    1. What color do you think she is?

    2. Nobody in the GOP feels threatened by her. She's the priceless gift that keeps on giving. Pretty sure her emergence has caused several million Dems to consider switching parties before 2020.

    Not clear that the old folks have done a bang-up job at that lately.

    That's absolutely fair, I get it. It would probably do good to have a mix that worked together well. A lot of the problem with the olds is most of them are establishment guys (I guess some girls too), but mostly old white dudes that have just trucked a long doing the same crap year after year and as long as their states haven't burned to the ground no one cares enough to get them out of office. I'm definitely for washing away a lot of the people that have made a living in Washington. I just don't like the idea of having a bunch of "young" people taking charge and running things.

    I think I'm much older than you, and I'm absolutely fine with it. I'd rather see the country run by the 30-55 demographic than the 55-80 crowd that runs it now.

    She's one of them, a career politician and nothing but a mouthpiece for hire, same as the rest of the swamp.

    I’m 34, and the crowd that runs it now, we’ll they suck. My age crowd though... you guys think Trump is bad... Twitter is basically my demographic and well... no thanks.

    One of my favorite Seinfeld episodes is when George Constanta realizes he needs to do or think the exact opposite of everything his instinct tells him. For some reason this reminds me of you. Like it’s almost if you intentionally write the opposite of what’s true. It’s not like “well that’s a different opinion, ok”. It’s “that is literally the opposite of truth”. This is why I think you are a well designed robot that has been planted here to keep the place going.

    That’s a great episode. I’ve got some friends who should probably take that approach for their love lives. Heh. :)

    1. It's a scenario that is offered and not a fact;
    2. Pretty sure she's attracted Millions of voters both Democratic and other.

    If you met him in person you'd be compelled to call him classy regardless of his politics.

    I always liked wook….first time he's insulted me here. AOC is just a young first term freshman and right wingers are stirring up McCarthyistic "find the commie" rhetoric that I think is pretty shallow.

    Gee river, it seems just too far. I can't see why you took a personal offense to Wook's post.
    I think AOC is sort of and interesting young woman, but I also think it weird as hell that she actually managed to get people to want her to represent them. Really Strange!

    Now you might ask, what do I really think? OK, I think she is dumber that a box of rocks, but look! Holy hell, she has all the current Candidates on the Dem side supporting her
    Green New deal, pulled straight out of the workings of the wisdom of a rock.

    Of course on the, other hand, dumber than a box of rock sit well on other dems also, like the current leader of the Dems, Nancy Box of Rocks.

    But take no offense please, I would not ever intend to offend you.

    This is the way to discuss the OP.....I disagree about your take on intelligence of both those women but at least you made it about them....nothing personal in your post. I'm glad Trump supporters think Pelosi is dumb.....because she's actually very, very smart whether you agree or not.....hope Trump takes her for granted....Trump calls these women "savages"...says a lot about his character....everything I've heard from AOC has come from the right wings insults at her ...she's not getting her policy into law with the current Congress....she's just planting seeds

    Perhaps you don't like the savage part. Well Box of Rock is just a little more on target when speaking of people that ignore our system of selecting a leader under our Constitution.

    We just experienced a time when the opposition candidate, in 2016 was investigated by the in-power administration for the first time in our history.
    Now as we enter a Presidential election year, we have the house majority leaders in the House, talking impeachment instead of defeating the President at the ballot box.
    Impeachment without any clear evidence of a crime. Impeachment as an alternative to defeating the person in the election. That certainly is ignoring our rule of law,
    our national tradition, totally void of any respect for due process under our Constitution.

    However, they may not be quite as dumb as a box of rock, not real smart, but devious. They likely know they can not win against the indomitable Trump, so they hatch the
    low life plan of replacing the election with impeachment. We have never seen this before, it is setting a new standard in decorum. A new point in history.

    I suspect it shall fail, if not, then we all deserve the leadership, you can expect from a box of Rocks.
