(5,693 posts)But she can't respond to every single idiotic attack. There are way too many of them. What if Obama tweeted responses to all the BS coming from the far right?

(1,376 posts)Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has read Voltaire, I think:
J'ai toujours fait une prière à Dieu, qui est fort courte. La voici: Mon Dieu, rendez nos ennemis bien ridicules! Dieu m'a exaucé.
in English:
I always made one prayer to God, a very short one. Here it is: "O Lord, make our enemies quite ridiculous!" God granted it.
Bonne chance.

(315 posts)If she can capture and keep the attention of young voters she can do whatever she wants. I do think she should be careful about being used at some point. If she has good ideas and can do a good job in government why should she shed her personality and penchant for having fun?
