From a CNN story...

Ocasio-Cortez's own story begins in the Bronx, the same borough that, along with parts of Queens, delivered for her on primary day. She was born and raised there, the daughter of working class Puerto Rican parents -- her father born in the South Bronx (he died in 2008, while she was in college); her mother on the island -- she went on to study at Boston University and work in the the office of liberal lion Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.

When she returned home, Ocasio-Cortez worked as a community organizer and, eventually, with economic stresses rooted in the recession and the loss of her father taking hold, began low-wage, long-hour work at restaurants to help support her family.

Sounds like no to 1 and 2. Who knows about 3 and 4. She did tweet out something about Cynthia Nixon this morning if that means anything.

I used to live in the Bronx (1971 to 77). When I was growing up as a kid there in the 'lovely' 1970's, that borough was 1/3 white, 1/3 hispanic and 1/3 black basically. Now it's 40 percent black, 40 percent hispanic and about 10 percent white. I'm shocked a white man would have been running unopposed in that district for years (although the district does encompass parts of Queens too which likely would have been much more white than the Bronx).

Sounds like the Democrat party's answer to Trump is to move further and further left. And elect more women. Which will likely leave us with Warren, Gillibrand or Harris in 2 years to run against Trump.

It's always scary when you see "Community Organizer" as an earlier primary job...........you just know it leads to someone being a loony leftist.....

Honestly I think he lost because he pulled a no-show at a debate. Talk about not caring about your constituents. As long as he has been in politics he should have easily been able to counter all of her hard left socialist campaign positions.

I read that he hasn't had a primary opponent in over a decade.

Plus, Crowley (who ranks #4) has now shockingly been defeated.

I don’t even know who their #5 is.

They’re clearly not sending their best...

Community Organizer = un-hireable, glorified bum whose entire existence is based upon starting riots and disturbing the peace.

The shift to the far left is in the process of happening in the Democrat party. The only item that connects the far left and mainstream Democrats is their hatred of our President. Hardly something to build a party on. The vast majority of Americans will not support far left candidates. Sure, California, NY and other liberal states will have more support for them, but on a national level they will not be elected.

I'd bet you that once it all comes out I'll be proven right (again) but on the other hand, I'd never see a penny of that money from you anyway.....

So are your denigrating comments and assumptions just pulled out of thin air? A 'gut feeling'? Or baked off some underlying prejudice? Is it because she's a liberal? Woman? Democratic socialist? Puerto Rican? Have a thing against the Bronx?

Not that I'm in any way happy a hard left socialist beat him, but if he hasn't even been challenged in that long then this is a good thing and should be a wakeup call to all politicians that get too comfortable on their thrones.

not to jump in you two's **** salad, but I'd wager his assumptions has something to do with the way "community orgainzers" that make the news generally behave and the things they have "organized". Many are little more than agitators. (Not saying this woman is)

An hispanic socialist. What could go wrong?

She's already embarrassing herself, claiming that "black sites" are operating at the border. She's also an anti-Semite, so I got my popcorn ready for when the media pin her down on that issue.

OK, I agree somewhat with that first line.

I'd change it to this:

Add "leftists"
Medicare for all leftists

Take out "medicine, vision, dental &"
Leave "mental health care"


So I'm good with it reading like this:

Medicare for all leftists - mental health care

I mean, the definitely need it, and we'd all end up a lot better off if they could find a cure.
