Oh, the times they are a changinā.
ut-oh
It seems the blue tsunami has made landfall on the east coast.
Congrats to her and all the winners tonight.
The only thing that makes me nervous is how the opposition will use the Socialist part of her party affiliation name against her in the run up to the general election.
This is more great news for the Democratic wing of the Democratic party. Regardless of the conventional neo-liberal narrative, progressives are having a relatively good primary season. Congratulations to Orcasio-Cortez!
The district voted 78 - 20, for Hillary in 2016. I am not to worried about repugs winning it.
Yep
It also means that House Democratic leadership misread the opposition out on the street.
That district is hard blue.
Sheās going to Congress in '19.
Can you hear me now?
Crowley looks a lot like me, but Ocasio-Cortez sounds a lot like me. I live in AZ but this definitely makes me happy.
Absolutely! Bern Baby Bern!
Pelosiās been misreading āthe opposition out on the streetā since 2010.
Democrats which fit their district win. Some are moderate some more progressive.
2018 mid-terms are important and should cross across all partisan lines including moderate vs. progressive Democrat.
If sane conservatives are willing to flip Congress because itās that important canāt progressives do the same?
Jared Polis, liberal congressman (more centrist) just won the primary for CO gubernatorial primary.
Saw that earlier.
R party has to be shitting its collective pants.
This is my district. Ocasio-Cortez folk were all over the place the last two weeks - including two visits to my apt, two texts, and a phone call today.
So much for the National Democrats maintaining rigid control of the future of the party. Apparently they are going to have to embrace young people and progressive ideas even if doing so repels them.
I live close but not my district. Good on her. Crowley is a reliable democratic vote but the party needs younger leadership and at least he will not be in line for Speaker. I detest committee assignments based on seniority so she will have get at the back of the queueā¦ But at least people turned out for her. The party has room for democrats from all sides of the spectrum so I hope she wins in November. Hope she drops the socialist thing.though.
Donnie-
Wow! Big Trump Hater Congressman Joe Crowley, who many expected was going to take Nancy Pelosiās place, just LOST his primary election. In other words, heās out! That is a big one that nobody saw happening. Perhaps he should have been nicer, and more respectful, to his President!
Schmuck thinks heās god?
