      The Democratic leadership hates AOC not because she's unpopular but because she's popular.https://twitter.com/ZachMontellaro/status/1150921399462178816 …

      .@AOC raised a big $1.2 million in the second quarter. She'll probably be the highest fundraising House Democrat this quarter (outside of leadership), which is especially remarkable considering a whopping 84 percent is from small donors https://twitter.com/CATargetBot/status/1150901692138844160 …

      Alternately: they quite like her, but don't think she's helpful in swing states/districts. There's a difference.

      But she carries influence well beyond it.

      Pelosi is likely even more unpopular in swing districts, yet the Democrats rightly made her the face of the party in midterms and it didn't hurt her.

          It's quite a feat to include two facts in a single Tweet, neither of which are true. Almost Trumpian.

          Perhaps the fact that Dems made her the face of the party and yet picked up 40 seats means that “Pelosi is even likely more unpopular in swing districts” requires further examination

          As I recall, quite a significant number of democrats, *especially* those in swing districts, made voting against her as speaker a part of their platforms.https://www.axios.com/democrats-voted-against-pelosi-for-speaker-d73c4d24-87f3-4bf7-a054-e5dfab32a84e.html …

          In what possible universe did Democrats make Pelosi the face of the party in 2018? And where is the evidence that Pelosi is less popular in swing districts? If you extrapolate from nationwide polls, that seems unlikely.
