AOC for prez talk begins again

Nothing can be said for certain, except death, taxes — and now, speculation about AOC running for president.

The latest round comes courtesy of a Black Friday story in The Hill about contenders for the Democratic nomination in 2028. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was thrown in as the 11th and last name, a fun little kicker.

“She’s somebody who can cut through the noise and doesn’t talk like Washington,” an anonymous Democratic strategist told The Hill.

AOC for president hype started three weeks after she first took office in 2019 when Axios found three-quarters of Dems would consider voting for her for president — even though she was legally too young.

“AOC Becomes First Woman Encouraged to Turn 35,” a punk rock takeoff of The Onion, The Hard Times, wrote months later.

PLEASE RUN AOC! I’ll personally start a GoFundMe for you just to watch you get beat worse than Harris!!! /OK, not really — but like this idea.

[Mr. K]

Oh no!

Please not that!!

You can do anything, Just don’t Run AOC Against us!!!

We would sure be scared!!

No women will win...too many black and Hispanic (and white) men will never go for it.Well, mayors of many big cities are black women, so black men must be on board there. And the President of Mexico now is a woman so I'd wager some mexican men at least aren't opposed to the idea. Asians might be interesting, I can't think of any Asian female leaders off the top of my head.

“I know a bit early for 2028 speculation”

Just make it stop

[PGR88]

America is reaching “peak Karen.”

[Vaduz]

She’s as goofy as Harris is and another democrat puppet for a damage agenda.

[Maine Mariner]

I would volunteer to help her win the Demorat nomination in 2028.

[Vendome]

Don’t.

You’ll make an ass out of yourself.

Oh

Wait...

AOC

Does the Constitution allow equine presidential candidates ?

[econjack]

She’s somebody who...doesn’t talk like Washington...

Really? Like Kennedy said: "I scratched the surface, looked, and just saw more surface." She doesn't understand economics at all, even though that's supposed to be her major. I hope they do run her. You thought Harris got her ass handed to her, try trotting out AOC and see what happens.

Do it! Never interrupt your enemy...

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Can she spell it. First question.

Answer...i.t.

As Andrew Willow says: AOC has the body of a lingerie model and the brains to match.

It would be good not to run an old white corrupt fossil to appeal to the younger voters, but really they would be hard pressed to find someone less intelligent than her. Although watching her at a debate would probably be entertaining unless they turn it into a wet T-shirt contest. Imagine ol corrupt Bernie still running and in a wet T-shirt; Droopy moobs and all as he chases his fifth mansion...

[Gay State Conservative]

I know where you got that! Ted Kennedy!

April Fools is 4 months away. Good grief, can they get more stupid?

[BitWielder1]

Libs have a habit of choosing the most outrageous leftist and most incompetent and blatantly unqualified candidates.
AOC is the perfect choice.

[knarf]

[Singermom]

I thought she wanted to be a god.
