Sassio Kotex won because people in that district want their own version of Maxine Waters.

For those who got no information from the summary and don’t want to click on the site.

“The facts:

Nearly half the people living in the district are Hispanic. The next nearest demographic is whites, who comprise 24% of the population.

Forty-seven percent of the residents are foreign-born, with 56% — including Ocasio-Cortez’s mother — having emigrated from Latin America.

Sixty-seven percent speak a language other than English at home with 46% speaking Spanish.

When it comes to education, 53% have either a high school diploma or no “degree” at all. Only 17% have a bachelor’s degree from college.

At $58,331, the median household income falls just shy of the median for the United States, which is $60,336.

Finally, according to Ballotpedia, the district leans heavily Democratic. In the 2016 election, 82.9% of voters voted for the Democratic incumbent, Joe Crowley, whereas 17.1% voted for his Republican challenger, Frank Spotorno.”

Soros PLUS apathetic, ignorant voters = progressive victory.

But only about 13 percent of registered Democrats turned out to vote in the 14th Congressional District that takes in parts of Queens and the Bronx.

Most voters stayed home for stunning Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez win (Primary)

“It’s a mystery how someone so blatantly ignorant can go from bartender to Congress.”

Politicians in general are not a very impressive group.

The real story is who was behind her election. This moron had no idea how to run a Congessional campaign. Someone ran her campaign, told her what to say and paid for the election.

The didn’t vote for her, they voted for the democrat. You could have put a turnip on the democrat line and it would have won.

She still probably ranks in the top 25% of intelligence in her Congressional District. Plus, she's a college graduate, so that moves her into the top 15% of "Donkey Desirables". Finally, she's "Intersectional", whatever the heck THAT means, so she was a lock.

Lord have mercy on this great nation if other Alexandria Occasionally Coherent pick up on this trend in 2020 and beyond.

Why not a Bartender-to-Congress?

Hell, here in Illinois a high-school wrestling coach who had an affinity for sexually molesting and abusing boys for YEARS got elected to the House of Representatives, made it all the way to Speaker of the House, served, then went home and retired on a Government Pension.

It was only some years later that it finally became public knowledge via a money laundering scheme that he was nailed in that his sexual molestation/abuse finally came to light from his high-school coaching days.

Know who I'm talking about yet? It was J. Dennis "Denny" Hastert.

Some of us knew all the way back in 1992 that he was a pedophile. No one listened. No one seemed to care at the time because his political star was on the rise.

It's only when they finally crash and burn that people finally care about how they voted and shake their heads in disbelief.

It happened with Hastert, It's happened with that dipshit from NY, it happened with Kamala Harris, with Sheila Jackson Lee and more. It'll happen again.

Who votes for these people?

In my house, they're called f**king idiots.
