Sheila Jackson Lee is going to be pissed this moron is taking up all of her tv time.

I was lucky enough to be at a few events where SJL showed up and so did the media,it is like getting front row seats to a WWE event. I once saw her toss aside an intern twice her size to keep him from blocking her from a camera and throw elbows to split between two people to access the front of the photo op. In a media cage match SJL v AOC, bet the house and the farm on SJL.

Well yeah, SJL has her on experience and AOC would also be stepping way up in weight class.

Always the victim

Did someone post an article here a few weeks ago about how getting into Harvard is actually more difficult than getting a degree from there? I can't remember where I read it, but it was a damn good article.

I would think this is true for every elite school, including the service academies. Seems perfectly logical to me.

Their matriculation rates are in the 90%+ range. Once you're in they will do everything they can to get you that degree.

Why? Because it is one factor they've been able
To control. Once they figured out that "elites", largely due to their deep pockets and small class sizes, could control this, they convinced most of the college ranking services to make matriculation rates a huge part of the scoring system.

Someone post the photo of her being isolated in her red dress as the House Dems are prepping for their photo.

How long do you think it will be until there's an election where (R) wins the popular vote but (D) wins the electoral vote?

---

Probably never. There is too much fraud built into the vote in the big blue states of California, New York, and Illinois. That's why the electoral college is essential.

Big League Politics has obtained a photo showing four ballots with the exact same voter identifier in Alameda County, California.

All four ballots say Count: 421, VBMP (Vote-by-mail-permit) 164325, Extract 15. They are also labeled as "official ballots" for the general election in Alameda County for election day, Nov. 6 2018.

Vice President and co-founder of Election Integrity Project California (EIPCa) Ruth Weiss examined the photo depicting the mail in ballots.

"It does seem odd to me that the identifier on the left-hand side of the envelope is the same. That would imply not that this voter is registered four different times but that somehow four identical ballots were printed for a single voter. That would suggest a glitch with the vendor," she told Big League Politics.

James Bradley, a U.S. Senate candidate from California told Big League Politics that the state has passed a law allowing for mail-in and provisional ballots to be machine counted. Previously, the signatures on such ballots had to be individually verified in order for the ballots to be counted. Since the safeguard of signature verification was nullified, Democratic mail-ins and provisionals have vastly increased, according to Bradley.

Thus, it is entirely possible that all four of these ballots were mailed in, run through a machine, and counted.

Lot of red/green reversal bottoms. Volume was big so see if this was flush out move or cruelty after a bounce.

She's correct in the sense that the Electoral College (with each state's number of electors assigned based on Congressional representation) gave the Three-Fifths Compromise an impact on the presidential vote. Of course, that particular part of the Constitution has been unused for 153 years.

The stupid part is her assumption that winning the popular vote = winning the election if it were decided by popular vote. As wyoag93 pointed out, all presidential candidates' campaign strategies are based around winning the Electoral College. So we can't just assume that everyone would vote the same, or even that we'd have the same nominees.

---

She's dumb. The three-fifths compromise gave slave states fewer electoral votes than they would have had slaves been counted as full persons. The compromise was specifically enacted to lessen the power of slave states in the election of the executive and their representation in the House.

I truly believe the left is going to push for this, and fear they may be successful next time they are in power.

Can everyone agree that this would be grounds for civil war/fighting back/whatever you want to call it????

I know the founders would unanimously agree, but can everyone on Texags agree?

---

What? For the electoral college? Yes. Because Liberty would be banished soon anyway under popular vote rule from the school products of the present.

Oh, not, that version is unspliced, and continuous. Not like the other.

Hold The Phone.

I am going to go out on a limb here and warn that she is not as dumb as people are saying--she caught herself at once, immediately, That's hardly a botch. And calling them "chambers of govt" rather than "segments" or "branches" is not that big either.

Here is what I did notice: Ocasio learned from the Republican failure in 2017 -- she said they must have legislation already to go in case they win 2020, not be in the position of having to scramble on the fly after a win. That's kind of sharp. Not like what happened in the Ryan fiasco of not having some healthcare thing all ready to send to Trump. Remember how astonished we all were those dolts that had repealed Obamacare so many times were bluffing and had NO answer? Actually had never had anything to offer. That they would have been in trouble if President Obama had signed the repeal out of pique?

Give her credit from learning from that. Caution is required here, imo. Two cents only.

At most of the elite schools this is true however, at the service academies, they will work your butt off and at MIT, they had to change the freshman grading system a few years ago to pass/fail due to the suicides that would occur after each semester their freshman year.

She is being told this because when you have someone that openly preaches that ALL fossil fuels be stopped immediately to "save the planet", that tells me everything I need to know about this person.

In an age of what many are aptly calling "the feelz" Ocasio should not be underestimated. I think she and Beto and similar upcoming may yet topple the old guard Democrats. There is such a thing as dumb and unable to learn, and that is different from ignorant, and able to learn. She learned the lesson from 2017 of the Republican GOP-E failure, so she seems the latter. The big difference she is going to find is unlike a Ryan or McCain type, Pelosi and Schumer will be willing to use their power to cut her down to size if she really seeks to upstage them -- and by making her first day in DC the way she did the gauntlet has been thrown. In this sense, the Democrat chambers are going to be interesting in the first few weeks of 2019.

Maybe, but that talk about having something ready if won in 2020 looked like her thoughts. In fact, it is very atypical and not the norm for the old guard on either side--- which seem to never have something worked out ahead. As for fossil fuels, if all you have heard is Left wing bilge about the atmosphere and global warming-- that is what you would come out with. In many ways she is a collection of talking points. But that 2020 remark wasn't a talking point. Just an impression.

The world would be better off if a meteor struck DC when they were in session.

Ivy League Law Schools have been researching the elimination of the Electoral College for a few years now. Allegedly, the brightest legal minds, in liberal form, is where you go to test out these types of controversial movements/arguments . It's all sorted out in a legal sense well before it's pushed into the public arena. Makes me wonder if the legal boys are ready to roll with this and if Ocascio-Cortez is the mule for this one.
