Cortez

Newcomer Ocasio-Cortez wins upset in Queens congressional primary. She's young, attractive and charismatic. She makes a lot of statements that are non-nonsensical and shows her inexperience but she is still attracting lots of attention. This very similar thing happened to Sarah Palin when she burst on the scene several years ago. She too made remarks showing her ignorance of the world and the world of politics. There is a major difference in the way these two are treated as individuals. With Palin the criticism became personal and she was pilloried with insults about her as a person whereas the critic of Cortez is mostly about her position on issues.
