Tell me, how do you really feel about her? Because I pretty much ignore her, and I laugh at you guys who are so desperate for an enemy now that Hillary's gone that you latch onto a first-term Congresswoman who hasn't even been sworn in yet, and is at least six years from even dreaming about a run for the Presidency (and probably never will get there because she's so extreme).

We agree here. She makes good meme fodder, but other than that there is nothing worthy of any attention. Besides, it won’t be long until the Nancy Pelosi machine eats her alive.

I doubt the Pelosi machine eats her alive. Nancy Pelosi is pushing 80, and she's always been good at knowing which direction the tides were turning. Remember that comment she made about being a "transitional figure"? The woman's smart. She's going to get to choose her successor, and in so doing control the Democratic platform for much longer than she's got left. Unless she's a vampire. Which she might be.

So, basically, I anticipate Pelosi choosing someone from the Ocasio-Cortez School of Socialism for Dummies. Maybe not Ocasio-Cortez herself given the age issue, but someone along those lines. She's greasing the skids to make sure that her agenda doesn't retire along with her, it just gets rolled into the democratic socialist one.
