Meet Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez’s GOP challenger, Scherie Murray: ‘There’s a crisis in Queens and it’s

Her biggest issue is the self serving need to be in the spotlight. Rep Cortez seems more concerned with her national profile than sponsoring bills. Spouting off irksome tweets is not the entire job.

 

Crooked Hillary sure did.

The word was that Hillary had a complete mental meltdown when she learned that the polls were wrong and she lost and she completely trashed her hotel room.

It's hard to believe that one person could cause $376,076.12 of damage to one hotel room.

 

Why be scared? She is almost guaranteed to so label a white opponent.

 

Joe Crowley is ruined. He'll be forever known as 'the guy who got beat by the socialist nitwit' and his political career is dead and buried.

 

She's a Republican, and the Hispanics and hipsters in that BlueBorg district wouldn't vote for a Republican even with a gun held to their heads.

Nope, she doesn't stand a chance. It will be fun to watch her keep throwing the Amazon debacle in AOC's face though.

If AOC goes go down, it'll be Democrats that sunk the daggers in her back, and there's a very good chance that that will happen.

I pray it doesn't, because AOC is the gift that keeps on giving to the GOP.

 

If they have jobs and are seeing their incomes increase and they are paying less in taxes they just might. I would rather see another conservative novice in the Congress.

 

I think it was more a voter complacency fluke. It was only a 17% turnout. She has 13% reelection support.

 

I was living in Louisiana at the time. It is unique in how they do it a runoff can be between two people or the same party to win the office. And you just walk in and say I'm running for this office as a [insert party name], it doesn't mean the party is supporting you or anything. Duke is and always has been an opportunist. The best thing for him is for Democrats and the MSM to give him some kind of credibility. He then can fundraise on that "LOOK what the left is saying about me and attacking me on national TV send my your money to support our cause" whatever that cause is. It's been his motis operindi throughout his career.

 

I'm sorry, what? I don't get what you're saying although she would make a great face for it.

 

It's satire on the idea that certain dems now are the face of the Democratic Party

 

Well certain Dems ARE the fact of the Democrats Party it certainly isn't Nancy Pelosi. And that's exactly what Trump wants.

 

Nancy is still the leader no matter what anyone states...Although I wish she wasn't but....

 

In name only the squad is dictating policy and positions. Nancy's a racist why do the Democrats keep her as Speaker of the House? How racist of them not to have a woman of color in that position.

 

That is what makes us all happy that our representatives are up for election every two years. I welcome any debate on ideas and policy in every district. The fact that AOC unseated a sitting Congressman last time shows how volatile that district can be.

 

That's very interesting. For the last thirty years or so, I was under the impression that Duke had actually won the Republican primary in Louisiana. And it stoked all my Texan prejudices about Cajun in-breeding, etc. ... (just prejudices, I never actually believed it!). Of course it suits Republicans to elevate Al Sharpton as the face of the Democrats, just as it suits Democrats to elevate the most backward Southern fundamentalist ignoramus as the face of the Republicans. (David Duke is the equivalent of Louis Farrakhan, and in fact they would get along very well, both believing the same thing. Just as Duke's predecessor, George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder and head of the American Nazi Party, was an invited guest at a Nation of Islam meeting in Chicago.)

 

Ahhh it's not Republicans going to kiss Al Sharpton's ring begging his endorsement that is every Democrat front running candidate. It's not David Duke with his own national cable show on a major news network.

 

Again I think it had more to do with complacency. He was way ahead in the polls as usual no one thought he had a chance of losing and only 17% turned out. AOC was even shocked she won.

 

It was a complete ambush. AOC's puppetmasters (the Justice Democrats PAC), saw a complacent and vulnerable incumbent in a district that had significantly shifted demographics with an influx of Hispanics. The PAC handpicked their puppet, and ran a campaign that was strictly identity politics in a district that was extremely susceptible to being suckered by such tactics.

Voter apathy combined with a simplistic, race-based "Hispanics, you should vote for this Hispanic" campaign worked like a charm, the 4th-ranked Democrat was destroyed, and, in his place, the DNC was infected with the political disease that is AOC.

Amazingly enough, this wasn't a psyops orchestrated by the GOP. The Democrats actually did this to themselves.

Astonishing, but there it is.

 

Yep, her reelect bid will be quite interesting and I bet it gets dirty.

 

Crowley is pulling strings behind the scenes, and he's out for vengeance.

 

Corrected should have read

"Yep, her reelect.."

 

Yeah, I figured you meant "her" an in AOC.

Certainly not "he" as in Joe Crowley. His political career is over. The stink of failure is never coming off him.

 

Yes, absolutely right.
However, to be fair, Sharpton is not quite the symmetrical equivalent of Duke. After he incites the lynching of a Jew, or makes some anti-Semitic remark, he, like Jesse Jackson doing the same thing, is careful to walk back from it by telling liberals what they want to hear.

The real equivalent to David Duke would be Louis Farrakhan. Mainstream Democrats of course disavow Farrakhan, but those to their Left sometimes treat him like they treat all seriously-pious Muslims -- as potential allies, whose extremely reactionary views on Jews, women, homosexuals, should be overlooked because of the value of having a strong ally who hates liberal democracy even more consistently than they do. Sharpton and Farrakhan of course have the immense advantage over Duke of being able to play on liberals' white guilt, of which there is no equivalent for Duke.

 

To be absolutely fair, I wonder how Republicans/conservatives responded when the horrible race hustler, rapist, murderer and former Black Panther Party leader and Peace and Freedom Party presidential candidate Eldridge Cleaver announced that he had become a conservative and Republican?

As I recall it was a decent silence, and the case is not parallel because they didn't pander to him, just the opposite. But I wouldn't be surprised if a few gullible souls didn't say something embarrassing.

Yep, here it is. Republicans are so painfully keen not to be racist, and to refute that dirty lie that the Left loves to use, that they abandoned their critical faculties here. I think they've been wiser more recently -- there have been a couple of Black Presidential would-be's in the Republican primaries, but, despite their obvious merits, they weren't really qualified. If only one of them had put forward the program that Mr Trump did, instead of the mainstream Republicanism they did avow.

 

Did Republican candidates for high office have to go kiss his ring? Does he have a show on Fox News? Did he repudiate his former views and acts? I find it hard to equate Cleaver with Sharpton vis-a-vis fame and political influence.
