After all, she represents a lefty district and none of those people will ever vote for a Republican, right? She will have to face a Republican in November, Anthony Pappas. But ...game over, she can buy her plane ticket to Washington now.

Well, maybe. But there are some interesting complications.

Number one, the pair of them, Joe Crowley and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the two Democrats, are now openly fighting on Twitter. Based on the Tweets, it sounds as though it's even more bitter than it appears. Ocasio-Cortez started it, tweeting this one:

LOL. Absurd. This is a total Rat Hipster district. She caught a break with super low turn out because of the goofy NY primary laws. Come the general she will win by a mile because there are some big elections on the ballot.

The incumbent is still on the ballot.

Even with Crowley and Cortez splitting the leftist vote, the Republican will probably still finish a distant third, around 10% or so like always.
