'You're on.' How democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and conservative firebrand Ted Cruz could become unlikely allies.

When bipartisanship strikes on Capitol Hill, the playbook traditionally pulls from moderate, centrist, veteran lawmakers keen to compromise and cut a deal.

It all started May 30 after AOC, as she's become known to her 4.4 million Twitter followers, noticed a tweet from Public Citizen promoting its analysis that nearly two-thirds of lawmakers who exited Congress after the 115th Congress took jobs lobbying or other jobs influencing federal policy. Ocasio-Cortez cautiously replied, telling Cruz"if you're serious about a clean bill, then I'm down. Let's make a deal."

Bullshit

I Would vote for Alexandria Ocasio Cortez over sycophant of the President Trump, Ted Cruz! any time!!

I have a theory that AOC is actually a white hat undercover agent working for/in part with the Q team.

Neither of them are really relevant....

Nice to see members of Congress of opposing parties working together. (People of different parties can even be friends.)

Lying ted never to be trusted

Dialectical Opposition - Jan Theuninck, 2017

woah, I did not see this coming

This is a test for both of them. The Congress has been so divided that this is essentially new territory. AOC definitely has no experience compromising. If she can do something with SenTedCruz , she will earn some respect from me.

AOC maybe you can get Ted to host even one town hall for Texans? He flat out refuses (since 2013), but he makes exclusive telephone town halls for campaign contributors.

They aren’t allies...they just found one specific issue they could agree on and they put all their other differences aside. We need more of this but the media and politicians are such instigators that they trap themselves into not being able to work with people act the aisle.

Uh oh im pretty sure she's going to be mad that you used a pic that makes her skin look lighter than it is 😂😂

I would really like her to amswer why ahe voted in favor of a raise for herself while bashing tbe wealthy. 'Its like not even a raise'just doesn't cut it.

Meanwhile, his employees are paid garbage, they don’t get to take breaks, some live in tents. I can think of better uses of his wealth. This isn’t capitalism. It’s feudalism
