    Yup. At least with AOC I’d feel comfortable knowing she wouldn’t be idiotic enough to tackle things she knows nothing about and seek outside council to make those decisions.

    At this point we have the most moronic President we have ever seen and will ever see in this country’s lifetime.

    Awww. How cute. You've already proven that you simply lack the intellectual capability to carry on intelligent discussion here. I honestly don't take anything you say seriously so your feeble attempt at an insult is actually a compliment. If you agreed with me I would have to reevaluate my line of thinking

    Disagree here although I don't want either running the country. Playing "who is the bigger idiot " is not a good look for us

    True. But imagine AOC (lol) trying to ram a 70-80% tax on the rich through. Holding rallies and chanting “TAX THE RICH!”. Shutting down the government and declaring a national emergency over it.

    I can’t. Yet there Trump is, doing this over some silly money laundering device....errr border wall.

    The Right is DESPERATE to find SOMEONE to energize their base. Their OBSESSION with a FRESHMAN Congressman with very little power is laughable.

    Don't be so scared " That little girl" as your hero McConnel calls her is not going to hurt you. I recommend consuming less right wing media as a start before upping the alcohol, weed or benzos.

    Marc Thiessen argues AOC is going to get Trump reelected:

    "With her FAQ, Ocasio-Cortez has inadvertently exposed the neo-socialist lie that you can get something for nothing. The Democratic Party’s embrace of that lie is going to get President Trump reelected."​

    Anyone is now qualified to be president or in gov't. Trump and Co have proven this.

    SweetLou 2020. I'd vote for ya to support my fellow CF, as long as you declared a national emergency in order to give the Rockets some extra money.

    I don't disagree with you on your Trump criticism. I certainly don't support him. I don't see why he's a topic here though. Him being a clown doesn't change the fact that AOC is too

    Being a clown as you say though is sometimes what has to happen to get stupid Americans to actually talk about real and not real issues.

    AOC is using her newly found bull horn given to her by Trumpers who are obsessed, and actually single handily has made a piece of legislation (albeit just a resolution) a kitchen table discussion. That’s not a small feet given how tied up Americans are generally in ignorance.

    Trump has used his bullhorn since 2015 to bring immigration to the kitchen table, but unlike climate change discussion... which is scientifically proven.... Trump is just spreading lies and hate about brown people. It hasn’t likely been a very productive use of clownish behavior to our country.

    Will AOC’s use of her clownish bullhorn actually end up doing some good? I like what I’ve seen thus far. Talking about marginal taxes for the 1% is a good thing. Finally talking about Climate change solutions is a good thing.

    Maybe a little clownish behavior is a good thing for the Dems to start doing more of. As long as it’s about real issues we need to talk about.

    This is a devastatingly effective appeal to Trump supporters, but so sad.

    What makes her a clown? Trump is a clown for various reasons that are in plain view.

    AOC is an extremely intelligent woman who has had academic success throughout her life - impressive success, accomplished significant things and ran a grassroots campaign to defeat the seemingly undefeatable. It appears everything she is doing is calculated and her life appears to reflect a person who knows what they are doing.

    While she says many controversial things, I wouldn't put it past her that this is a device she uses to draw attention to herself ala Trump, in that sense, you could argue she is a clown - like the class clown. But when clown is used to refer to Trump, it is more derogatory. AOC is highly calculated and intelligent, she knows which of her statements are true or just b.s. She's definitely not stupid.
