That's been a no brainer since very early on.

If you want a place in Congress, you don't piss off Israel by making reference to "the Palestinian occupation".

I knew that she was a flash in the pan the instant I heard her say it.

I’ll buy that, and a contested primary will get her in the news four times a day. Priceless.

She was put there with only about 10,000 votes (primary). It really wouldn't take much for an actual intelligent democrat to unseat her in that district. She's never been challenged in person, such as a debate with anyone with over middle school education, and would completely implode in any confrontation with any opponent.

I have mixed feelings on this. Ideally I'd LOVE to see a conservative take her out, but probably not going to happen in her district. But if you replace a total whackjob like AOC with someone who comes across as convincing but votes the same as AOC, it accomplishes nothing and is probably worse because they're actually taken seriously.

The pension deal is just like any other government pension deal. It's proportional to time served and income. It's not full pay after 5 years.

I have to hope AOC wins the primary. She'd be the easiest for an R to beat in Nov., not that I would expect any R to have the slightest chance in that district.

Yup. 5 years, so three terms.

1.7% per year, after reaching age requirements.

If she's voted out, there goes half of my entertainment.

If she does win the primary, she will just get crazier on the way to her run in 2024.

Although Michelle Caruso-Cabrerra is a registered Democrat, she has had the nerve to espouse a few conservative points of view on CNBC, a brave thing to do, albeit potentially foolhardy (witness: she is no longer an anchor, just a "contributor). The last time that happened Maria Bartiromo picked up her marbles and moved to Fox Business where she excels. I wish Michelle all the best in the primary.
