Don’t underestimate her. She’s risen from nothing to dominate any news cycle she wishes to, and has articulated the future vision for the Democrat Party. At least for those who have not come out and denounced it as impractial and crazy...(crickets)...
Everyone loves to make fun of her, which is fine but don’t miss the real point. She laid out a vision and a lot of people have embraced it. She has had a far greater impact in far less time than Hillary, Bernie, all the other also-rans, with the exception of Obama.
Cow farts are a throwaway line. She can get a few laughs, make it sound like she’s really serious about that - you know? And people will go away thinking “Well, cow farts are silly, but you know, she really makes a lot of sense otherwise”. And that’s the danger.
No one other than Trump has been as persasive in getting others to buy into their vision.
The opportunity we have is to articulate what “Make America Great Again” really means. The media is busy telling the world it’s just a return to segregation and repression.
Are we going to take advantage of this opportunity? Or just sit back and make fun of AOC?

Trump's vision is to Make America Great Again. AOC's vision is to stop cow farts by telling people to cut back on their hamburger consumption. Even people who will say publicly that they think she's a genius will go home at night and have another hamburger.
I'll bet the senior executives at Amazon drink a toast to themselves every night and say: "Man, did we dodge a bullet when we pulled out of that New York City deal."
