Elizabeth Warren: ‘Fearless leader’ AOC, army of ‘millions’ are ‘just getting started’
GOPUSA StaffWashington Times Posted On 7:40 am April 18, 2019
 

Sen. Elizabeth Warren told Time this week that the future of America will be teeming with “millions” of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s supporters.

The Massachusetts Democrat contributed to the magazine’s list of 100 influential people on Wednesday by casting her colleague as the future of the party.

“Her commitment to putting power in the hands of the people is forged in fire,” she wrote of the New Yorker. “Coming from a family in crisis and graduating from school with a mountain of debt, she fought back against a rigged system and emerged as a fearless leader in a movement committed to demonstrating what an economy, a planet and a government that works for everyone should look like.”

With Warren's statement commending AOC as the future of the party, I think AOC should be taken seriously and not just some bat crap crazy person that will eventually fade away.  I see this new wave of younger DEMS as a formidable threat to our society.

Revolutionaries are always popular among the masses, right up until the moment the shooting starts.

And, some long after - after ignorance has taken hold:

And hopefully WHEN it starts, the reactionaries' aim will be true!

Agreed.

However, back when politics seemed to have some rational basis for me, there was a saying "if you're younger than 25 and you're not a liberal you have no heart, and if you're older than 25 and you're not conservative you have no brain."  For 30 years the press has told me the rats always get the youth vote, but look at the rats in office and their candidates for President.  They're mostly a few bad years from a hospice.  How does that happen?

After 40 straight years of rat rule in the House of Representatives, the GOP took control in 1994 and except for the last 2 years of Dubya, and the first 2 years of Obama they held it until 2018.  Those House seats become Senate and Governor seats later...and eventually they become President.  The rats have had a crappy farm team for a long time.

The rats got some life support in 2018 with the record number of democrat women and minorities President Trump elected to Congress.  Could be the start of a trend, and politics has a history of being cyclical.  I wouldn't underestimate AOC either when President Trump proves daily that one man's "bat crap crazy," is another man's "Make America Great."

So, it's President Trump's fault that 34 Rs decided not to run in '18?

Everything is Trump's fault around here.

It will not surprise me, if Romney, Flake begin coming out supporting AOC, Warren, Sanders etc.

Millions sounds almost impressive, until you divide by 1024.

For some people nothing is his fault.

How pathetic and demeaning for Lizzie to feel compelled to suck up to the new stupidest member of Congress (or at least tied for stupidest with Mad Maxine).

Warren is trying to make herself relevant and I agree, it makes her pathetic.
