1. I'm with you...

...

[Cetacea]

2. +10000

And I agree with Moore that she could beat Trump. Now

[Apollyonus]

3. lulz nt

[Dr Hobbitstein]

4. Same. She's a powerful force. nt

[Recursion]

5. Her national approval ratings are worse than Trump's

So that 6 years may stretch out a while. Same reason Meadows is never going to run: you keep your bomb-throwers in safe House seats, nudging the Overton window in our direction.

[Quixote1818]

7. That's because only 33% of Dems know who she is

More Republicans know her because Fox constantly bashes her.

[Recursion]

8. Yes, this is an accurate description of how national coalitions are and aren't built

Politics is not fair

[Horizens]

9. How Easily People are Starstruck

All Hat, No Cattle ... but a lot of press.

Inexplicable gaffes when interviewed, was the only Democrat to vote against ending the shutdown (and gavea reason that defies logic). And don't get me started on Just Us Democrats.

[Quixote1818]

10. Well, Stephanie Miller who has been critical jumped on board this AM so Cortez seems to be winning

over even the more moderate Dems now.

[Horizens]

13. Well, that's just silly

I mean, really, you're joking ... being funny ... sarcastic. Please don't tell me you're being serious.

[BannonsLiver]

6. I doubt she will ever be president.

[Awsi Dooger]

12. Huge odds against it

That would be true of any one person

And even longer odds at age 35 or thereabouts

It is true that Republicans despise her. On sports message boards the right wingers rant against CNN and Ocasio-Cortez. It must be Fox News pushing the fear. I doubt those guys have even heard of many of the Democrats who have already announced plans to run in 2020.

11. She is really smart. She cut to the chase earlier today. nt

14. AOC would be eligible to run for President in 2024 IINM

[Fresh_Start]

15. Maybe we should have an AOC group on DU

I also wouldn't mind a Kamala and a Pelosi group.
