From what I have seen I have been very impressed with this woman. I don't know who this CNN anchor is but he tried to throw every curveball he could and she handled them like a seasoned professional and was very smart on all the issues

I think Ocasio-Cortez is the real deal !!! ..............

Poise and passion. I loved her point about playing hardball, the “stolen” Supreme Court seat and not just working within the chamber but also mobilizing public opinion for the fight. This is what younger people can bring to our party. They might be too inexperienced to “know better” but they’re also fresh enough not to be worn down and resigned.

She also knocked the “socialist” and ICE questions out of the park.

this is a special kind of hate for her to a tune of fear. The new and old will work together to bring some sanity back to the USA.

The word "socialist". And with a heavy New York accent and attitude, she reminds me of someone else.

I also heard her on NPR the other day where she was very smart in her diplomatic remarks regarding Pelosi and praising Joe C. and not allowing herself to be baited by media and Repubs into dividing Democrats.

in her district voted for her. I can also see the Republican Party being afraid of her. She strikes me as young but fully confident and self-aware at the same time. She could well be a force in the party sooner than later if that interview is a representative example, in my opinion at least.

sharp as a newly honed razor. She and hopefully many others like her WILL spell doom to the repthugliKKKan party and the old stinking thinking among many who call themselves leaders.
