      All smoke, no fire.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        She's 230th out of 240. Geez - I wonder who was worse?

        Bills that failed for AOC included her federal overhaul of public housing, a ban on fracking and a mandate to provide full federal public benefits to undocumented immigrants.

        Insiders to the workings of Democratic House members say that many of AOC's colleague find her to be alienating.

        'Tweeting is easy, governing is hard. You need to have friends. You need to understand the committee process, you need to be willing to make sacrifices,' one insider said. 'Her first day in Congress … she decided to protest outside of Nancy Pelosi's office.'

        Another said that for AOC, 'legislation was never her focus. It was media and narrative.'

              @mik quoting someone else:

              'Tweeting is easy, governing is hard. You need to have friends. You need to understand the committee process, you need to be willing to make sacrifices,' ...
              .

                    Interesting website. Her score places her 230/240 for the Democrats. Her score would have her at 133/205 on the Republic side.
