Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has had roughly 90 days to make dozens of news media appearances since the primary. On 7 November, the day after the election.....I believe that Cortez-mania will have collapsed finally.
My prediction is that Joe Crowley....previously the Democratic guy for the 14th District who got beaten in the primary by Cortez.....will win the election as a member of a unknown party in the district. Just my humble guess, but I think he'll clear with just over fifty percent of the vote. The Republican for the District....Anthony Pappas, will likely get near 15-percent of the vote, and the remainder will be for Cortez (35-percent).
What really happened in the primary? I think the Latino population of the 14th District (roughly 50-percent of the locals)....came out in force during the primary....knowing little about Cortez except she had a Latino-name, and did something that they rarely do....show up and vote in a primary situation.
What happens to Cortez after the loss? I suspect that MSNBC will hire her to be a commentator and regular on a couple of shows.....to keep her in the 'mix'. It's not really over because she will likely run again in the House race of 2020, and consolidate more votes.
