McCaskill on Ocasio-Cortez: ‘I’m a little confused why she’s the thing’
By Avery Anapol - 12/26/18 07:45 AM EST

Outgoing Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill (Mo.) says that she is “a little confused” by the rapid rise of incoming Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)

In an exit interview with CNN, McCaskill said she wishes Ocasio-Cortez well, but advised the rising Democratic star to walk the walk.

"I'm a little confused why she's the thing,” McCaskill told CNN. “But it's a good example of what I'm talking about, a bright shiny new object, came out of nowhere and surprised people when she beat a very experienced congressman."

Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described Democratic socialist, shocked the political world when she unseated longtime Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley in New York's 14th Congressional District’s primary earlier this year.

First she blames mysterious Right Wing groups for her loss and now she is confused why a Socialist is popular in a party that promotes Socialism. This woman is an idiot.

Democrats have cultivated the dopey, radical youth vote for decades and AOC is what you get. Why would McCaskill be surprised?
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

She's the thing because unlike you, she is up front, open, and honest with her hard line communist views.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
What makes AOC real for the Dems is that she could be their poster girl.  She represents their platform exactly.  The Dems have gone communist, and she is not afraid to tell it like it is.

I'll never vote for another Democommie the rest of my life!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
