    Man oh man! If I see one more news clip, or read one more article in my paper about that newest whiz Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, my mind is going to explode! I fail to see why the media and what is portrayed as being a large majority of the people in America, is infatuated with this big mouth, socialist spouting whirlwind of a female?

    Do any of you all see what all the fuss is about, and if you do, please explain to me just what makes her the flavor of the month?

    The media is responsible for this. They hang on her every word, giving her attention she hasn't earned and certainly doesn't deserve.

    I keep waiting for an adult democrat, if there is any such thing, to put her in her place.

    Similar popularity was given to Barack Obama including a later undeserved (IMO) Peace Prize grant.

    She (AOC) is being primed.

    I try not to read the drive-by's. But I think it all has to do with location. AOC is located in New York where they are located, so it is an easy matter to interview her and have something in print.

    She won her endorsement by upsetting a longtime incumbent. She's social media savvy. Most of the Democrat establishment are old people. She appeals to millennials.

    The media is not the only group that is obsessed with her. Conservatives are showing an awful lot of attention to her. She's an easy target, for sure. But c'mon...

    Republicans would be wise to drop Pelosi as the object of their scorn and promote Ocasio-Cortez to that spot for the 2020 elections. Basically she should be ridiculed just like Dan Quayle was ridiculed by Democrats in 1992.

    She is not old enough to be eligible for the presidency in 2020 or 2024.

    Of course if the progressives win in 2020 they can change that for 2024.

    They would need a constitutional amendment for that, no way that would be ratified in all those states.

    I am tired of her, most of the MSM promote her to promote her agenda they agree with (identity politics and socialism), and her congressional district is geographically friendly to them. If you want to know who and what is behind AOC, it's this group:

    Justice Democrats - Wikipedia

    notice they couldn't win except in the most left-wing areas. AOC was never really that different from the guy she knocked off in the primary except he was a leftist Irishman, she was a POC Bernie supporter:

    Two Very Different Democrats, Joe Crowley and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Squared Off in Debate Friday Night

    I don't think AOC is nearly as stupid as she pretends to be, she dumbs herself down for her base. But she is the current face of the vapid, over but poorly educated socialist millennial and she will be neutralized.

    She's young, she's hip, and a hard core leftist - all the things that the media needs in a person to sing her praises. She is a media creation just like Obama was and thankfully is not of the required age to run for the presidency, so we still have time yet. In our present time however we might have to deal with the likes of Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke - he is sure to be the media's favorite.

    In her mind she is not stupid, but to many of us she is. She supposedly has a degree in economics but you could have fooled me with the ideas that she has put forward. Even though socialism on the scale she wants force on the nation has failed everywhere it has been tried, to a true believer like her it will finally work because she will be in charge of it's implementation.

    I think in the end cooler Democrat heads will prevail. Does anyone really think that politicians like Pelosi and other rich Democrats are going to allow the current system to be discarded which would cause them to lose most of their money? Don't bet on it.

    She reminds me of my daughter when she was 7 years old. Cute as a button, talked a mile a minute, and thought she knew everything at such a tender age.

    Never suggested that she was old enough or that she would be running for President. I suggested that Republicans drop Pelosi as their target within the Democratic party and replace her with AOC.

    Now there is a Democrat whose hype and popularity needs to be explained.

    True. She's a lot dumber than most. Always good for a truly idiotic quote.

    Now, now, are you making fun of American airheads? Did you hear her say that she didn't know why they are called buffalo wings when they are chicken?

    You are right that she is not as stupid as she acts. She really is quite dangerous and a total antiChrist. Her parents are fairly rich and she has had the best of everything. Like a lot of the aristocracy, she wants the lower classes to be caged in the poverty of socialism and to be totally at the mercy of the aristocracy.

    Ain't that the truth. Irish Beto got the Hispanic vote over Hispanic Cruz. I think that El Paso has sunk into leftist irrelevancy allowing dummy Beto to mesmerize the public.

    No. I hope the Dems keep her front and center. She will lead them right over the cliff.
