Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is rushing out to endorse a primary challenger to a sitting conservative leaning Illinois Democrat Congressman.

[SIZE=+1]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Back First 2020 Challenger to Sitting Democrat[/SIZE]

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez plans on Tuesday to announce her endorsement of Marie Newman, a progressive candidate seeking to oust Representative Daniel Lipinski, a conservative-leaning Illinois Democrat, marking her first move of the 2020 campaign cycle to back a primary challenger to an incumbent.

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s high-profile support amounts to a powerful seal of approval, telegraphed to her legions of ardent liberal fans, on behalf of Ms. Newman, and a reflection of the zeal of the party’s progressive left to leverage its nascent power to continue targeting sitting Democrats.
Presumably it has not occurred to her that this also serves as an endorsement for any challenger who might want to challenge her in her New York district, including perhaps the former incumbent Joe Crowley, who she unseated just last November.

Congressional terms last two years. If you win one, there is no guarantee that you get another. If she keeps up like this, AOC very well might not be back for a second term.

When Trump wins in 2020, the civil war inside the Democrat Party will be EPIC.

Does the Democratic Party we knew still exist, as this seems a party that can't even figure out what they stand for and who is running the party.

AOC is only the beginning of the flood of youthful women of color who will soon be strolling through the halls of Congress like they own the place. In fact, they WILL own the place. I can't wait. BWAH HA HA, trumplings! Halloween is coming early and you all better be hiding in your fav safe place when AOC and the Squad come to get you!

So do you believe that AOC is likely to be re-elected in 2020?

Oh, you bet!

She's also going to run for president in 2024 and win that election. Ya'll better make sure to stay on her good side or else!

Seriously, why wouldn't AOC be re-elected in 2020? The demographics in her district weigh heavily in her favor. Would she win in a different district? Probably not, but who knows?

I wouldn't be so happy about that unless you want to see the destruction of this great country.
