WHAT?  YOU MEAN AMERICANS LIKE FREE ENTERPRISE? – AT 11:51 A.M. ET:  We are now in the second week of clinical hysteria over the nomination of a socialist to be the Democratic candidate for Congress in New York's 14th Congressional District.  Some journalists believe their messiah has come.  Others believe that this means Bernie Sanders will be our next president.  And how about a statue of Karl Marx on the White House lawn?  Or a Joe Stalin Day, with half off for baseball tickets?

Just a sec.  Aside from the fact that the aforementioned socialist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, won with a voter turnout of 13%, and each day sounds more like a dime-store Evita Peron, the American people don't seem quite ready for the little red books.  From Rasmussen: 

In New York, a Democratic Socialist candidate just unseated a near-20-year veteran in one of the state’s Democratic congressional primaries, and she contends she represents the Democratic Party's future. But voters reject socialism in no uncertain terms.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 74% of Likely U.S. Voters prefer a free market economic system over a socialist system. Only 13% think socialism is a better economic system, and just as many (13%) are undecided.

COMMENT:  Even liberal Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois commented that Evita, I mean, Alexandria, was not the kind of Democrat who could win in the Midwest.  Once voters get to know what socialism really means, I think this new hotshot will be cooled down considerably.
