Ocasio Cortez Close To LOSING Her Seat In Congress, Bail Reform BACKFIRED And Democrats Declare War. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has been waging a massive battle against establishment Democrats for some time now and they have responded in kind. The far left candidate has seen her popularity collapse in national polls and swing state polls and her recent push for bail reform in new York has backfired tremendously with a massive 43 point swing from favorable to unfavorable. Now she is facing a major challenge in the upcoming primary which is in only 4 months and Democrats are poised to eliminate her district outright in the 2020 census. AOC has poked the bear and the bear is poking back and it seems likely she won’t survive her reelection. But her victory was a fluke and now the american people have a chance to respond.
