Quote

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said the transition period will be “very unusual, because I can’t really take a salary. I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress. So, how do I get an apartment? Those little things are very real.” She said she saved money before leaving her job at the restaurant, and planned accordingly with her partner. “We’re kind of just dealing with the logistics of it day by day, but I’ve really been just kind of squirreling away and then hoping that gets me to January.”

 

 

Gofundme page will be setup soon no doubt...

Did she win her election?

 

Her opponent (who was an independent, not official GOP) spent 2,000 dollars total in his campaign and she only won by 4,000 votes (out of 27,000+ cast).

 

The GOP will pour millions into that district next term and she'll be out.

There is no doubt that her short term rent cause will be funded by somebody and I don't really see anything wrong with that.  She'll be very well herded and protected by her Dem colleagues and will be up to leftist (the party of free stuff) political speed in no time.  Probably the most trainable of all the new members and heck she can serve at cocktail parties.

Dude you should be President.  Fantastic display of knowledge in this post.

My hot take:  There will be a big to-do about her being elected, lots of press and fanfare, but in two years she'll be ousted by her own party.   She's not going to do much in the House.  The old guard wants its last shot at the limelight.  No room for Ms. Thang.  

 

Two years from now, she'll get smoked in the primary by the other faction in the Democratic Party.  Their hubris had them flatfooted this time around.  They won't make that mistake twice. 

 

The primary role of these reps is to spread the money around back home and with her poltiical leanings, it won't be going to all the groups that are used to receiving said money.

Good grief, if she's going to be that obvious, why doesn't she just set up her own 'Go Fund Me' site?

 

It'll be fun to see just how arrogant and entitled this low rent bartender gets and how quickly.

 

How did she afford to run for congress, but can't afford an apartment?

 

O.o

The hilarious part is that she's going to likely be remarkably indictable at the end of this several month period.

 

She's going to have to accept money or lodging from donors of some sort, and that's illegal; so would be tapping into any kind of campaign funding.

I'll give her credit for hinesty, in that she hasn't done it yet.

 

It's going to be fun, watching the system beat the idealism out of this dingbat.

In a way, it's sad.   While batshit crazy and fundamentally wrong she is what the design of this country is about in that she represents her people by vote and is not a career politician - much like the farmers, barbers, lawyers and such that started this country.

 

Of course, I hope she falls on her ***** face.  She will end up sleeping at her office like so many others have done.
