She's not the face of the party

Because the media is concentrated in NYC, they are putting way too much emphasis on her victory. Yes, it was a big victory, but she will be representing the Bronx and Queens. She will be one of 435 representatives. She will not represent anymore people than my congressman. She is not the face of the Democratic Party. Her victory doesn't mean that the party is in disarray or in trouble. She beat an old white man in a majority-minority district. A man that had lost touch and didn't run much of a campaign. I like her and she is a wonderful representative of the party, but these proclamations about her are ridiculous.
