With Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeating Dem party leader Joe Crowley in New York last night, Hillary superfan Peter Daou is calling for new Dem leadership. Nancy Pelosi? OUT. Ocasio-Cortez and Maxine Waters? IN:
DEM FRIENDS: We need new leadership for our party that is willing to take strong progressive stands and willing to fight encroaching fascism with strength and integrity. Give me #MaxineWaters and #Ocasio2018 over what we're seeing out of the Dem leadership in Washington. #ny14

We're in a fight for survival, and within lawful and non-violent limits, we MUST take unwavering stands in defense of our core values, which are American values. There's simply no room to equivocate. And we have to put 2016 behind us and join forces, no matter how hard that is.

Republicans, just sit right back and watch it happen. It will be glorious:

Ocasio-Cortez is already on record supporting an end to ICE and will push for impeachment if Dems take control of the House in November:
In an intvw w/ @PoppyHarlowCNN, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she supports abolishing ICE because "its extrajudicial nature is baked into the structure of the agency," and while there's a "need to make sure that our borders are secure," there should be "a humane agency," to do so

CNN: “Would you push for a Trump impeachment should you win?”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “Well, I would. I would support impeachment. I think that, you know, we have the grounds to do it.”

She’s sure about ICE and impeachment, but not so sure about Nancy Pelosi:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will not say if she would support Nancy Pelosi for speaker if she wins in November and Democrats take the House: "It's far too early to make those kind of commitments right now" https://t.co/QPoCbqwhc1 https://t.co/aG8flzJLLn

Dems are reportedly meeting now to discuss the next steps, because it doesn’t look good for them:
Hse Dems talking this morning after last night’s shocking defeat of Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-NY). Win by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez…roils future House Democratic leadership races. Crowley was viewed as a potential successor to Pelosi and/or Hoyer.
