What about Paul Ryan!
I never liked him, I’ve criticized him before on here, and he doesn’t belong in the discussion because he isn’t feuding with AOC. But whatabout Paul Ryan is what you bring into the discussion.

Ok what did she do now while in the minority. She marshaled the votes to pass the Puerto Rico relief bill that Paul Ryan couldn’t. Oh and that bill also kept us from defaulting on the debt which Paul and the Freedom Caucus didn’t do a damn thing to stop.

I get it you don’t like her and don’t like her politics. That’s fine and I don’t expect you to but you should at least be respectful for people who are successful in their job and move things forward.

I like people who can actually do something for my side and AOC won’t do that. Paul Ryan won’t do that. Whoever the right replaces him with won’t do that. I respect people who can actually do something on the other side.

you can keep arguing because you know that I'm right. the point remains the same, there are many people calling her the new face of the party/the new face for the party. these are the same thing.




calling a moderator pathetic, good job.

We get it. English isn't your strong suit.

Serious question. Whom do you like? Why?

Likening it to catcalling was a little bit in poor taste since there was nothing sexual at all in what he said. She should have just continued to not say anything. Who cares what him and his followers say on Twitter.

It was a funny quip tho. Sucks the right has gone all PC and turned into a bunch of snowflakes though. Overbearing pc principals were one of the most annoying things about the lefts progressive movement.

It’s a little hypocritical though that OP hasn’t created a thread from his outrage in how the right conducts themselves on Twitter.

The thing was not her declining Shapiro’s request. It’s the way she did it and basically called him sexist for him asking her to debate.

Are there any other congressmen or candidates he challenged to a debate? Since he’s known as a partisan hack and nothing more, she should have just ignored him and continued doing interviews with respectable journalists. There are plenty of conservative journalists if she wants to broaden her support base.

This is such an unbelievably silly thing foe anyone of sound mind to be upset about. There's never been a politician in the world we've demanded debate someone they weren't running against during an election. Insanity. Either people are being hypocritical idiots or maybe she is right in her initial comparison. Which one is it? Are ya stupid or are ya sexist?

Ocasio-Cortez remembered the important rule of politics, never argue down. It is a forgotten rule in this age of Trump who breaks it all the time. Which makes sense for Trump, getting in playground name calling arguments is his strength as a politician. But for most of us, picking a fight with someone below you is just stupid. All you can do is lose. Ocasio-Cortez can beat Shapiro in a debate and win nothing. Debating some 4th rate radio personality gets her nothing. Losing to Shapiro hurts her. No upside to fighting down. It is just like Trump ragging on Maxine Waters. Win or lose, he is arguing with a single congresswoman and he is the president. She wins simply by being there. The same thing with Shapiro. He wins by being there. Of course he wants to challenge her, he has nothing to lose.

It is always good to see a young politician smart enough to understand that there are rules that make politics easier and you don't have to reinvent the wheel to run for office.

Trump doesn’t argue down. He argues up. The president isn’t arguing with anyone. A petty whiny ***** is arguing with lots of people. He’s at least striking even when he fights Omarosa or Michael Cohen.

I get what you’re saying but I can’t not point this out.

Buddy coaches baseball at the local CC, makes 4K a season and they’ve won 2 national championships in the last 10 yrs. So, yeah the costs at that level are overblown.

yeah spots programs don't cost nearly as much when you aren't paying some ******* 4 million a year.
