She's actually very bright. Compare her questioning people v republican congresspeople. She is significantly better prepared. Fox is afraid of her thus the nonstop mockery.
However, her social media excellence makes her seem more important than she is. She is a bit too pie in the sky.
If she runs she'll get trounced.
Dems need a white male more centrist to win the "John Wayne" state like PA MI OH WI etc

By 2028 Cortez will have lost her youthful glow and will have turned into a middle-aged, short, fat, Latina with a rich history of radical leftist politics. Nobody will want to touch her, literally and figuratively.

People forget the Democrats tried to unleash AOC on Trump during his first term and he easily swatted her away, labelling her and three other progressive females as "The Squad".



All four haven't been the same since.

She isn't very bright but she speaks well without a script. That's where she differs from Harris. Putting AOC up against the likes of Vance or DeSantis in a debate would be the nail in the coffin for the Un Democrats.

If the Democrats want to win in 2028, they need to nominate a charismatic southern Democrat who can win the South and maintain the north east. Basically a centre (slightly) left candidate cut from the same wood as Bill Clinton.

And most of all, Keep away from the woke bullshit and all the kooks that come with it.

Do all that and they win.

Now who that could be, I don't have a clue. But this much I do know, it's not one of the existing fossils currently viewed as a leader in the Democratic party. Whoever this man is (that's right, I said man), if he can deliver the south, he can win.

That candidate was Al Gore and he lost to George Dubya

She's the only waitress in America that brings nothing to the table.
I disagree on the spirit but the line is hilarious! Well done!

I can understand you folks not paying attention. AOC is a smart lovely girl but she may be just a smokescreen. Unless Trump fixes things here's who he'll be running against in 2028.

He's a Progressive and I have strong doubts that he even won AZ Senate seat legitimately. There will be a DOJ investigation forthcoming. Nonetheless, I doubt he will be the nominee in 2028.

It wouldn't surprise me Kirky. Btw what Joe Scott predicted last year has become reality.

She is a left wing populist.
Which is what the democrats need to counter MAGA.
Not the neo-lib dems we see today who pay lip service.
She has 4 years.
She can drop the woke act and push a more populist message and I think she would be a good counter to JD.
Plus she will be 40 in 2028.
Whether she will win primaries is up in the air though.
She is certainly not worse than Harris.
She is well spoken.
Imagine if Republicans pit tulsi against her...

Yeah there was also this other guy - Bill Clinton. Ever hear of him?

And also Lydon Johnson.
LBJ was an old style liberal....who , domestically, did a hell of alot of good.......but the Vietnam war crushed him and his legacy............
