A former bartender who defeated a powerful incumbent (#3 Dem in the House) with no corporate donations and got elected all before the age of 30 is an example of America being its own worst enemy???? If anything, that's an example of an American dream.
There was a great article I wish I could link to now about how young conservatives may not agree with her, or even particularly like her, but they admire what she's achieved and how she's captured the national conversation.
