The 24/7 coverage on Fox News and the numerous "discredit her by calling her an idiot" memes popping up from the right over and over and over again confirm it. You guys just keep running scared and trying to convince yourselves that she's some sort of threat. Those of us watching from afar will continue to laugh right up until she loses her primary in 2020 and the GOP looks like the real idiots for expending so much energy on a one-termer.

I don't see how she can lose her primary in 2020. Her district is full of liberal idiots. Oddly enough, she may not even be the biggest issue for the democratic congress with their growing crop of anti semitic congresswomen.

With Newsome cancelling the California train project due to its ridiculous cost and time frame, it will be a really hard sell for AOC and her purge of commercial aircraft. 

Finally, AOC's staff literally took the page down once it was criticized. Cocaine Mitch is going to call a vote on this and make these people get on the record, as he should. Let this be a lesson that you don't submit "ideas and dreams" as bills if you aren't ready to vote on them!

I'd have to go digging for the article, but I have seen at least one from the MSM saying that Democrats were looking for someone to run against her in the 2020 primary, complete with those good old off-the-record quotes. If she keeps doing the things she's doing and they are largely ignored, she's just another nameless, faceless first-term rep with lots of big ideas and no quantifiable action, which makes her an easy target. If she keeps being portrayed by the right as some kind of antichrist, it emboldens her supporters on the left to see her as a savior for the Democratic Party...which she's not, although I wouldn't complain if she were to become one. With Trump's outfit running a far-right GOP and the Cortez-led "democratic socialists" running the Democrats, it might finally piss off enough of us in the middle for a third party to emerge.
