Republicans foolishly believe a black conservative woman is going to defeat AOC next year.

"While Scherie Murray could potentially channel greater Republican opposition to Ocasio-Cortez -- who, in her calls to combat climate change and raise the minimum wage, has become a national face of democratic socialism -- her bid is a longshot in a Democratic stronghold."

In the last generation, the right side of the ballot has gotten no more than 21% of the vote, and that was in a bad year (2010).

1. All I can say is let them foolishly spend their campaign dollars on lost causes

[onenote]

2. They're hoping AOC or others will attack her opponent on racial terms

so they can turn around accuse AOC et al of being racists.

3. I love it!!

The more they believe it, the more disappointed they'll be when AOC romps her.

4. She's already dead in the water

Since her twitter feed had nothing but overflowing praise and celebration over AOC's election win last year...

[NBachers]

5. "She's a girl! That's the key! You see, all the other girls'll vote for her. It can't fail!"

6. I don't think it is healthy for anyone to run unopposed

Just my opinion that I think it is good for the electoral process to have opposition regardless of the odds of winning

7. Certainly. Still, the GOP is going play this up 24/7.

8. ... Murray says she's a loyal Republican who plans on backing Donald Trump for re-election

to the White House. “I voted for President Trump in 2016 and support him today,” she said. “He’s delivered on his promises” ... https://nypost.com/2019/07/19/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-challenger-once-supported-obama/

I see crazy people

[Wounded Bear]

9. Yeah, that'll work against AOC...

[TheRealNorth]

10. That tellls just how scared shitless the Republicans are of AOC.

That they would voluntarily give money to a black woman.

11. Go for it. This district is as dark blue as it gets.

No amount of money on the Republican side is going to swing it.
