Fearing the next AOC, House Democrats hoard campaign cash

[Talk_Radio]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Somewhere out there, the next Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lurks. So wary House Democrats are amassing campaign war chests to scare off progressive upstarts from challenging them in primaries — or trounce them if they try.

A look at 41 incumbent House Democrats who face potential 2020 party primary opponents shows 16 have already stockpiled over $1 million in campaign funds. The figures from Federal Election Commission reports for the first six months of this year show that 20 raised over $500,000 during that period alone.

WTF?

The Democrats are piss weak. They should be out there looking for all the AOC they can get.

I guess they just need another five years in the wilderness to think about it.

Maybe by 2024 they have their own Trump to Trump Trump.

Excuse me, but isn't this the same party always bleating about
getting the money out of politics?
