Bullshit! Just find a district in Queens thats overwhelmingly (D), where the (R)s are looking to punt the seat, and promise them free healthcare, college, jobs, et al. without having a plan for how to fund it, and they'll elect you. Need proof, see Ocasio-Cortez. Who knows. I do know that her district has something like 350k voters and less than 28k actually bothered to vote. Tells me no one is really interested in her district. We had more vote in the corrupt District 9 here in NC than that. We only have 22k residents in District 9 though Joe Crowley, the Congressman who lost the race, is an old College friend of mine. He fucking blew the race, took her for granted and got what he deserved. Joe was never particularly political but was handed a NYS assembly seat when we were is school when his uncle who held the seat passed away. He then drank the lib cool-aid and won the seat repeatedly as an incumbent by spouting bullshit and smiling at everyone. Then, he gets handed a Congressional seat when Tom Manton decides to retire..and guess what...Joe runs as an incumbent again...and ever since, whilst ramming his head far up Kilary Clintons flabby arse. When Trump took out Clinton, the writing was on the wall for Joe and this dumb waitress Cortez caught him napping. Evil morons get elected in NYC because of voter apathy and having the sheer balls to give it a shot. Joe forgot that because he never had to earn his seat the first time. Exactly... he took her for granted, and she caught him sleeping. Once she had the (D) nomination, the (R) candidate was a joke. The party knew they werent going to win the district, so they ran Anthony Pappas, a St Johns Economics professor, who didn't actively campaign. Ironic that an economics dullard beat an econ prof, go figure!

She's the result of her primary opponent sleeping on her, and the Republicans punting on an overwhelmingly (D), probably gerrymandered, district.

She got lucky it doesn’t mean it’s easy to become a member of Congress, it takes a lot money and backing. Lucky yes... at least in the Primary. And certainly opportunistic. She spent less than $200K vs her opponents $3.4 million in the primary. 75% of that was small donations. There were no debates, and she got key backing from MoveOn, Justice Democrats, BLM, Democracy for America - the usual backers of a uber-progressive option. She fit their criteria... a Hispanic woman, easy on the eyes, spouting the typical pie-in-the-sky rhetoric in a district of almost 700,000 people, that is 50% Hispanic. Less than 28K came out to vote in that primary. So she got super lucky, right place/right time, got the right backing, and didn't have a lot of money. Once she got the nomination, then the money rolled in as she became a media darling and Pancho Villa for the progressive masses, a younger, better looking, female version of Bernie Sanders. In the general election she raised 1.8 m dollars... but ran against a guy who raised $8000. Source: www.opensecrets.org/races/summary?cycle=2018&id=NY14Pappas mailed it in, like a number of other (R) candidates in the city. Its a waste of money for them to run against any (D) and notice the (R) primaries in those districts are usually one candidate running unopposed. Im a proponent of non-insiders getting elected, but I also value intelligence, and being able to back up what they say with facts. She doesn't pass that litmus test IMO.

In almost ALL districts in DC, there are NO republican candidates. NONE. They don't stand a chance. My city, Charlotte, after 23 years here, looks like it will be blue forever. The poor simply want to stay poor.

The poor simply want to stay poor. I dont think that is true..I think they are easily manipulated and ultimately betrayed... by those who purport to represent their interests, like in every large Democratic sh*thole city.

Kansas has done exactly what you think they should with their conservative leadership and look what happened, look at some of the poorest states in the union they’re red as hell. Times have changed both parties don’t give a shit about their constituents.
