See this thread for instance. Lots of 'right up to the line' positing, in the OP and some of the replies.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210889876

such as

Ocasio-Cortez got 15,897 in the primary. That's around 57.5%. Still, Crowley could fairly easily break even with Democrats in the General Election and then pick up more than 50% of independents, he can probably pull it off. I think I'm being generous giving Ocasio 50%. She easily could end up under water.



Her recent actions may cause him to, I am sure that he has people asking him to. People that sat out the primary get a second chance and she has built up some hard recent feelings.




He can win and change back to Dem. That happens some. Bernie runs in the Dem primary in Vermont, win it, then run in the General free if a democrat.


Ocasio-Cortez has made some really bad recent decisions. I am sure there are people asking Crowley to rescind his pledge not to run, and if he does, given recent events, few would blame him.



That all said, I do see that Crowley is NOT playing ball with this at all, so hopefully there will not be any further issues after Liebermans's pop-off.

I'm hoping these are rookie mistakes...but not encouraging. nt SunSeeker Jul 2018 #1
