    Interesting. ASSUMING all these words in the article aren’t hollow, many colleagues do support AOC. If it wasn’t for ol’ Nancy sticking her finger in the dike this may not have been too controversial.

    Problem is this reads, and probably is, a buying time sort of deal. To the old geriatric leadership AOC is a threat to how they do things. More importantly, like with Bernie, she’s a threat due to her supporters.
