Democrat 2020 hopefuls eye coveted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsement



    Ben Riley-Smith, US Editor

She is the great young hope of America’s Left-wing, an articulate and impassioned progressive whose policies have gained traction and Twitter feed is followed by four million.

Now Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 29-year-old first-time congressman from New York, is seeing her newfound political clout manifest in a new way – a race for her endorsement.

With two dozen Democrats seeking their party’s presidential nomination, the support of Ms Ocasio-Cortez is being seen as a way to win over the young, energised voters who will help shape the race.

Chief among the contenders are Bernie Sanders, the independent 77-year-old senator from Vermont, and Elizabeth Warren, the former academic now representing Massachusetts in the Senate.

Both have made tacit acknowledgement of Ms Ocasio-Cortez’s influence in public in recent weeks – whether for policy reasons, or for political gain, or both.

I wonder how this "bartender" stuff redounds to your friendly bottle-washer at The Members Lounge.  She's more trained than I.

Who in their right mind considers her "articulate"?
Seriously the only time she can put more than two words together is when someone else writes them for her.

@Cyber Liberty

Me,too. In fact,I THINK I may be the first one to hang that sign around their necks. It's not nice to generalize,but almost all of them seem to deserve that tag,and EVERY ONE we read about or hear about daily in the news. The "good ones" have a hard time getting mentioned in their local papers,never mind nationally.
