    The district is so one sided that her winning the primary put her in office.
    Republicans may or may not have even run a sacrificial lamb against her.

    It is like most areas of the South where Democrats need not bother even putting up a candidate unless it it a special election and Republicans run a pedophile for office.
    The diference is that the guy who beat Pedophile Moore will lose big time in the next real election cycle.

    I do not mean to pick on the Democrats or the South alone. New England has only one Republican and two sort off independents left in Congress.

    There are districts here in Connecticut and I am sure in Mass. that the Democrats could run a one eyed left handed monkey and a Republican will still lose.

    She's an idiot...nothing more, nothing less....her ideas are not thought through, and she is of the perpetual victim class...she went up against the ******* Palone so I suspect she'll be quieted soon.

    Her position entitles her nothing else, but you need to make people believe your rhetoric since you are unaware of how a Congressional legislative member should act.

    It happened in every other nation, what makes you think that it would never happen to the USA?

    I don't know, blind optimism and the fact that I presently only speak English. Learning a foreign language to thus move to said foreign country is definitely an option, though money currency/different values and stuff like that is also an obstacle imo.

    This young thing is in for one of the rudest awakenings in her short privileged life.

    As are sociopaths, and canines that are bred and trained exclusively to engage in murderous blood sports solely for the entertainment of others.

    Being fearless is not always a positive quality.

    I don't know enough about her to decide whether she is an idiot or not.

    But she has a lot to learn, and not a lot of time to learn it in.

    This is what happens when you elect people with no experience and no idea how governments or legislatures work.

    I hope that you are correct and we can get rid of the shinny worse than useless object in 2020. Romney may run but I am not sure he is the man to do it. Kasich a decent human being and a classic good Republican who I supported just lacks the appeal.

    As the Trumpocity has showed us that he tries to appear to be fearless.

    At least she's not a Zombie-Robot like DeSantis. Of course she isn't nearly as old as him yet... Maybe in time she'll be in lockstep? In the meantime it's nice to have free thinkers in power for a change even though it sends chills up the spines of the Trump-droids.

    As crazy as it sounds I wouldn't be surprised if she runs for president and gets a lot of support from the emerging leftist in the democrat party.

    I'd say the fear is more likely in the leadership of the New Democratic Party, as these "free thinkers" (as in give people free everything) wake the American public up to what they actually represent.

    That could translate into considerable harm to the NDP long term.

    Well look what happened when people thought that a radical crazy neo pseudo right wing wannabe from NY conned his way to the top by being a better liar than the new New Yorker transplanted twice pseudo White Sox fan turned neo Yankees fan. Every good liar finds his base.

    One voice? There are a number of freshman Progressives, and then there is the radicalism of the New Democratic Party.

    As to Trump, he's not doing any damage to the GOP. The damage is to the credibility of the media, and their partners, the NDP.

    Sadly those in the party who do not want to think of the consequences of a run away crazy Trumpocity are happy to trade seats on the SUPREMES that they are willing to sell the rest of America off to Russia or another enemy.
