Republicans in New York's 14th District might as well stay home next November, but it is corporate Democrats, like those who backed Hillary in 2016, who should be worried about what Ocasio-Cortez has started.Oh shit a Socialist beat a Liberal in NY, that's it Republicans can go home its over.Think bigots got the majority in 2018?Primaries Tuesday showed the power of President Trump’s endorsements continued to help Republican candidates triumph, while House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., lost a key lieutenant – Rep. Joe Crowley – in a New York City race that suggests internal divisions among Democrats are more serious than people might think.
Look Out Liberals – Primary Results Show Trump Power Isn’t Going Anywhere
See the MSM has the leftist morons thinking they got the country by the balls when in reality they have nothing by the balls and they know it. THe only ones who don't know it are the Democratic sheep who is fed bs lies from their wovles in sheeps clothing. Gawd talk about SUCKERS.

28-Year-Old Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Wins Primary, Backing Medicare for All & Abolishing ICE | Democracy Now!
"In a stunning upset and the biggest surprise of the primary season this year, 28-year-old Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat 10-term incumbent Representative Joe Crowley in New York in Tuesday’s Democratic primary.
"Crowley is the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, and he’d outraised Ocasio-Cortez by a 10-to-1 margin.
"Crowley was widely viewed as a possible future House speaker.
"Yet Ocasio-Cortez defeated Crowley after running a progressive grassroots campaign advocating for 'Medicare for All' and the abolition of ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency."
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Legacy of the Bernie Sanders Movement
"Last month, Crowley’s victory looked so assured that he sent a surrogate to a debate with Ocasio-Cortez rather than attend himself.
"Crowley had been handpicked for his seat in Congress years ago by Thomas Manton, the last great boss of the Queens Democratic machine.
"But the Fourteenth District—a collection of mostly working-class neighborhoods straddling Queens and the Bronx—is now half Hispanic and just a fifth white.
"Crowley’s loss to the daughter of working-class Puerto Ricans confirmed a change in outer-borough political power that has both been inevitable and long delayed."
"But it was more than that, too. During her campaign, Ocasio-Cortez called for Congress to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, pledged her support for a federal jobs guarantee and Bernie Sanders’s Medicare-for-all program, called for aggressive antitrust regulation that would break up the tech giants, and ran with the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America.
"For a while this spring, the midterms looked increasingly predictable and contained: it would be a partisan fight between Donald Trump and his opponents, waged in a fixed number of swing districts. Ocasio-Cortez’s victory suggests that the map may be larger than that."
