personifies where we expected things to go down the line. she s the kennedy of the future. she s got this down pat and she has also nailed it. and as a woman in a male-dominated fields. woman in male dominated fields we have to work like this all the time. she s the candidate of the nowture. she s coming. they came alive through aoc. they came alive to talk about aoc. what s so interesting to here democratic voters say that representative cortez is the candidate of the future is not only perhaps is cortez excited about, that but there might be republicans who are excited about that the you hear her being demonized more than any other person than perhaps nancy pelosi. it doesn t phase them. the demonization or the criticism her hasn t made a dent in hair enthusias
there is some political danger in the short term i think for democrats that these proposals seem too radical and utopian and even threatening to ordinary people. but what democrats like cortez are trying to do is to shift the entire structure of the debate to make thinkable policies that in the past, say, in the clinton and obama era could not even be discussed. former maryland congressman john delaney i guess running a year and a half now got in in july of 2017, he was asked here on cnn last night if it s a disadvantage in this party, this cycle to be running as a white man. here is his response. i don t have any advantage running for president as a white man which i would have across history. right? so the way i look at it right now, i think the democratic party voters are going to elect the person they think is the best leader and they are not thinking about this other stuff. two questions. what do you think about his
bernie sanders when he talks about socialism is talking about norway and denmark but talking venezuela more frightening and suggesting to americans this would not be america as we know it any more. . given donald trump is in a relative weak position, i think this is a good play for him to make. in the same vein, the green new deal which was released a couple of weeks ago, representative cortez was out this weekend with her inaugural address. do you think this is for some of the democratic candidates who have endorsed it? i think it s important to understand that supporters of cortez are playing a longer game here and trying to shift the terms of american political debate and move them substantially to the left in the way that ronald reagan was able to move the entire of political framework to the right.
pass any smell test. it doesn t provide any value to the american people or to any citizen no any citizen anywhere in the world of even their nation. so there is a real moral deficit here going on from representative cortez and i think she needs to go back and take a look at that and question her own morality. ed: i was talking to one of republican colleagues who privately told me he represents congresswoman cortez she is honest and direct about what she wants to do with the country unlike other democrats in the congress who say i m kind of moderate and really they believe some of this radical stuff. but, to your point, congresswoman ocasio-cortez seemed to be all over the map this week on whether or not it was really a government takeover. look how she framed it herself. not us but her own words within a few hours apart. watch. i think one way that the right does try to mischaracterize what we re doing as though it s some kind of massive government
song. i support a new deal. when one of the founders came back instead of calling police gave her a ticket to the state of the union. and he is drafting a green new deal resolution with representative cortez. how specific are we getting. it does set a high goal of greenhouse gas emitting sources into the atmosphere. we are going to announce at the right time what it is. this nation is asking for action and action now. the original new deal helped pull america out of the great depression with massive work
