Oh my God, the new bimbo of the democratic party in a debate with Ben Shapiro? That would be no contest; talk about total annihilation! It would be like watching a fight between Mike Tyson and David Hogg (although that would be fun to watch).
Anyway, seriously, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be over-matched by just about anyone at this point. Lack of experience aside, the mere fact that, like Bernie Sanders, she believes that somehow we will have free health care, free college tuition and a $15 minimum wage for all in this country is quite a delusion and automatically puts her at a disadvantage in any debate.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shot back at a conservative commentator on Twitter Thursday, comparing his invitation to debate him with a solicitation from a catcaller on the street.
“I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions,” Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic candidate for Congress in New York’s 14th District, wrote. “And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez✔ @Ocasio2018Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions.And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.
Her comments came after Ben Shapiro, a conservative commentator, challenged Ocasio-Cortez to a debate and offered her campaign $10,000 if she participated. Shapiro, called a “provocative gladiator” by The New York Times, has embraced deeply conservative views and built his image as a millennial firebrand.
“Miss Ocasio-Cortez, I’m really excited that you’ve been elevated to that position and I would love to have a real conversation with you about the issues,” Shapiro said in a video invitation on Twitter. “You’ve noted that you think Republicans are afraid to debate you or talk to you or discuss the issues with you. Not only am I eager to discuss the issues with you, I’m willing to offer $10,000 to your campaign today for you to come on our Sunday special.”
Shapiro fired back at Ocasio-Cortez following her tweet on Thursday, saying “slandering someone as a sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does demonstrate cowardice and bad intent.”
“I’m sure your media sycophants will eat it up,” he concluded.
Ben Shapiro✔ @benshapiroDiscussion and debate are not “bad intentions.” Slandering someone as a sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does demonstrate cowardice and bad intent, however.
Ocasio-Cortez, 28, won a stunning victory over 10-term incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley in the Democratic primary in June. She’s campaigned on several major progressive promises, including “Medicare for all” and the abolishment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
