Some Dems float idea of primary challenge for Ocasio-Cortez
By Scott Wong - 01/29/19 06:00 AM EST

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has infuriated colleagues by aligning with a progressive outside group that’s threatening to primary entrenched Democrats. Now some of those lawmakers are turning the tables on her and are discussing recruiting a primary challenger to run against the social media sensation.

At least one House Democrat has been privately urging members of the New York delegation to recruit a local politician from the Bronx or Queens to challenge Ocasio-Cortez.

“What I have recommended to the New York delegation is that you find her a primary opponent and make her a one-term congressperson,” the Democratic lawmaker, who requested anonymity, told The Hill. “You’ve got numerous council people and state legislators who’ve been waiting 20 years for that seat. I’m sure they can find numerous people who want that seat in that district.”

In that district, it could work but you would just replace her with somebody else with the same crazy ideas

New Yorkers are dumb enough to keep her around for decades.  She isn't going anywhere.

Plus, she is one of the best people working for the GOP.  Her voice will send voters away from the Democommie Party.  Just can't buy that kind of PR.
