‘The President Won This One’: CNN’s Tapper Details How Trump Outflanked Ocasio-Cortez And Her Leninist Girl Scout Troop

House Democrats may have appeared united in the resolution condemning President Trump for a series of tweets aimed at Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), but behind the scenes we have chaos. 
A few talked to Tapper off the record and noted this whole fiasco has been a massive win for the Trump White House. There was infighting between AOC and Speaker Pelosi, which is good, but what’s even better is forcing the Democratic leadership to remembrance this Leninist Girl Scout Troop from Hell and their extremist agenda and anti-Semitic remarks. Oh, and Omar made sure to make it clear to CBS’s Gayle King that she doesn’t regret her remarks. 
“The president won this one,” said one House Democrat to Tapper, “What the president has done is politically brilliant. Pelosi was trying to marginalize these folks and the president has now identified the entire party with them.”
GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

Most brilliant part of the speech? Trump called AOC only "Cortez" and demystified and de-romanticized her name. "Who has time for three names?" By calling her "Cortez" repeatedly it made her common folk. Like your plumber, Cortez. smile

It also connects her to Cortez the Conquistador who leveled the Aztec empire.
