The fascinating part of the AOC documentary is that her opponent didn't even feel the need to appear at early events. - David Jul 22, 19:19 6
- Crowley was in his 10th term in one of the safest districts in the country. I don't think he'd ever had a primary opponent before. -- nm - Tim Jul 22, 19:22
- Yeah, he didn't sense the tide turning -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 19:20 4
  - You think nobody would get caught napping like this again, but Eliot Engel wasn't paying attention. -- nm - Tim Jul 22, 19:23 3
    - I think Engel was paying attention but thought it couldn't happen to him? And then he was caught on hot mic basically making his opponent's point. - ty97 Jul 22, 19:25 2
      - "If I didn't have a primary, I wouldn't care." Yeah, you deserve to lose when you say that. -- nm - Tim Jul 22, 19:26 1
