The DNA test itself was not the problem; the problem (IMO) was that she acted like she had been vindicated, when at best the test showed that her grandparents were at least one generation off with their claims.
Lord I didn’t mean they instructed her what to fill in, I meant they instructed people to fill in a ‘race’.
They are the face of the Democratic party. Even though you know 99% of Democrats can't vote for or against them.
More specifically, they're the face of the Democratic party to those who watch Fox news.
Hard to imagine anything more humiliating to the USA than having its officials blocked from traveling abroad, even our adversaries don't do that (Rand Paul just went to Russia for instance), but it's just plain weird that an American president would take an action in supposed defense of another nation's wishes over America's prestige when that nation did not even want to take that action in the first place. - As usual the point is just to show a picture of Omar and Tlaib and let the rest take care of itself.
You know what disturbs me the most about that article? That Yahoo, repeating Fox News would put the word occupation in quotation marks.
For months, people in the AOC thread kept telling themselves that Republicans were afraid of the squad, obsessed with the squad, etc. As I predicted, those same folks are now starting to realize that it was always in the Republicans' interests to have them front and center. If you're a Democrat, you want Steve King in front of every camera he can find. If you're Trump, you want Rashida Tlaib on television. Running against the fringe elements of the other side has always been an attractive strategy, and it's easier to pull off these days with the combination of lack of party discipline and easy access to social media.
As I've been saying all along, it's a dangerous strategy for Republicans. AOC is much more popular and telegenic than Steve King. Republicans might wake up to find that relentlessly promoting AOC and her ideas blew up in their faces.
All of this is true but it’s important to add that’s it’s not just an attractive strategy; the people that offer it truly believe it.
You’re suggesting that AOC is cuter than Steve King?
Maybe. But I'm don't think 80% of the voting public even thinks cares one way or the other about the squad 95% of the time. They get almost zero play where I live.
Meanwhile, his Rasmussen numbers just dropped again. Approval Rating (44%) and Approval Index (-14) are at their lowest points since February, and "Strongly Approve" (30%) is at its lowest point since March 2018.knowledge dropper said:Our beloved President is touting that polling shows support from a majority of Americans.

Does the average person care or even know about "the squad?" I don't really see why they are so important to some.
I don't know for sure but I bet if I when around here asking about "the squad" most people would think I was asking about the 2019 Broncos.
Who’s Steve King? The guy that wrote Pet Cemetery. I thought he was anti Trump.
In theory, they shouldn't be. Nancy Pelosi rightly pointed out that they're four votes, less than 1% of the House. But as others have noted, Fox News viewers can't get enough of them, Trump wants to run against them, and Pelosi would prefer that they sit down and shut up.
I wouldn't expect most people to know who he is either but here in Iowa it's hard not to know who he is. He's a huge embarrassment to the state.
Sounds like the Republicans do a much better job marginalizing his views. I know nothing about him.
I don't know much at all about the squad either. I don't know why they matter so much. King is just a racist republican from Iowa, that's the majority of my knowledge. I don't think he matters that much either.
"Congressman Steve King. Great guy, great guy. I even liked him when he was endorsing Ted. He was endorsing Ted and I still liked him." (link)
Exactly other the a few house members in position of power most people don't know or care about repersentives that aren't theirs.
I don't think Trump fans care about this, just as they don't generally care about policy. It's an anti-policy, anti-expert movement. The lack of policy, the lack of knowledge on Trump's part is the point.
Since most of his views are shared by the President (who has lavishly praised King in the past) I don’t think this is exactly true.
Well he’s right. Reid’s a dull guy (I’ve never heard a more boring speaker in my life, full stop) but like Pelosi and McConnell, he’s a canny politician and he knows how to win.
Neither her rise or fall is that important. Her key to success in this race has always been to stay close in South Carolina and use that to win in California. She has about as much chance now as she’s always had- the odds are against but not impossible.
What will...a former attorney's opinion to a report he has not seen or heard?
This should sew up another electoral landslide, if the predictions reign true.

Regardless, it would be great to see justice served.
