She doesn't scare the hell out of the right. The right wants to make her the poster child for all Dems. Every time she pops off about something that is further left than where the Dems are, the right points to her as the hero of the left. And they paint her as crazy, inexperienced, and impractical, i.e. her job was a bartender before serving in Congress. Make no mistake, Fox News is building her up because she represents everything that makes even mainstream conservatives (let alone Trump folk) want to vote against Dems. That's why the right talks about her so much.
And her primary victory was certainly helped by the demographics in her district. Not to say she didn't run an active campaign against an incumbent who was largely absent.
Those demographics are increasingly the demographics of the Democrats. They're definitely the demographics of the people Democrats desperately need to come out and vote.
