COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa — As she took the stage here on Friday night, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., noted it was her “first time” in the key presidential primary state. But many of the thousands of people who came to see her campaign for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Democratic presidential candidate, were confident it wouldn’t be her last visit.

“You’re going to be the first female president,” one woman told Ocasio-Cortez as she met with audience members on a rope line after the event.

“I’m hope I’m not the first,” Ocasio-Cortez said, adding that she’d like a woman president “sooner” than that.

The true communist leaders of the Democrat/Socialist party will throw her away once they’ve seized control of the US government.

That she should be President, should be music to our ears. She’s so effin’ dumb that eventually it’ll close in around her. But as long as she’s where she is, doing what she’s doing, she’s going to get bolder and bolder. Eventually the Dem Machine will take her out.

But I think it’s awesome that she’s giving Sanders just enough air to stay afloat. Let him stay in the race and run 3rd party and suck the life out of the Dem base. It’ll be awesome.

I don’t think AOC could be elected dog catcher in the next election.

Supporting an open socialist demonstrates a total lack of education.....while claiming to be “enlightened”

Just curious...did the woman ask the question in English, or Spanish? 🌮

Again, Iowa has the dumbest electorate in the union! The Cortez broad just had a video where she drove down sparsely inhabited country roads, using middle America to mock the electoral college.

Please, AOC. Throw your hat into the ring.

The Dems would make you their nominee in a heartbeat. Who cares about the rules?

Trump would win in a landslide, and we could put Socialism to rest, once and for all.

I can understand the Left being enthralled with this socialist looney toon, AO-C.

But what I have never understood is how Iowa became socialist state in the heart of the nation.

Anybody know why Iowa is so liberal?

We need to put together an alternative Democrat party (maybe call it the American Party) to compete for the same voters the Democrats do, but without the radicalism. This would isolate the radicals into their own crazy group - and they would be very unlikely to ever win much of anything ever again.

I imagine she knows a bouncer from the club who she can talk into being her VP.
