    It may or may not be illegal. If it is, she will only be looking at a fine just like the Obama camaign did when they got caught.

    agreed, but it will be a stain on her. Her constituents are watching her.

    Of course. It will be a hypocrisy which can't be covered up.

    well, she did screw a lot of people out of a job because she didn't know the basic mechanics of business economics. They'll long remember her for that, too.

    Why? Simply because she is sadly emblematic of our failing educational system that has become more about socialist indoctrination than about learning a discipline.

    The only problem there is that more people than you would believe are with her on that one.

    Trump's polling numbers in New York are horrible. AOC's are even worse.

    The OP asks why conservatives are so obsessed with AOC. At this point, I speculate that it's mostly sexual. I mean there's obvious political disagreement that they have with her, with Tlaib, with Omar, etc. (hell there are some areas where I too disagree with these individuals), but you have to ask yourself what all these individual members of the House of Representatives have in common because they have common characteristics besides just being Democrats and even besides being progressive Democrats. They are all, for example, relatively young, "exotic" women, where, by contrast, statistically speaking, the average viewer of Fox News is a disgruntled elderly white man. You see what I'm getting at here? Sexual fascination / sexual envy of the youth plays a certain role here, I think.

    They won't admit it, but I think that's probably what it really is on some level.

    Sexual? I can't speak for everybody but -- on no level. Moths are drawn to the brightest light. She's getting (and Omar is as well) the most attention from the media so naturally she's drawing the most fire. It only took 119 posts to get here but I was confident we would. Thank you.

    ...On the other hand, pink hat wearers' obsession with Trump raises similar questions. Daddy issues, rich powerful man, comfortable life, long sexual history of beautiful models etc. I'm wondering if secretly the hat wearers want to emulate those models.
