The defeat of Joe Crowley by a socialist whilst shaking the core of the democratic party also should make Donald Trump take a sharper look at his base...aka...the White Working Class...The Donald has done some great things but he needs to do much,much more for his base. His base whilst conservative are not the old school conservatives.....they need the Donald's help and they want it ....i.e. make college more accessible to their kids, return control of the the public schools to the local communities, stop jobs from going overseas and have government training schools to teach those who need new skills.
Also....for the younger members of his base make it possible or at least easier to be able to purchase a decent house. But.....above all..... The white working class wants jobs. They don't want to be stuck trying to make ends meet with part-time work and government assistance. They want a good paying job that they can take pride in. The type of job that has fled America thanks to the Left.
The immediate threat though is for the democratic party's leadership...."ForNancy Pelosi 78, Steny Hoyer, 79, and Joe Biden, 75 the primary results from New York's 14th congressional district are a fire bell in the night.
All may be swept away in the coming revolution. That is the message of the crushing defeat of 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley, who had aspired to succeed Pelosi and become speaker of the House.
The No. 4 House Democrat, Crowley, 56, had not faced primary opposition since 2004. He outspent his opponent, 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was tending bar a year ago, by 10 to one.
The son of an Irish immigrant, Crowley was leader of the Queens Democratic Club, He had the unions' support. So confident was he that he skipped a debate and sent a Latina politician to stand in for him.
Tossing Crowley's credentials back in his face, Ocasio-Cortez ran as a Latina, a person of color, a millennial and militant socialist who lived in her district, and painted Crowley as a white male with lots of PAC money who had moved to D.C. and sent his kids to school in Virginia..
"The Democratic Party takes working-class communities for granted; they take people of color for granted," railed Ocasio-Cortez. The party assumes "that we're going to turn out no matter how bland or half-stepping (their) proposals are."..............Patt Buchanan
