A 28 year old NY Latino woman full of Socialist ideals wins.  On the one hand, it indicates that the Dems are not happy with the DC crowd.  On the other hand, draining the swamp but replacing it with sewer is not a good thing.  Sign of things to come for thr Dems.  For the nation.  I did love the irony in the last line of this article, by defeated Rep. Joe Crowley.

GOPers are probably celebrating this. A hard left turn by Dems will kill any hopes of a "blue wave."

It gives her opponent a ray of hope, but we should remember that New York has become just as strange as the left coast.  They desire to be ruled by the Government masters instead of ruling them as our Constitution intended.  Even if she does win, she is only one voice in the House, and a novice at that.  The Queens/Bronx boroughs that Crowley represents area does not have a single Republican Representative, and the only part of NYC that does is Staten Island.  I hope the Republican candidate wins, but the chances aren't good.

This was a good win for everyone.  While it wasn’t a conservative win (and never will be up there) this is another form of “draining the swamp” of people who have made a career of scamming America while in office.  Let the heads of career politicians roll.

Other than being a woman and a pretty lady, she hasn't got much going for her.  Her politics won't play well in the heartland of America.  I'm glad she won because she helps expose what the dimocrat party has become ....

Her politics don't have to. She's going to be an excellent representative for her constituents: far-Left liberal and Latino. That's, like, 90 percent of her district. 

I'm not shocked she won. I'm shocked the DNC machine let her win. While it's a blunder for them, it's a great win for the democratic process.

New Dem star rattles DC establishment

Quote

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will have enormous political firepower when she gets to Congress.

She boasts nearly 700,000 Twitter followers, far more than many members of Congress, and has shown a skill for handling the media. After her victory, her team said it was dealing with 1,000 media requests, and she quickly made the rounds not only on the news shows but in interviews on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert.

Lawmakers, aware of the clout she may yield, have already been reaching out to ask which caucuses she wants to join, whether she has leadership ambitions and what some of her broad ideas and goals might be, according to a Democratic source.

Some members are even jockeying for an opportunity to work with the rising star as she contemplates her path in Congress.

 . . . 

Ocasio-Cortez’s victory has provoked new questions about whether House Democrats need to welcome a new generation of leaders, and whether the party is tilting too far to the left.

The top three Democratic leaders have held a firm grip on power for more than a decade, and now-defeated Rep. Joseph Crowley had been seen as a potential future Speaker.

This new Dem Star is just the tip of the Marxist spear the Dems have created.  She is the equivalent of the “out of control robot” who wants to kill his maker.  She is a product of liberal institutions that have been turning out Left Wing Loons for years.  The universities had gotten very good at it, but opps, the Left Wing product has morphed into a Marxist.  The professors at these institutions should be concerned.  One relatively recent Marxist who came to power, Pol Pot, had teachers executed.  Opps !!!!!

I think this is a fascinating development, and I think this young lady will force the Dem leadership to pick a lane. We're going to see another revival of the internecine New Left battles from the '60s.

The older establishment quasi-moderates think they can just throw a bone to the radical anarchistic Left wingers with gay rights legislation, craven appeals to minority groups, and anti-Trump vitriol. Nope. They want power, and they're willing to tear it all down in order to take control. 

I find it especially interesting that this year's DNC summer convention is being held in Chicago, almost 50 years to the day of the 1968 DNC Convention riots. What's the main topic of conversation? Superdelegates. Man oh man, it's gonna be awesome.

I’m guessing the DNC machine was shocked.  Now Crowley has been picked up by a third party, and as of now, will be on the ballot in Nov.  Says he’s not running, but didn’t remove his name?  Sounds fishy to me.  Politics & politicians - they remind me of The Game of Thrones.

Sounds to me like Joe has seen the writing on the wall about the direction the Dimwits are headed and decided to let someone else, who is Positively a Socialist take the fall, & give him a better shot to get back into the spot he was already occupying...

What would be hilarious is if his name being on the ballot with hers again splits the dim vote and opens the door for the gopper to take the seat.

PELOSI: “No, they did. They made a choice in one district. So let’s not get yourself carried away as an expert on demographics and the rest of that. Within the caucus or outside the caucus, we are — again, we have an array of genders, generations, geography, and there is opinion in our caucus, and we’re proud of that.

”An ARRAY of GENDERS??”😳😂😂😂😂😂

Ocasio-Cortez draws ire from Democrats
 

Quote

Some legislators are voicing concerns that Ocasio-Cortez appears set on using her newfound star power to attack Democrats from the left flank, threatening to divide the party — and undermine its chances at retaking the House — in a midterm election year when leaders are scrambling to form a united front against President Trump and Republicans. 

The members are not mincing words, warning that Ocasio-Cortez is making enemies of soon-to-be colleagues even before she arrives on Capitol Hill, as she’s expected to do after November’s midterms.

“She’s carrying on and she ain’t gonna make friends that way,” said Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.). “Joe conceded, wished her well, said he would support her … so she doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about. She’s not asking my advice, but I would do it differently, rather than make enemies of people.” 

Asked if Ocasio-Cortez is, indeed, making enemies of fellow Democrats, Pascrell didn’t hesitate. 

“Yes,” he said. “No doubt about it.”

Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) offered a similar message, saying success in the 435-member House comes slowly — and hinges largely on the ability of lawmakers to forge constructive relationships with other members. Alienating more senior lawmakers within your own party, he warned, will only stifle the ability of Ocasio-Cortez to get anything done — even despite her newfound celebrity.

“Meteors fizz out,” Hastings said. “What she will learn in this institution is that it’s glacial to begin with, and therefore no matter how far you rise, that’s just how far you will ultimately get your comeuppance.”

She has got the liberal talking points down pat (tax the rich, cut the military) ....

Absolutely.  And all Republicans are racist and all conservatives learn everything they know from FOX News.  Those four talking points can get you nominated for president of the Dem Party.
