Cortez epitomizes everything wrong with the Democratic Party today and luckily she will have them all follow her like lemmings over a cliff in this election cycle.
Am I close?

No, you're not close. The reason for Lionel's repudiation of the Democrat party (which he seems to have liked more than the Republican Party in the past), and his desire to destroy it as it is, goes well beyond Cortez. It's similar to why JohnR left the party, except Lionel is far more disgusted with what the Dem Party has become.

Lionel is not voting for Trump because of the man per se, but because he is the vehicle through which the Democrat Party can be eliminated and, perhaps, be forced to return to what it once was.

If you watch the whole video, you might, as you say, expand your horizon. But I sympathize that you could only take a few minutes of him. I felt the same way about Cortez.
