What about those who voted for her?

This was a very low turnout election that elected this gal. There is no doubt that she will Garner some votes because of all the attention she is getting. And nobody should underestimate the stupidity of the kinds of Voters who might dominate in her District. But to think that the candidate that she dislodged is going to just sit back and let the gravy train that he perceives to just drive by is in my opinion naive. It may well be that the Tom Perez’s and the Keith Ellison’s of the world think that Alexandra is the future of the Democratic Party, but I strongly suspect that Nancy Pelosi and Dick Durbin do not regard her as that attractive of a candidate, excepting little enclaves, exactly where she is. In other words she is a Yorkshire Terrier, she’s a cute little pet off in the corner, but there is always the chance that she will take a poop on the carpet. My point is that I do not regard her election as representative from that District as any kind of done deal. On the other hand maybe they get Kamala Harris and this one and a couple of others and turn it into the year of the woman. It is my contention that Hillary lost primarily because she lost the women’s vote, when women saw how pathological a liar she actually was. At that point she was no longer any kind of role model for their daughters, and that Suburban white vote for Hillary became very discouraged. At least that is my theory.

Worked as a bartender too.

She’s an example of a prestigious degree from a major university, not translating into a good job/career path.

Following years of “dumbing down” by Progressive control of education bureaucracies, this is example of the resulting product: ignorance posing as leadership. We’ve seen it for the past decade, haven’t we?

She’s not just fresh out of mommy & daddy’s basement. She’s fresh out of a university where she MAJORED in economics & international relations. And apparently was fourth in her class. How can you graduate & be such an imbecile? Probably because of Marxist professors who teach nothing but that capitalism is evil.

Students like AOC shouldn’t be forgiven their college debt. They should get their money back from the university for NOT RECEIVING AN EDUCATION!

It isn’t ignorance. Somewhere in her head she expects to be in charge of the tipping out...

Ms Cortez has demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt that she is utterly effing clueless and breathtakingly ignorant. She is completely unqualified to make law/policy when she so obviously knows virtually nothing about the real world.

“..She’s fresh out of a university where she MAJORED in economics & international relations. ...”

And probably lived free of charge in mom and dad’s basement while she went.

“..How can you graduate & be such an imbecile?...”

Because when you’re TAUGHT by imbeciles, there isn’t much of a choice to be anything BUT an imbecile.

She’s a typical democrat, just actually has the BALLS to admit what she really is.

She probably OD'd watching cnn coverage of old bugeyes Schiff for brains and figured there must be a bugeye caucus she was right for, so she ran for the spot.

that appeals to socialists.

Didn’t we just finish up with a President like that?

Excellent analysis! I also think Crowley isn't exactly going to sit back and let her win. NY state has bizarre rules where he can still run and crossover on another party's ticket.

This is why people like Joseph Lieberman came out and endorsed Crowley. The Dems don't want people to know how awful socialism is off the bat. They have to keep playing the incremental game, but AOC and other young whippersnappers have ruined it for them.
