alexandria ocasio-cortez has arrived.casio-cortez made waves two weeks ago for unseating a 10-term democratic incumbent who was chairman of the house democratic caucus, winning with 57% of the vote. ocasio-cortez ran to the left of her opponent, forcing him to join her there. she even tweeted out a picture of the holes she wore through the sole of her shoes pounding the pavement of new york's 14th congressional district. her win was a political earthquake. she was elected not by criticizing donald trump, but by making a positive case for democratic socialism and racial justice. according to pundits, she is high-speed wi-fi in a system still impressed by dial-up, a social-media influencer who can sell policy and sell out lipstick with a single tweet. there is no denying she is the progressive "it" girl, as much for her ideas as for her sheer political talent. a campaign worker wrote, "ocasio-cortez is as articulate as she is relatable, as charismatic as she is fierce." in the last two weeks, she has become the vanguard of

jesse: charlie, did if you know ocasio-cortez graduated with an economics degree?> she must have missed a couple class. if socialist professors believe the nonsense they profess, why don't they teach for free? why do the sell the books back to the kids and charge so much for credit hours. just do it for free. get rid of the profit structure and be a true example of that in a marxist society. i believe this is flood anti-americanism. we are the only country in the history of the world where even those who hate it refuse to leave. the biggest proponents of socialism aren't those waiting in bread lines. jesse: you don't see those from venezuela coming over and advocating for socialist reforms. we have 4.1% gdp. record unemployment. read mains of korean war vets from being returned from north korea. it seems like the socialist left wants to stop the progress. >> so much of the radical left which is the mainstream of the democrat party doesn't just hate america. they hate the fact that we are found on this principle of unleashing hard work ambitious people. under obama

mike: joe lieberman is concerned ocasio cortez has taken the party too far to the left. take a listen to this. >> if the victory of ms. ocasio cortez in bronx and queens is taken as a direction of which the democratic party should go nationally, democratic party's not going to elect the president in 2020. mike: is that a legitimate concern for your side, tiffany? >> i don't think is. first of all, i think the fact that joe lieberman emerged from political irrelevance to even

think of ocasio-cortez and new york's 14th, for instance. these are not the districts where control of congress is being decided and not a way to prove that the movement can win over middle of the road voters in swing districts. so what about the districts where the democratic establishment is carrying the day? well guess what, of the 19 districts where establishment candidates have prevailed over surrogate progressives, 11 are rated competitive by cook. these are some of the races democrats have to win if they going to take control of the house in november. so, is the sanders wing of the party having an impact on the democratic party and its politics? sure. progressive candidates in safe districts like ocasio-cortez will likely be serving in congress this time next year and wins do equal momentum for the movement. the left's success is also certainly being overhyped and fox echo chamber is helping that cause as well. they want to claim to moderate voters, hey, look, the far-left is taking over the democratic party. in places that actually m

mike: ocasio cortez moving incumbent democrats too far to the left?to encourage the democratic party to make her the face of the party and adopt all her positions. if that does occur, then lieberman is right. the democrats may never win another election. in fact i have got to imagine the democrats running in the trump red states, democrats running in montana, missouri, where she is, mccaskill has to be cringing every time she gets coverage up there. heitkamp in north dakota. these positions don't play well. one thing when you have ocasio who is making comments with this far left wing ideas but when the democratic party starts to adopt a form of economic standard that is completely contrary to our american values it shows the party has gotten off the rails and the inmates are now running the asylum. mike: what about the point there are a lot of red state democrats in states that president trump won up for reelection this year? are they being dragged too far to the left? >> i don't think so. i don't think that we can just focus on red state democrats. i

but alexandria ocasio-cortez said it best by saying they have forgotten and ignored the base. they have taken the working communities and people of color for granted and assumed we'll tbien their half step or bland proposals and just take it and we are not. so it behooves them to bring more complexity before that. and also to tone it down. it represents a small faction. and oversimplifies the issues. david: the people who represent the trump supporters are mostly people that the left used to be able to appeal to, but they don't appeal to them anymore because they didn't like being out of work. >> legal immigrants who like trump and like the president, who don't want to see illegal immigration happen unfettered, i think with the democratic party specifically dick durbin called i.c.e. agents a group of incompetent. >> the president is working to fix the broken system and you will continue pushing through that. gerri: trade tensions continue to take centers aging washington and wall street. president trump speaking with mexico's new president and a trade with the trump administra
