It’s ridiculous that it’s unconstitutional for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the biggest star in the Democratic Party, and she has been ever since she unseated Rep. Joe Crowley in a surprise primary upset in May. That her win didnt, in the final analysis, launch a wave of leftist primary victories only goes to show what a phenomenon she personally is.
Not everyone shares her brand of politics, of course, but her constituency has exploded beyond the initial set of ideologues who powered the challenge to Crowley because of her incredible wit, charisma, social media savvy, and basic political smarts.
In a year when moderate incumbents generally didnt lose primary challenges from the left and in which Our Revolution endorsees failed to flip a single GOP-held House seat, AOC constantly dominates the conversation living rent-free in the heads of conservatives, racking up magazine profiles and Twitter followers, engaging supporters on Instagram in a heretofore unprecedented way, and pulling back the curtain on some of the seamier aspects of business as usual in the US Congress.

Much more ridiculous, it is, that such a demonstrably dumb bimbo is even considered for any job whatsoever.Well, she does know how to dispense beer, mix drinks, and steal tips from waitresses. That alone should qualify her for the presidency.

The Progressives, like all wet-behind-the-ears yooths, demand instant gratification, being that their youth denies them patience and considered wisdom. Thus this demand from this source!

I’m still upset that David Hogg is too young to be president.

She’s cute and she offers people lots of free sh*t from the government. She could well win the presidency once she’s old enough.
At least we know who she is and where she came from, unlike Barry Soetoro.

Taking on the tough questions:
Just last year she solved a difficult puzzle. The box said 3-5 years, but it only took her a month.
Venezuela just did not have her caliber of leadership, or things would have turned out differently.

Hopefully they’ll sideline her into some sort of committee where she’s not seen or heard from.

Run for President? I think she should be exiled for the rest of her useless, uninformed life.

They will produce a fake birth certificate that shows her to be older. It worked for 0bama.
