“I could see the journalism crowd proclaiming her the next ‘JFK’...”
Yes, I can see the journalism crowd trying to create reality with their torrent of nonsense, not that they will be successful. Trump has shown us all out to puncture their balloons.
Luntz is a strange bird; does he really believe his own nonsense?
Luntz ‘sells’ a product...polling that makes you look good or the other guy look bad.
At some point after 2016 Iowa caucus, he brought six Iowa vote-for-Hillary folks on a live interview, and asked what was special about Hillary when she was Senator and Sec of State....not a single person could answer that question. At the time, I thought it really helped Bernie a great deal, and proved that voters by November had a big issue in voting for her.
One has to remember that Luntz was also anti-Trump through the election and for the entire first year of the administration. Maybe he sees the Trump win easily in 2020, and is really aiming for 2024 for his next big impact.
I think the ‘Bohemian’ attraction to AOC is that this Green Deal, and the 10 to 20 Trillion Dollar cost factor. There’s some fantasy that at the end of this eight years of AOC and 20 trillion spent...there’s something magnificent there and a bold new world. For you and me, we’d be back to mule-drawn wagons, surviving off a garden plot, and appreciating even a sip of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
