The interviews I've seen with her since her 'win' show her really struggling to actually come up with a message that will sell. She obviously had no idea whatsoever that she would actually win, and doesn't seem to have a clue how to govern. This might be fun to watch.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

She doesn't seem any more liberal than Bernie Sanders did early in his campaign (once he got some traction and some good PR people, he stopped emphasizing his most socialistic policies)."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

While turnouts for off year elections are rarely large this was minuscule indicating not much excitement for her in the district.

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostIs getting that "low" of a turnout in primaries really that odd? I was under the impression that turnout was generally fairly low for primaries in general (presidential elections excepted) because most people don't really pay much attention until the actual election.

Nancy Pelosi got upset at questions concerning Ocasio-Cortez's victory snarling at reporters not to read too much into this. That was the polar opposite of her reaction when Republican Whip Eric Cantor went down in defeat in the primaries a few years ago.
