Dems' long knives unsheathed on Ocasio-Cortez on Meet the Press
By Thomas Lifson

When a prominent Democrat has lost Chuck Todd, the handwriting is on the wall.

Three days ago, I predicted that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was sealing her fate when she took (and probably deserved) credit for killing the deal that would have brought 25,000 high-paying Amazon jobs to New York City.  It's not that the young woman with boundless self-confidence in her views has no clue about how tax incentives work (though that is obviously true, since she crowed that the $3 billion in tax abatements could be spent on subways, schools, and the like).  Ignorance and simple-mindedness are no obstacles to a Democrat winning approval from party bosses.



No, Sandy O's real infraction was in exposing and opposing the sweetheart deals between Democrats and the tech oligarchy.  Both sides to the Grand Bargain see it as a key to their goals.  The Democrats want and need the tech titans' thumbs on the scale in digital discourse and campaign donations from them.  The new-age monopolists need antitrust protection for their market dominance, government contracts (see: Amazon's DOD cloud deal), and access so their concerns can be heard early, privately, and effectively, before the general public has a clue as to what is being protected, given away, or winked at.

Yesterday, we saw the first video fruits of Democrats' need to undermine and eventually unseat the Queens phenom on Meet the Press.  Both Mayor Bill de Blasio and host Chuck Todd impugned her intelligence.  Here is the full eight-minute segment:

I don't think they will primary her, but run an independent against her.

How confusing it must be for the millennials to see one communist impugn another! Which of their totalitarian idols should be followed?

They will do whatever it takes to make sure she is not there in 2021.

The train wreck has to be good for the GOP, shame that a good number of people think this way.  I can picture 2020 elections being tight, i can also picture it being a 1984 styled blowout against the Rainbow coalition.

It was a weekend, actually 3 day weekend going on... but I haven't heard too much since. They may try to rein them in.

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.

She may not be, but not because they can "force her out", but because if there's a Senate seat from New York up for election in 2020, she may run for it... and win  !
