Establishment Democrat Joe Crowley's nearly two-decade career in Congress came to an end Tuesday night in a shocking primary loss to 28-year-old Democratic Socialist and former Bernie Sanders organizer Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - a harsh critic of Israel and immigration enforcement.
Crowley - the 56-year-old Chairman of the House Democratic caucus had long been viewed as a potential House Speaker, and has been a staple in New York City politics as chairman of the Queens County Democratic Party.
His loss to insurgent candidate Ocasio-Cortez, his first primary challenge in 14 years, is a major upset to establishment Democrats trying to cobble together a "blue wave" of progressive support to combat Republicans in the upcoming midterms. Instead, it looks like Democrats are as fractured as ever.

This is exactly what the local progressives are planning on doing in Wicomico elections. If you are a Democrat you are a fool to vote for any of these ANTIFA Progressives. You will not be able to afford to pay your taxes in Wicomico County. Your homes and farms will end up in foreclosure. Don't be a Fool! Don't vote for the ANTIFA Candidates.
ANTIFA Wicomico includes Jamaad Gould, James Yamakawa, Amber Green, Jake Day, Jake Burdett, Jared Schablein, Earle Hatton, Kirkland Hall, Michele Gregory, Michael Feldman, Josh Hastings, Dan O'Hare and quite a few others. These are the ones that are dangerous because they are trying to take over county politics.
Some of these idiots are running for office and no matter what your party is, Democrat or Republican, you would be foolish to vote for them. Although they are on the ticket as Democrats, they don't identify as Democrats, they identify are Progressives and they are talking about bringing civil war to the streets.
Do not vote for them!!
People need to see that what is happening in New York is very scary. DeBlasio is a communist and now Ocasio-Cortez. Americans need to sit up and take notice to make sure this gets nipped in the bud.
They have NO ideas.
Unless they have also redefined lying, hypocrisy, theft, off the charts strangeness, and inability to add 2 + 2 and get 4, as new "ideas".
Trump will CONTINUE TO BEAT THEIR ACE and if obama gets involved, Trump will beat their ace in all 57 states.
You got that, right?
Keep cheering.
