Both Shapiro and AOC overrated , but the 2028 Democrat primary aligns for communists more than ever. Gov. Gruesome wearing blackface is the likely response, as AOC has never polled well with AA females.

It’s not the candidates themselves, it’s their campaigns and media that do all the hypnotizing, and voters with their minds in the gutter who fall under the spell of such radicals.

It’s a question of underestimating how gullible our fellow voters are.

Precisely. Look around the next time you are out amongst the general population. Do you get a sense of confidence in the competence of that milling mob?

AOC now has fuel for the primaries - she goes in and shows “look, a leftist like ZM is the person who wins, so make me the candidate”.

It doesn’t matter that NYC is not indicative of the rest of the country.

It doesn’t matter that if one goes to extreme positions, it can help you in the primaries (as only the dedicated R or D vote), but unless you move more center-wards, you won’t get the fence sitters.

So AOC may win the primaries.

We just lost three elections...

Yes, but note that M turns off many D voters.

All the people who prior to 2016 only voted D and then shifted to R, will now be FIRMLY in the R camp

People who still vote D, but don't support these ideas will move to R

The fence sitters will now wait and see how much M destroys NYC

Virginia had a Republican state executive branch…Governor et al. all flipped.

That reversal began when the useless fool in the governor's mansion here was listening to the "Youngkin is a 2024 dark horse" whispers instead of fighting hard to keep the legislature Republican in the 2023 midterms. Once he lost them, he then decided his top priority should be building a $2 billion sports complex in northern Virginia that no one but his RINO consultants and lobbyists wanted.

After that idea went down in flames, Youngkin figured the best way he could spend the remainder of his time in Richmond was to do absolutely nothing to help his Lt. Governor in her race to succeed him. Not that the RNC did anything either, but as I posted last night, they've been off the clock since President Trump's victory speech and need a complete housecleaning. Youngkin is here and could have done something including resigning and getting an ambassadorship to East Jabip which would have allowed Winsome-Sears take over and show what she could do, good or bad. But nope, he's just playing Candy Crush and waiting for noon on January 17 when he can fade into more obscurity.

She’ll go for Schumer’s Senate seat first then run for president later.

Do not underestimate AOC.

Why would anyone underestimate AOC? There is so much footage and baggage showing her to be an ignorant and vacuous empty suit, that anyone with an ounce of sense would laugh at the proposition that she's president material.

On second thought, who could have imagined a jihadist communist becoming mayor of NYC?

We have a problem with too many of the electorate lacking sense , i.e., lacking critical thought.

I hope the democrats nominate AOC for President in 2028.(They won’t) They’ve had so much success with their female nominees.

Kamala Harris did not do well in 2024.

AOC is just like Harris except she's 25 years younger. And she has some charisma. But she's no Obama or Bill Clinton.

There's about 170 million adult women in the USA. 40% or 68 million have a college degree.

Out of ALLLLLL of those women, tens of millions, THIS is the best they can get for political office? A position where they make decisions that affect millions of lives? Two terror supporters, a communist, and two blatant racists? Are they freakin' kidding me??
