As the media keeps on spinning. Plus, I loved the Trumpster taking credit for this, claiming it was Crowley not showing proper respect to . . . the Trumpster that lost Crowley the seat. In a district that Hillary won . . . 77% and is populated by a large immigrant electorate.

But he's taking credit. Really?

The beat goes on and on and . . .

that his campaign wasn't running ads in New York and challenging Clinton there back in 2016. I guess he thinks he is popular there.

From what I've read, the demographic change in the district has been profound over the last 10 years. The Hispanic population is nearly 50%; the white population 25%. Crowley not showing up for the debate was political malpractice and from the sounds of it, he was completely outdone in the on-the-ground, door-to-door campaigning. Guess that's what happens when you grow too comfortable and/or complacent after a 20-year stint.

So the best candidate won, a young, energetic woman who clearly represents her solidly Blue constituency.

Full support.

about him. I wonder if he could even pick Crowley out of a crowd?

Probably not.

Hope it puts the "opposition" on notice that their bs stops with her.

This is what breaks the division, those who cannot honor the Dem Party & ALL under their big tent.
Those who insist on petty bs smears & snipes & those intent on dividing this great Party.

Hope those intent on using her to drive a wedge to division, as they so compulsively did in 2016, hear her words.
