    She is Hispanic and a proclaimed Democratic Socialist.  She's young and fired up.

    I will be watching more of her considering she is in my state.

    Funny how her Socialist views were not the same when she ran a business.  An opportunist that further moves the DNC to the radical far left.  This is good for the country, it'll energize the right.  Socialism is cancer.

    You know nothing of what you're talking about.

    Pretty much every western democracy that is infused with ideas stemming from socialism are run better than your cancer-ridden-country.

    Just look at the countries in Scandinavia. 

    Ignorant little cutiepie. Now go sing your little anthem with your hand on your heart.

    I'd be concerned if I were a democrat. Nothing against her, but Tom Perez (the chair of the DNC) said that she's the future of the party. In other words, the leaders democratic party seem to be moving more and more left. That might not bode well in general elections.

    No, if you click that link you posted, you'll see that it says at the top that it's "not to be confused with democratic socialism."

    Give a man (woman, symbol) a fish they will be fed for the day....teach a man (woman, symbol) to fish they will be fed for a lifetime....give a man (woman,symbol) someone else"s fish they will vote for these idiots for life. 

    On a side note, she needs to learn her talking points rather than continually looking at her notes. Very distracting and shows she doesnt really believe what she spews out her piehole.

    Interesting assessment. Have you ever spoken in public in front of a crowd of people? An inexperienced public speaker often starts out using note cards because nerves, stage fright and random brain melt will make you forget something important. Maybe too much Trumpish has poisoned your view of how someone should gather thoughts and speak.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Actually, I speak in front of groups of people on a regular basis and have no problem communicating whatever topic I'm discussing. As I said -- she needs to LEARN her talking points. Not sure how "Trumpish" figures into this at all but I am aware of Trump Derangement Syndrome that makes certain liberals blame everything under the sun on Trump. There is a cure.

    Says the guy who loves Team Trump Treason’s swamp filling. Gee, have you ever criticized any of Team Trump Treason’s family or appointees? Yet a woman wins a primary and may win a general and thus be accountable to the people and it’s faux outrage from you. Too bad you don’t have the balls to run for that $174K job, huh?

    Good for you. I bet it has gotten a lot easier over time with experience and you have needed less and less cues because of repetition. Maybe next time I go to my son's tee ball game I can complain about how they just need to hit the damn ball and get rid of that tee. They must not really want to play baseball.

    I referenced Trump because he is a prime example of someone who should have prompts and notes because of the nonsensical communication method and is someone we see speak every damn day. It's one thing to just say that it's distracting that she uses notes, but shows your complete bias when you reference that it means she doesn't really believe what she spews out her piehole. 
    It's a hopeless situation...
