(82,383 posts)She comes from a very blue district. She won by winning the Democratic primary in a very blue district. So how can she be the second coming of George Washington? Because she is young and beautiful? I think some people have a crush. She is just one representative of 435. Plus she seems not to be learning about how to gain position in the House. Just because she is young does not mean she represents the future - maybe the future of urban blue areas, but not the country.
She doesn't grate against me so much as the people who insist she deserves already, without having proven herself, to be Speaker of the House or even President! As if winning a seat in a blue district where she didn't even have to run against a Republican means she is a future President.
