These are always amusing.
Round two. Remember last time, when they flew them here to the U.S. and kept the aircraft in flight?
Sure, Ebola is able to spread more crazy in Africa because they have burial rituals that involve passing dead bodies around, among other things - but they do love to keep the doors open to international travel to those places. Because, you know, flesh-eating viruses are fun for the whole family.
It's even worse for them if it's a white male in his 50s. That means he's an incident infection from someone else who carried it out of Africa.
Better start casting nets around that flight and stop dicking around with political correctness.
That said - it could be, as you seem to imply, just a distraction from the political issues.
Why were there rumors of a porn video?
Why is the media hounding her so much? They are covering her and sifting her statements like she's running for President or was nominated to the Supreme Court.
Leverage.
"The party can protect you."
Look at how she voted, recently.

Why be one of so few to vote against? Signal. "Go fuck a duck."

You are worried about her being "our girl." You are missing the important context. She is not being "built up" - she is being attacked and broken down.
The rumors of a porn video that were circulating were meant to try and generate leverage. She's not part of the Democrat Machine and is young. They think they can pressure and control her. That is exactly what Hillary's mind-clone is saying, here. She is telling her to fall in line with the Democrat agenda.
She's a smart girl and her shot back at the "scandalous video" is her way of trolling the democrats. She knows exactly who is trying to control her, and that is also why she voted against the new rules Pelosi put in place.
I think she is telling us how she would fund something people on the left want.
If they still want it after that, then it says far more about them than her - I would argue.
If the left is going to vote for such things and such policies are going to win, it should be through being open and honest about what it is they are voting for. She can hold a different opinion about economics and still be with us against the cabal.
The democrats never expected to be on the defense. They never expected the house gains to be so small and they were not paying attention to their strongholds. Cortez is smart and has some charisma. If I were in New York, I would probably vote for her if my only options were democrats. Hell - even among many republicans, she seems like she can at least hold an intelligent conversation.
You just have to look beyond the media soundbytes to see it.
