Originally published at: LURCHING LEFT: Cortez-Backed Candidate DEFEATS 10-Term Dem in Massachusetts | Sean Hannity
The Democratic Party continued to lurch left this week when Boston City Council member Ayanna Pressley defeated 10-term Representative Michael Capuano; stunning political insiders just weeks ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
Pressley -notably backed by fellow progressive and liberal outsider Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez- is running unopposed this fall and will likely be the first African-American woman elected to the House from Massachusetts.
“The prospect of a Pressley upset had drawn some comparisons to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s defeat of Crowley in June. The New York democratic socialist had endorsed Pressley, as did Our Revolution, the offshoot of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign,” writes Fox News.
“This is a fight for the soul of our party and the future of our democracy,” Pressley told reporters. “This is a disruptive candidacy, a grassroots coalition. It is broad and diverse and deep. People of every walk of life.”

People of Midwest and other rural areas must realize that if they vote democrat in their home state/district they’re putting those snobbish extremist from coastal states in power…not them.
These radicals will drown out their voices.
and the people of the coastal united states have to realize that voting for a Republican is like pulling the lever for the liar in chief AKA Donald Trump.
a lot of the blue wave will come from Callie (six seats) and Jersey (4 seats).
