baby we were born to run

||     Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez


||     won a New York Democratic primary race in a surprise upset


||    her campaign money --  three hundred thousand dollars;

      Congressman Crowley's campaign money -- over three million dollars


||     she is 28 years old     (if elected in November, she will be the youngest woman ever elected to Congress)


||      her Twitter, today:  "I completely agree with @SenSanders.  Interpretations of 'us vs them' are unproductive in our discourse and, in my opinion, misguided.  This is about fierce advocacy for working class Americans."

     I listened to this candidate today on You Tube -- the conversation can be viewed by typing in:

Political Newcomer Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez On Her Upset and the Road Ahead, Morning Joe


     She is very articulate.


     Her defeated opponent, incumbent Democratic Representative Joe Crowley, pledged his support to her campaign, and then apparently picked up his acoustic guitar, and, dedicating the performance to Ms. Ocasio, sang "Born To Run."
