She graduated cum laude from Boston University with a degree in International Relations and Economics.
Let that sink in.
Then consider she took that degree and *tended bar*.
And she wants to radically revamp our entire economy, as a freshman Rep...and people pay attention to her...
...because she’s cute.

High-speed rail is all over Europe. I guess they don't fly there anymore either.

How are they going to provide heat when a sub-zero polar vortex descends on the Midwest?
No coal, no nuke, no natural gas, no oil...
How are you going to retrofit the trucks bringing goods to market? Electric motors? For 75,000lb trucks?
How will enough electricity be generated to charge all of the electric vehicles? Wind power and solar? Hell the solar plants near Vegas are powered by natural gas at night.
LOL
Even if the USA went to zero emissions, what are China, India, Russia going to do?
I know...invade the USA for its resources.

The next Major Threat to our Industry.
The next Major Threat to our Industry, our Country, and our Democracy....is and will continue to be "low information voters".
Our collective inability as a nation to apply critical thinking skills, sift information, and form policy based on logic is a rising threat to national security. There are clear examples of this trend both the Red and Blue sides of the isle, and it's naive to think this is a partisan phenomenon. If we don't stop putting grandstanding lunatics in office, we'll be barreling towards a full-on Idiocracy.

I actually don’t think she is as stupid as she lets of. She knows deep down that everything coming out of her mouth is absolutely insane; but she also knows her voting base is stupid enough to fall for it and keep her in power. She is dangerous.
