'National voice': Young Democrats want AOC to be president
After a whirlwind month that saw her crisscross the United States in support of Sen. Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being called a 'national voice' by supporters who would like to see her become president one day.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a leader in the progressive movement, Sanders campaign adviser Jeff Weaver told Politico. She is broadly popular, frankly, among Democratic voters. She is particularly strong with young voters, voters of color. Shes an important national voice, and adding her weight to the political revolution is a real coup for us.
Calls for Ocasio-Cortez to be Sanders's vice president pick have ramped up after Sanders said the New York Democrat would play a very, very important role in his potential White House.
To hold the office of vice president, a candidate must be at least 35 years old and a natural-born citizen. Though she isn't old enough to hold the position, when asked, Ocasio-Cortez, 30, said, "It'd be an honor to be vice president.
Waleed Shahid, a former aide who has worked with both Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, suggested the New York freshman has an untapped and far-reaching base.
AOC is popular among many diverse constituencies in the Democratic base, and particularly among unlikely voters, Shahid said.

She is hanging out with Komrade Bernie as part of the Democrat Socialists. Bernie has fealty for any socialist-communist. AOC isn't smart enough for fascism, IMHO.
You beat me to it. Nice!
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), the social media star and self-identified democratic socialist, is fairly unpopular around the country.
A Quinnipiac poll released on Thursday morning found that 23 percent of Americans had a favorable view of the member of Congress, while 36 percent had an unfavorable view a -13 overall approval rating. Thirty-eight percent hadnt heard enough about her to have an informed opinion.
This new poll isnt a one-off finding. Three prior surveys one in January from Morning Consult, one in February from Fox, and a third in mid-March from Gallup all found that more Americans had negative views of AOC than had positive ones. This might surprise a lot of Democrats, who see all of her viral clips and impressive performances in congressional hearings and assume shes a popular rising star.
A Barbie doll would make a better president than Alexandria Occasional Cortex.
Young democrats are too stupid to know she is too young. Voting age for democrats should be changed to 35.
AOC will be a good one to keep track of wealth. She was broke going into house. Lets wait and see what her net worth is 5 yrs from now.
Shell run in 2024. Count on it.
fl
She’s going to make a lot of money trying, at least.
A Barbie Doll is probably what inspired AOC to run for office.
Did you mean to type ‘Know-nothing’?
Young Democrats want their student loans forgiven...ie paid by the rest of us.
Horses?
I much prefer the gas engine to cleaning horse manure from the streets. I can’t imagine what a city like New York with a population of 8 mil + would be like with horses. Maybe Occasional Vortex has a plan for cleaning horse manure.
Yeah sure ... and folks thought John Lennon was all that, too ... jus’ sayin’!
Opposite a clydesdale, so their faces look alike?
Astroturf and Twitter ‘bots are NOT a National voice.
They are complete BS.
‘National voice”
What Nation?
