This couple reminds me of the couple that loved non-violent grizzly bears and got eaten by the sweet little things.

Ocasio-Cortez won't be able to stand up to the pressure of even a sympathetic Media who supports her Communist agenda.  That is pretty weak if you ask me.  It will be interesting to see if they turn on her if she keeps this up.  She is the David Hogg of elected office.  Fifteen minutes, and then obscurity.  I wonder what outlandish things she will say to keep her name in the Media.

I think you may be in error regarding the depths to which the MSM will descend. This girl is the ONE success story they have, and my guess is they will ride her like a frothing horse all the way to the HR win. We haven't heard anything yet. Once she's in office, the MSM will absolutely go ballistic and we will get 24/7 coverage of everything she says, does, and writes, including the consistency of her latest bowel movement.

The left media is desperate. In the absence of an actual statesman - they will pin their glory on the least objectionable far-left whatever the electorate dishes up. This girl could get drunk, proposition one of her male followers, strip nekkid and falling down drunk and she would still be elected, and garlanded.

And that is why we must never make asechrest a moderator.

 

^^^^^^I notice you're STILL not a Moderator.

My point was that anyone that ran as a Democrat would win in that district including, but not limited to Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro (either brother), Che Guevera, Atilla the Hun, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ma Barker, the Three Stooges, the Spanish Inquisition...……...

I wasn’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition...
to run in that district. But Wikipedia indicates it is almost 50% Hispanic ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_14th_congressional_district  ), so not sure that would turn out well.

I'm not sure they were out to prove evil doesn't exist. But the quotes in that DC article I think represent a special kind of first-world naiveté. There are parts of this world that are absolutely brutal. It's a kind of brutality that most of us are forever shielded from in the safety of the richest country in the world. It's a kind of shocking brutality that could not be prepared-for, and which I think would make most of us violently ill if we witnessed first hand.

When the LEFT says they "want to have a conversation", or "want to have a discussion", they are actually saying they want to lecture you, and demand that you comply with their views, and their wishes.  They only want 100% capitulation.

William F. Buckley — "Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views."

His personality and tweeterimg is part of the whole package and may have been part of the "appeal" that got him elected. There are whole swaths of the population who have already been alienated from mainstream culture (supposedly represented by mainstream media) and from the status quo politician that turned to Trump because he isn't polished and isn't cozy with the press nor with D.C.

Ironically (because he's so filthy rich) they identify with him because he seems so imperfect, hot-tempered, scrappy, doesn't give a damn; where all other politicians carefully craft every communication for maximum appeal and minimum damage. Trump doesn't do that. His tweets are real-time stream of consciousness and people love it - there is no editing, censoring or message management filtering between him and us. For the first time in history we have a President not allowing his messages to we the people to be reformed by intermediaries either in his favor (his staff) or against him (the media). What we are getting is the real him, warts and all. The honesty is very refreshing, even if he is dishonest. It's the real him we see not an effort to manipulate our view of him.
