Topman van Democraten in Congres verliest voorverkiezing van Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez en draagt klassieker van Bruce Springsteen aan haar op. Dat is nog eens gracieus je nederlaag erkennen. Crowley werd genoemd als mogelijke kandidaat Speaker. Nu carrière als rocker? #NY14 https://twitter.com/katie_honan/status/1011795518106800128 …

So, something pretty remarkable is going down in the #NY14 primary. A massive underdog who was largely written off as certain to lose even a few months ago, @Ocasio2018, appears poised to not just pull of it but stomp her opponent by 12+ points. There's more though. 1/

One important aspect of Ocasio-Cortez's #NY14 campaign was that she put fight against mass incarceration front and center: in this thread she sets a goal of reducing the country's prison population by 50%, & outlines these steps: https://mobile.twitter.com/Ocasio2018/status/975006777459822592 …

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 28, out-organizing a longtime incumbent with a compelling message who refused to debate her is exactly the feel-good story we all needed this week. This is a good thing for the Democratic Party. An incredibly good thing. #NY14

As depressing as the last year has been, I now have a 10-day old daughter and she enters a world where a 28-year old Latinx socialist can defeat a 10-term establishment incumbent. I feel great about that #NY14

This is the Democratic Party’s Eric Cantor moment. Let this be a huge wake up call: it’s time that we lead from the LEFT. #NY14

"Not all Democrats are the same" - and tonight, @Ocasio2018 proved that New York voters want real progressives. On September 13, a similar reckoning is coming for the IDC State Senators. #NY14 #NoIDCNY

For years, Rep. Joe Crowley (D) cruised without opposition while #NY14 demographics/lines shifted. Tonight, underlying weakness suddenly exposed.

.@Ocasio2018 was an remarkable candidate and ran an incredible campaign, and wow - she absolutely destroyed Crowley. This is huge news in NYC, but also potentially earth-shaking for the Democratic party. #NY14

Just spoke with a Democratic City Council staffer and former Bernie Sanders campaign worker. He says: “Forget Queens, this is going to change New York City and national politics. We’re witnessing history.” Yup. What a night. Almost to @Ocasio2018 HQ now. #NY14

Just wanna remind everyone that Ocasio was being outspent by Crowley 10 to 1. Crowley has the backing of PACs and even republican money. Ocasio was powered by the people. The people have spoken and chosen #ny14

Results so far in #NY14 are proof that Democratic voters are ready for a new generation of leaders to take the mantle. We need to elect more young, diverse leaders!
