If voters (even in NY) send a woman like Ocasio Cortez to the House, what does that say about the electorate?

    “Channel that money to good causes”

    I can only guess what voters are thinking. I think people accept that gov't taking a big chuck of GDP is a fact of life, and they want candidates who will channel that money toward good causes.

    If there were some referendum question that would guarantee cutting gov't across the board and reducing taxes, many people, although maybe not a majority, would be for it. The problem is what Mitt Romney famously said: Most people don't pay incomes taxes except for payroll taxes, so it's not a high priority for them.

    BTW, I turned off the spliced video juxtaposing supposed questions with out-of-context statements by the candidate.

    Well it NYC, and like almost all large urban areas, they should be expected to vote stupid. The political maps tell us that's how it works. A snake is a snake. A is A.

    easy "Free stuff"

    Now that O and the Ds pushed through O-care and the Rs are reluctant to restore order the moochers feel entitled and that they could lose something. Of course they will pick any nitwit who promises them the moon even is it is filled with shit..

    Watch the movie Idiocracy.

    Years ago my golf buddy said, "If you read Atlas Shrugged and watch Idiocracy you get full clarity." Very true...

    Pour some drinks, pop some popcorn, pull up a chair, it should be interesting to watch.
