The right didn’t elevate her as the face of the future and give her national airtime. And it won’t be the right that knocks her down, but the leaders of her party. They don’t seem particularly thrilled with the Amazon pullout.
And while the author claims the right is afraid of her, I would say it’s the mainstream Dems who don’t want her to be seen as representative of them. Were Dems scared of Palin or thrilled?
Dude, crushing it today. This is entirely spot on. The GOP is using AOC to undermine the Dems. As I said in the other thread, that apparently prompted GM to make this one, this is smart politics on their part. AOC is radical, her ideas are far fetched to unworkable, she clearly likes being in the spotlight and she's not very smart. Painting her as the face of the Democratic party is a big a win for them as saying Palin was "one heartbeat away from the Presidency" if McCain had won was for the Dems.
