AOC: A 'dangerous' mistake for Democrats not to embrace eventual nominee, whoever it is
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive rockstar who is currently Sen. Bernie Sanders’ most powerful surrogate, warns that Democrats will be making a “dangerous” mistake—and hurt their odds of beating Donald Trump in a general election—if they do not rally around the eventual Democratic nominee.
Ocasio-Cortez also discouraged Democrats from using party rules or other mechanisms to block Sanders if he advances.
Sanders’ strong showing in the state triggered red flags within the Democratic party in the last few weeks. On Sunday, former Secretary of State John Kerry and a powerful surrogate for former Vice President Joe Biden was reportedly overheard complaining that Sanders is “taking down” the party. Asked how Sanders will appeal to voters who think he’s too far left, Ocasio-Cortez said that Sanders’ authenticity is how he’ll pull in voters who are more ideologically conservative.

AOC to Democrats: 'Whoever Gets the Nomination, We Have to Rally Behind Them'“Vote blue no matter who” is a common refrain in this election, one meant both to underscore the urgency of getting Donald Trump out of office as well as to chastise Democratic voters who were so unhappy with Hillary Clinton as the nominee that they stayed home or voted third party in 2016. But the refrain has new meaning now that Bernie Sanders is surging in the polls, prompting some alleged Vote Blue diehards to waffle on whether or not they’ll support any Democrat who wins the nomination. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would like everyone to please calm down.
