Ocasio to her black assistant:
I don’t carry my own bags, moron. I’m a star. You carry my bags!

The gay changes did not surprise me. Most every family has a gay relative; brothers, sisters, cousins, and they are the face of the gay community to each person’s mind.

But full blown socialism is a hard sell to Americans in general..................

Please give Alexandra lots and lots of media attention. Let her set out her socialist/communist theories in detail. Spread the word. Make sure everyone understands her. I believe the more attention she gets as the future of the democratic party, the stronger the conservative side will be.

Winning 16,000 votes in a congressional district of 250,000 registered Democrats is obviously not a groundswell but a media created bubble - that I pray keeps growing and not break until it’s big enough to take down her entire party for many years.

When I see that face all I think of is “Hee Haw”

Legend has it that either is equally effective.

Millenials seem to love the idea. And unlike most young people who flirt with it, they appear to be holding firm in their support into their 30's.

"The way things are going she will be considered the mainstream in twenty years."

Don't fret, the old Churchill adage 'Show me a young man who is a conservative and I'll show you a man with no heart. Show me an old man who is a liberal and I'll show you a man with no head.' whether apocryphal or not applies. I think most of us would admit that when we were young (teens, twenties) would admit that we were far more liberal. As we gained in worldly experience, marry, raise a family, get jobs and become productive members of society, most of us wake up to the realities of life and become more conservative.

I believe it will be this way with the millineals. The young are always more progressive. Look at the Baby Boomers, you couldn't get more liberal (think woodstock and the summer of love) and we are now the elderly and therefore the backbone of conservatism and the Republican party.

She mastered the art of getting rich by pimping stupidity.

“Our swing voter is the voter to the non-voter, the non-voter to the voter.”

uh, yeah, right ... that brilliant statement resonate for all of eternity and no doubt convince millions of something, but I’m not sure what ...

[Truthoverpower]

She hasn’t won anything
That’s the funny thing
She will LOSE this fall
Mark my words

[Red Badger]

She’s a real rocket surgeon, that one.................

In the immortal words of Ocrazio herself, “Let’s flip this seat red!”

[NormsRevenge]

Insurgent candidates? Is that what they call them now?

We used to call them idiots. Now we call them mainstream Democrats.
