not heard anyone say that. Nonetheless, at least three credible candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination rushed to endorse Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s position.

Republicans are calling Ms. Ocasio-Cortez the “new face” of the Democratic Party. That’s why Nancy Pelosi has tried to put distance between Ms. Ocasio-Cortez and House Democrats. “They made a choice in one district,” Mrs. Pelosi said. “It is not to be viewed as something that stands for anything else.” She knows that if Democrats are to regain a majority, it will be by winning swing districts with sensible, mainstream candidates. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is making that task harder across America.

Joe Crowley’s re-election would be evidence that Democrats are capable of governing again. His voting record shows that Mr. Crowley is a progressive. I know him as a bridge builder and problem solver, which is exactly what Congress needs more of in both parties.

Mr. Crowley faces a difficult choice. I know because I faced the same one in 2006 after losing a Democratic primary. I ran as an independent because I wanted all the voters to decide whether I deserved to continue to serve them in the Senate. It was a risk, but I concluded it was worth it to know that I had taken my fight for the kind of government I believed in as far as I possibly could.

For the sake of Congress and our country, I hope Joe Crowley will give all the voters of his district the opportunity to re-elect him in November—and I hope they find his name on their ballots.

...."heinous"???

All the more reason she needs to be front and center - let them start eating their own and we can watch the feeding frenzy!

The House passed a resolution on Wednesday to support the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency and rebuke calls to abolish it.

131 DEMs voted "present"


The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), would express continued support for ICE, denounce calls for the abolishment of ICE, and support the efforts of all federal agencies, state law enforcement, and military personnel who enforce the country’s borders.

something to remember in November

Maybe with a nice Chianti to wash to wash it down with...this chick ain't that and a bag of chips...she will learn quickly enough that the LEFT will shred it's own to protect the collective ...she ain't invited...she is so fucked by her posts

D’s better get their story straight. Occassionally-Cortexes should be a shoe in to replace the agressively stupid, yet aging Mad Maxine, or maybe even rise to take over for Nattering nabob Nancy as the scum at the very top of the swamp.

Ouch! Even CNN’s Chris Cillizza advises Dems to ‘slow their roll’ on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

So which is it? As Twitchy reported, Joe Lieberman in a Wall Street Journal op-ed urged New York Democrats to ditch their support of socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in favor of Joe Crowley, and yet DNC chair Tom Perez declared her “the future of our party.”

Media types, who don’t root for a side, mind you, have been happy to give the Democrats advice on Ocasio-Cortez. MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, for example, warned that Ocasio-Cortez’ prediction that capitalism will not always exist in the world “will not help the blue wave.” And on Wednesday, CNN’s Chris Cillizza advised Democrats to “slow their roll” in pushing Ocasio-Cortez into the limelight — not surprising, considering her disastrous TV interviews.

I couldn't pick him out of a police lineup. Never heard his voice, never seen his face. All I know about him is his fucked-up name.

Me neither. But on his tweet-page, he identifies himself thusly:

@CillizzaCNN
"One of the dumber and least respected of the political pundits." -- Donald Trump;

"A f*!-ing mouth breather." -- Roseanne Barr

I’ll take him at his word, and ignore future punditry. Plus he’s on CNN, “really bad people, totally fake news”

I think it's good for all America if Democrats publicly say that socialism is not good for America.

If we can all agree that capitalism is the way to continue, I feel much better about the long term viability of our country.

I'd like to put this socialism BS down Old 'Yeller style.
