That will be even more true if the democrat candidate is one of the more extreme socialists.

Saying he is a horrible president and horrible person is just my opinion based on observable evidence - not hatred.

We all have opinions and elbows, Aldebaran.

An opinion of Trump as president is not the equivalency of using the Nword.

You have engaged in a fallacy of false equivalency.

What was your opinion of Obama? What would I find if I retrieve your comments on him.

Pelosi on the New Green Deal:

"It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive. The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they're for it, right?"

Doesn't seem very welcoming to me.

Agree.

or said another way, She's a young, charismatic idealist who's ideas need to be debated, scrutinized and evaluated.

and as an aside "loose cannon" would be a compliment to some of our elected leaders.
Isn't that why a lot of people voted for Trump?

That alpone doesn't answer the question of whether or not she has been promoted patronized, pushed forward, or put on a pedestal by party leaders in a way that is unusual considering her shortcomings.
She hasn't been.

Oh, please, the only reason miss ex-bartender got voted in was cause her opponent didn't campaign and only the hardcore voted. She won the primary by like 9,000 votes. Not some overwhelmingly number. LOL
She beat a 10-term incumbent by 15% points. That is huge.

Are you seriously comparing the "leader" of the free world to a first-term congresswoman, 1 representative out of 435?

That is exactly why she is getting so much attention. Conservatives keep giving it to her.

That certainly doesn't make it clean energy though, does it?

The original NGD proposed getting rid of natural gas and even nuclear energy, which produces no emissions at all aside from water vapor.
Nuclear energy may not produce much in the way of emissions (it isn't zero BTW) but it does have the little problem with disposing of those spent fuel rods.

Why is the news media making such a big deal over her? I don't get it.
The common Dem / Media fears has found an outlet to their insane instability over impeaching or at least suppressing Trump, which I classify as political detoxification from what the Obama yrs wound up grooming them for, dreams which have turned into nightmares.

Which explains why they could not understand why the President patriotically embraced the flag at CPAC.

Gimme a break! She beat him 15,897 to 11,761, a 4,000 vote win. Only the die-hards voted in a district with one million people. 127,000 voted in the general election, which was 100,000 more votes.

Her fans don't see her, they see the fake version of her the media creates by covering up as many of the terrible things she's said and done as possible. Her fans aren't interested in reality or the disastrous consequences of leftist policies, they're interested in the Goodfeels they get when they continue to believe in the "Leftism good" lie.

Remember when she threatened a man's life on twitter?

Which we don't know how to do yet.

And let's not delve into the fact that the US Navy doesn't know what to do with retired nuclear propulsion cores.

I'll say it again since you don't seem to get it:

Also, her district only has about 690,000 people, not 1M. 141,000 (not 127,000) people voted in the general election and she 110,000 of those votes. 91,000 more than the Republican challenger. Do you also think Trump had the largest attendance of any presidential inauguration in history?

14th Congressional District (ethnicity)
********************************

Ocasio-Cortez represents the 14th NY Congressional District that is 49.80% Hispanic - unlike the Republicans, the Democratic Party has attracted candidates whose "ethnicity" actually reflects those they are elected to represent!

So I think the news media, especially conservative media, pays more attention to her then a lot of Democrats. But even with that, she is getting some attention and I think it's a for a combination of factors. She's a young Latina in an organization that leans heavily towards old white men, she does have some radical ideas, but she's willing to put them out there. Her ideas are no more radical then some of the stuff Paul Ryan put out, but they are still out of the mainstream of Congressional thought even if younger Americans in general identify with some of them. And the third thing, which I think is truly what makes her stand out even among her fellow progressive millennial colleagues, is that she really has a mean social media game. She's really good on social media, and that is what her grassroots pays attention to. Honestly I doubt she would ever be interested in President, but I wouldn't be surprised if she tries to primary Schumer or Gilldebrand the next time they are up for reelection, assuming she's old enough.
