    The Lefties never seem to notice the programming that comes down from on high. This week, the WORD is TREASON.

    This is stupid. Just like Johnsons "Aleppo moment". There is a big difference between ignorant and stupid. And an even bigger difference between ignorant and (stupid + arrogant).

    Yeah, this girl is beyond naive and really comes across as a clueless airhead. Unless she grows a brain between now and November, she's going to get eaten up in the debates. She should have known the answer to the questions asked given the fact she degreed in international relations.

    So, she like the rest of the democratic party never have a REAL platform to run on but instead toss out all the freebies they'll give away if elected, in other words they only know how to BUY votes.

    I don't know. Trump was absolutely pathetic during the debates and he still won.

    He didn't run on freebies and giving the country away. His platform was the complete opposite offering jobs...a means for which people can regain their self worth and self esteem by getting off the couch and making something of themselves. Pay taxes, don't expect to be coddled, and help the country while also helping themselves...HUGE DIFFERENCE.

    There is no Palestine. The West Bank was won in the six day war. They are making sure the world knows it. The West Bank, by the way, isn't Palestine either. It was a part of Jordan.

    What did you major in?

    Ocasio-Cortez, 28, a former organizer for Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign and a onetime staffer for the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, ran on an unalloyed leftist progressive platform, calling for a "political revolution" that includes Medicare and higher education for all, gun control measures, an end to private prisons and the abolition of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

    https://www.npr.org/2018/06/27/623752094/who-is-alexandria-ocasio-cortez

    From 2003 to 2007, Ocasio-Cortez attended Yorktown High School, where she won second prize in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with a research project on microbiology.

    As a result, the International Astronomical Union named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez.

    In high school, she took part in the National Hispanic Institute's Lorenzo de Zalvala (LDZ) Youth Legislative Session.

    She later became the LDZ Secretary of State while she attended Boston University. Ocasio-Cortez had a John F. Lopez Fellowship.

    During college, she was an intern in the immigration office of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy.

    She graduated fourth in her class from Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in economics and international relations.

    LOLOL.. It was Palestine.. and it was settled by four Arab tribes in 700 BC.

    BTW, Israel attacked Egypt in 1967 because they wanted fertile soil and more water assets.

    I can't watch youtube at work. Sorry.

    There is a big difference. One is where you have been told the info and either choose to ignore it or simply do not acknowledge it.

    The other is that you simply were unaware.

    She's well educated from a great school .. majored in international relations and economics. America still needs people who are more than computer techs.

    calling it "Palestine" doesn't change the fact that there were Jewish kingdoms there for more than 1,000 years and the Jews were the dominant ethnicity/religion for centuries more.

    "Palestinian" only became an identity in the 1950s.

    Look at any old Bible published before 1948.. The old maps say Palestine.. No matter what you call them they have been in Palestine for thousands of years.

    The platforms were different but the cluelessness is the same. I've learned to never underestimate the abject stupidity of the average American voter.

    She should get her money back on that degree. I often thought that about Obama as well. He put back the value of a Harvard education to that of a degree out of a cereal box. He should get his money back as well, oh wait, he never paid for that education did he? Well the nation of Islam should get their money back from Harvard then.

    Just keep sticking a microphone in her face, she will sink herself.

    So what? It’s a minor mistake after and one that isn’t really even fully off from reality. At least she admitted her minor mistake of a poorly-chosen word instead of doubling-down on stupid and then going to twitter later to cry about be treated unfairly.

    That, in itself, is refreshing.

    By the way, I do not support her campaign.
