Ocasio-Cortez: I am not the expert on geo-politics on this issue.

Hoover then pressed Ocasio-Cortez, "You use the term 'the occupation of Palestine.' What do you mean by that?"

The 28-year-old socialist struggled, "Um... I think what I meant is ... like ... the settlements that are increasing in some of these areas and places where Palestinians are experiencing difficulty in access to their housing and homes."

Hoover: "Do you think you can expand on that?"

Ocasio-Cortez fumbled, "Yeah... I mean, I think ... I'd ... also just— I am not the expert on geo-politics on this issue."

I used to have this clipping from "For Better or Worse" - a daily comic that I am not sure is still being written.
In it, the little girl asks her mother why they color eggs at Easter - and her mother says she doesn't know but -
goes on a rather long winded discussion on how eggs symbolize beginnings and so forth until the strip shows that
the little girl is bored and her thought bubble says "how come the LONGEST explanations always start with 'I don't know'? ".

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps..."

Is it possible that Ocasio-Cortez's election could flip this district red? She will be running against Anthony Pappas, a highly educated professor who, no doubt is well-versed on the issues. I would love to watch their debates. Ocasio-Cortez is going to require an immersion on the issues and will require some keen memorization skills; then apply that to her socialist thinking. Will the people of New York's 14th district care about her lack of knowledge of the issues; or will they simply vote left for the sake of keeping things left?

I think the Dems will regret her nomination.

I think she is a result of the influence of the Trump election; in that the voters are rejecting the establishment / the status quo and picking an outsider. I find it hard to believe that the 14th District is this far left, but sick of nothing getting done.

Possible, but not probable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York's_14th_congressional_district

Ethnicity

18.41% White
11.39% Black
16.24% Asian
49.80% Hispanic
0.45% Native American
3.71% other

That district is also overwhelmingly Democrat.


You know - as long as I've been alive - this has been relevant in politics.
But I can't understand why unless having someone in Congress really isn't that important.
In sports, when we picked the team captain - it was usually either the guy who was clearly the best at it -
or the best actual leader. We didn't give a crap if he was white or black or rich or poor or anything.
Ditto the coach - we just wanted the best guy. He didn't have to look like us - he just had to help us WIN.

If the idea is to actually represent the people of a district, AOC is perfect and a shoo-in.

Cubans normally aren't because they ACTUALLY lived under the kind of system which Democrats want to plague the nation.

How many of those "I suffered personally under the Castro brothers" folk are still alive today? They would be competing with the "I was personally characterized in West Side Story" Puerto Ricans."

Interesting responses...Ms. Ocasio-Cortez's flubbing of the answer is not in any way materially different from the inability of Trump to answer specific or general questions.

Trump generally has no knowledge of whatever topic he is questioned about. Go watch the spectacles that were the news conferences he held last week at NATO and with PM May. Trump is just utterly clueless, which is what happens when you are utterly unprepared...which is what happens when you assume a position you are totally unfit and unqualified to hold.

There are cubans that managed to escape during the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Perhaps not in great numbers but still fresh from the commune.

Just lie Obammy couldn't speak without his teleprompter. Unlike Trump, Obammy was, is, & always will be utterly clueless to American Exceptionalism. Unlike Trump, Obammy went through his entire life totally unprepared. Man, Obammy should have never been elevated to a position that he was totally unfit & unqualified to hold.

Thank God American Patriots didn't allow that to happen again. Because, let's be honest my lil confused Brony...the only reason why we have gotten the crap Presidents we have gotten is because Patriotic Conservatives were too busy running the world while your criminal ilk has sneaked in under the radar for 30 years now...and it will take us more than 8 years to fix your kind's criminal behavior. Better get used to this sweetie. We are awake and will be standing forever vigilante for now on. Your team had a shot. You've shown you haven't changed. You're still nothing more than an organized crime syndicate
