[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4563624, member: 24302"] All those programs you mentioned didn't occur in the past 28 years. I didn't complain, just pointed out it's unlikely the Dems fought "tooth and nail" to get those programs passed when they controlled everything. As for Omar she ran in a district that hasn't had a Republican representative since 1962. And the large Somali population there was a big component in her constituency. Besides the questions about her brother there's the matter of her affair that led to her divorce and marrying her campaign consultant. She has paid his company hundreds of thousands of dollars since they married. It's not the Republicans she has to worry about, it's the Democrats. Including her there are 5 candidates in the August primary and one in particular has been put up by the Democrat party and millions have been flowing into his coffers, far outpacing her. He's a moderate. Her attacks on Israel have greatly offended the Jewish community in Minneapolis and elsewhere and they're pushing for change. That other member of "The Squad" from Detroit, Tlaib, is also in trouble. Incumbents rarely lose except in their first reelection. If a politician is very outspoken in their first term that often works against them. AOC appears to be in a district that is about bulletproof, but Omar isn't. And when looking at politics riots in the streets don't do well at the ballot box. Politics 101. [/QUOTE]
