| Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Sets A Poor Example For Women In Politics |
| 2018-08-14 |
| Ever since Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won the Democrat primary for New York’s 14th congressional district, her supporters have declared her the future of the Democrat Party. However, she has been making unforced errors since her June victory ‐ and the latest misstep shows it’s not just her policies that are misguided. IMO, she learned how to do "Shirley Temple" in kindergarten and been getting on on cuteness and parroting the "smart" people (in her circles) ever since |

| #9 That is true. The search for folks with no track record to hold against them resulted from that. Not a great trend. |

| #8 ...Think George W, Palin, and even Trump to some extent. I don't think it really matters at this point. The signs were already with the savaging that were given to earlier Republican politicos regardless of the length of their careers. Spiro Agnew, Dan Quayle, or Dick Cheney were all savaged by an increasingly monolithic 'Opposition Press' that has become a surrogate arm of the Democratic Party. |

| #6 She is a good example of how silly the trend is to just grab up young untried politicians and launch them into the national spotlight before they've been seasoned. Think George W, Palin, and even Trump to some extent. The problem is our current pile of politicians are unworthy giving folks few other options. |
