I went back to viewing some of her interviews and commentary (even before the primary election). After a while, you come to realize that she has the maturity of a 13-year old kid. They talk about university and a degree, but I think she just dozed through....reaching a worthless degree in the end.

Joe Crowley? Since he’s still in this race and running under another party...I suspect that he’ll win the race, and this Cortez-opera will end very quietly. Then everyone will admit that she just wasn’t ready for the prime-time.

Communist Cortez hates nature’s animals like the deer or horses.

How many horses and deer live in the Big City??

They wiped out the animals. The Big City put their animals behind bars. Animals are extinct in the City.

The Big City gets LESS representation for killing mother nature and her wonderful animals.

Wierd...there is no right to vote. We’re not a democracy and we’re not a democratic republic. We were a constitutional republic with a very limited democratic process to elect our representatives.

Now were just a banana republic thanks to the expansion of the voting franchise.

I'm sorry, but she is living in y'alls' heads rent-free at this point.

What is with the complete obsession over this one Democrat from a deep blue district in a deep blue state again?

Radical leftwing politics has lifted many leftwing politicians out of poverty to prosperity. She's largely a product of the media, and the b.s. she's spewing is her meal ticket outta the bartending/table waiting business, all without any relevant experience or real-world wisdom. She's a con-artist waitress/drink server and lusts for the power of politics.

Are you always this ignorant, or is it something "new"?

That COMMIE PUKE was raised in the leafy vales of suburbia/exurbia and is no "city girl". And just WHAT do horses and deer have to do with anything?

I live in exurbia, HATE the damned deer ( the mammallian cockroaches and carriers of an almost deadly disease) and can happily do without a whole LOT of the wildlife and insects who have chosen to invade my property.

And as far as wildlife in big cities go...there actually is quite a LOT of it....all kinds of birds, rats, mice, racoons, rabbits, snakes, frogs, all kinds of birds,and insects. Used to be lots of horses ( people did ride in Central park, but that seems to have waned )as well as carriage horses, which de B. has seen fit to wage war against.

If she understood the Electoral Collefe she would know it gives more people more say and more voice than direct election, and makes far more states and people in those states, relevant to campaigns.

If the Electoral college was abolished only the biggest cities would be targeted by campaigns and everyone else would be ignored. That means only big city issues, social liberal issues, would be discussed, amd everyone elses issues outside mega urban areas, ignored.

LOL...so I did; however, as we both know, that's just an urban legend! ;^)

There's probably more "wildlife" in Central Park, alone, NOT COUNTING THE OTHER BIG PARKS IN THE OTHER BOROUGHS, NOR THE SMALLER PARKS, than have EVER been in cages, combined, in the history of the Bronx Zoo and the Central Park Zoo.

What I fail to understand is what wildlife has to do re the ELECTORAL COLLEGE, calling our REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC a "DEMOCRACY" ( which we aren't ), as well as the other stuff in the original article.
