So far, so good. Far-left socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 29, has managed to P.O. more Democrats with her tweets, her latest one going after the age of Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, 76, who said he didn't think she was the future of the Democratic Party. With characteristic class, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted this to Lieberman: "New party, who dis?"
To be fair, Lieberman started it: "With all respect, I certainly hope she's not the future and I don't believe she is," said Lieberman, who was the Democratic Party's vice presidential nominee in the 2000 election.
All respect? I didn't read any "all respect" in that one. I read "all disgust." The "future" Lieberman refers to was clearly in reference to Ocasio-Cortez's youth, because let's face it: youth is always the future. She returned fire, "pooping on" (as Whoopi Goldberg likes to say) another one.
It's her party's own doing. She unwittingly reminded everyone that Democrats really do have an age problem. They would rather that not be noticed. But they do. They are the party of the establishment. They are the party of dinosaurs. Their leadership is positively Jurassic. Few new voices or faces have made their way into leading positions now that Nancy Pelosi (age 78) has retaken the House speaker's gavel. Old Democrats hoard power and take it seriously, shutting out the young. Everyone can notice it, except them.
Even the Democrats' policies – piling on government debt for the young to pay; driving up health care costs for the young, who don't use much health care (and, as Mitch McConnell himself once told a group of us when I was working at a newspaper, that comes right out of state education budgets); minimum wage hikes, which kick away the lowest rungs on the jobs ladder.....

Hope she attacks Hillary soon.
The best young democrat talent is in back-alley abortion dumpsters.
So there is a God...
I’m hoping that by the end of Trump’s second term, it will be abundantly clear that Trump has grown the economy, created opportunity for young people and minorities, and restored hope in our future. The Democrats seem almost at war with young people, and — of course — they’ve been keeping blacks on the plantation for a long, long time. With any luck, the Democrats will fade away like the Whigs.
“Hope she attacks Hillary soon.”
Hahaha! That’ll be the end of AOC. Literally.
She kind of did...indirectly anyhow.
Lieberman’s comment did not start the fight, intentionally that is, he was merely voicing common sense. Much the same way many dems, RINO’s and conservatives are doing about this little media whore.
With AOC appearing to be just brainless, the media is pushing her as the new dem party, which just encourages her to do act out all the more, like any 5 year old. The problem is those that voted obama in the 2nd time are no different, and love her. With that in mind, AOC is a clear and present danger.
You go Girl....kick them old farts out......
Mess with dinosaurs at your peril.
I predict that she will not win her next election. The democrats will primary her. She is much too willing to honestly project real democrat objectives.
BTW she is just as slimy and self serving as they are.
She is just figured out how to use the left’s techniques( instinctively?)against them...and at the same time become a media sensation.
Its also a kind of insurance policy.
Although,she is playing a very dangerous game.
Maybe she knows it or maybe not..?
Hillary Clinton is irrelevant.
She has no role in the present or future Democrat Party.
“I’m hoping that by the end of Trump’s second term, it will be abundantly clear that Trump has grown the economy, created opportunity for young people and minorities, and restored hope in our future.”
And that will complete one of the cycles of our voting history. People will be so complacent that they’ll be voting in the next version of obama, which would likely be some radical diehard leftist female that would make Hitlery look like a saint.
I saw a commentator on TV last night who said that political correctness no longer allows us to call a Moron a Moron. From now on, we must refer to Morons as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s.
She can still have bodies delivered to Fort Marcy park as Vince Foster’s corpse found out.
She not just young - she’s socialicious!!
That was 26 years ago.
Stop living in the past. We have many more serious enemies to deal with than a sick old drunk.
