    we shouldn’t try with a good one?

    What makes AOC a good candidate? Because you like the things she says? Lot of people liked what Bernie said. Still lost.

    There’s a little more to winning a presidential election than saying things a significant number of people like.

    1. She is a woman.

    2. She is not white.

    3. She is younger than any president, ever.

    4. She doesn’t have a particularly impressive political resume yet, which still matters to liberal voters.

    5. She is FAR left, which scares a lot of moderates.

    These are all things that DON’T make her a good candidate in the United States of America.

      Here we go with the MAGA disparagement of any women who shows political potential. Start tearing them down early, so when the time comes that they run for president, you can fall back on calling all those old lies her “reputation.” 30 years of defamation paid off with Hillary, so now it’s Standard Operating Procedure.

      Why it won’t work on AOC:

      • She is super intelligent, and we need a lot more of that at the top.

      • She has been incredibly effective in Congress, not just for her constituents, but for the nation.

      • She is fearless, something we need after so much cowardice from both Democrats and MAGAs.

      • She will stand up to MAGA, and punish them.

      • She is incorruptible.

      -Her constituents love her, and will support her all the way, and she has plenty of national support as well. She’s one of the most popular members of Congress.

      AOC questions Michael Cohen

      This was her first appearance before Congress, questioning Michael Cohen just before he went to prison for being Trump’s Fixer. He wanted to tell his story, but was visibly frustrated at the posturing and bloviating by the panel.

      Then AOC was called, and she warned Cohen that she’d be moving fast. She started firing questions, and he answered them, naming names. By the time her five minutes was over, she had all the information necessary for Leticia James to files charges that led to Trump being found guilty of 34 felonies.

      Nobody else has been able to make anything stick, but in her debut appearance in front of Congress, AOC hit Trump harder than anyone ever has. It is a HUGE mistake to underestimate her.

      Thats who I want for president.
