Ocasio-Cortez: Why Don’t Billionaires Like Howard Schultz Have To ‘Work Their Way Up’ Before Running For POTUS
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Because both he and Trump achieved a lot more than you did as a bartender? These Democrats really are having a meltdown over him.

Celebrity Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez strikes again, this time asking why people don’t demand billionaires like Starbucks founder Howard Schultz don’t need to “work their way up” before running for president:
Schultz, who grew up poor in Brooklyn housing project, the first in his family to go to college, sold copiers after graduating and then started what became the multi-billion-dollar Starbucks company should totally have to work his way up some more before daring to run for office?

He did work his way up through life. He wasn't given a silver spoon like this idiot was.
I have been trying to give her a chance, but she really is just plain stupid. How did people actually vote for her?
Very simple. Her voter base is as stupid as she is...
Lol, what do you expect?
She was elected in one of the most liberal districts in the USA.
Oh yeah....Hillary voters
Actually, even a box of rocks is genius in comparison...
She needs to learn to just shut her pie-hole from time to time.
Her and Trump are a lot alike in that regard.
Oh heavens no.
Let them open their mouths and leave no doubt.
What's that old saying? Better to keep your mouth shut and let the world think you a fool than to open your mouth and prove it. AOC seems to do that every time she opens her mouth...
Government service was never supposed to be someone's lifelong profession.

If Palin was called Cairbou barbie, I assume the left will start calling her Bronx Barbie soon?
I sincerely hope he does run.....
Just the fracturing of the liberal base I'm already seeing here in Seattle is worth it....
I can imagine what he's going to do nationally to the democrat party.
Howard Schultz is a democrat, a so-called moderate democrat about a step and a half to the right of Hillary......
He's announced he's running as an independent so he's not tied to the democrat party and it's ultra leftist boat anchor chain.
Since when has anyone seen a democrat not welded to party? the whole democrat ideal is welded to party, The group is more than the individual remember? It's why they have all these separate individual constituencies, so the party remains dominant over all....
Howard Schultz is no different, just smarter than the average democrat with the money to do as he pleases....
And the rank and file hate it.......
AOC? she is so rank and file.....
It would be great if he ran as an Independent, but the concern is that he would not only attract Democratic voters, but because of his wealth and accomplishment as a self-made successful man, a lot of Republican voters as well. Wouldn't it be a lark if his "Independant" party should win the bundle?
To coin a couple of my favorite loony quotes... "The world will end in 12 years" anyhow, so "what difference does it make"./s
How many votes did she get? I'm betting the wide majority of those voters miss both the irony and hypocrisy. That, or they simply embrace both. Neither of which is very laughable.
What a dingbat. I saw an article yesterday, don't remember where, that said there were some Democrats that were embarrassed by her and were thinking of getting someone to primary her and make her a one termer. One of the quotes by one of those democrats was that there were plenty of people who have waited a long time to get that seat.
OCA came back and said just because you have been waiting does not give you the right to the seat. She said she worked hard to get the seat, like being a bartender and going to a few events during the campaign.
Now, she wants to criticize someone who actually did work hard to get to where they are and make the money he did, saying he did not work hard. The truth is she is far more upset that he has billions and no one has made him give her all of it.
Like Hillary during 2016, she will be the gift that keeps on giving to Republicans to take back the house in 2020.
Facts don't matter when your morally right....
occasional cortex is the gift that will keep on giving... LOL
I'll bet Sandy was a lousy bartender.
Wow. A lot of hatred all in one place. Just for one woman.
Meh.
Making fun of her is just low hanging fruit.
True enough. I say enough about someone else.
Until she gets one of these "IDEAS" she talks about into a bill , and gets it voted on she is still just one of 430something members of the lower house of congress that happens to sound like the power puff girl "Bubbles"( bubbles was smarter) IMHO, she can blovulate all she wants . lets see what she gets done in her 2 year term.
Probably about as much as Hillary got done in her term. When we asked liberals for her "accomplishments", they all cut and pasted a long winded "she supported", she talked about", "she held talks on"....but zero substance.
We will see much of the same with AOC.
OMG - the things this woman says are simply remarkable and very telling. She really doesn't have a clue.
Maybe she can make attacking billionaires her WWI...wait, maybe she already has...after all Global Warming is her WWII and we're all gonna die in 12 years!
*sidebar - don't they teach history in school anymore??
She "graduated" cum laude with a BA degree in International Relations and Economics from Boston University?
The worst thing is that she actually believes what she thinks and says...
Not a fan but the bottom line is this. She has the opportunity to have a much larger affect on your life then you do on her's. Unless you live in her district and can vote her out.
The facts and just the facts.
Unless she wises up real fast, she is definitely going to be a one term wonder...
That would all depend on what her constituents in her district think about her.
Considered the ''dumbest person in congress'', Louie Gohmert (Texas) keeps getting reelected. So there ya go Doc.
Okay, you got me there. She is still in the running though...
LOL, all politics are local Doc.
