She reminds me of a left wing Palin. She quickly runs out of depth when confronted with serious questioning. The media will of course do their best to see she never has to face that level of questioning, but I expect that like Palin she will plateau much sooner than Obama who was a fairly smooth speaker and who could draw on enough education to BS his way past most questions.

Personally I hope Ocasio-Cortez becomes a model for the new Democratic party. Sure she will help them with some latino vote, but the total slide to the socialist left is going to keep alienating the middle, thats a path to survival for the GOP.


The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
