POLITICO Playbook: Ocasio-Cortez for 2028?
The Politico ^ | December 8, 2018 | Anna Palmer, Jake Sherman, and Daniel Lippman

Posted on 12/08/2018 2:30:24 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

2028 WATCH … OVERHEARD Thursday at a POLITICO photoshoot at Harvard: REP.-ELECT ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ (D-N.Y.) joking about running for president. PHOTOG: “What are you, twenty...?” AOC: “29. I just turned 29.” PHOTOG: “Happy birthday.” AOC: “Thank you! Thank you!” PHOTOG: “You can’t even run for president for another six years.”

AOC: “No, not for a long time. Thank God. Although we’ve been joking that because the Equal Rights Amendment hasn’t been passed yet, the Constitution technically says he cannot run unless he’s 35. … So what we’ll do is we’ll force the Republican Party to pass the Equal Rights Amendment by threatening to run for president.”

PHOTOG: “That is awesome. All the people who say a literal interpretation of the Constitution is the only thing you should be paying attention to.” AOC: “Exactly, all those Constitutionalists, I will keep vigilance.”

-- NOTE: The Constitution does not say “he”. It says “any person.”

NEW … SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS will sit down with ELIANA JOHNSON at the SIXTH ANNUAL WOMEN RULE SUMMIT Tuesday afternoon at the Four Seasons. The event is packed with the most powerful women in Washington.

JOINING US WILL BE: Newly elected women like Democrats Abigail Spanberger of Virginia and Deb Haaland of New Mexico and Republican Carol Miller of West Virginia. New York GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik, who is planning a major effort to elect women to Congress, and outgoing Utah GOP Rep. Mia Love will be discussing the future of women in the Republican Party. And, Sens. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) will sit together for a conversation....

As what? Surely not President of the USA. Maybe there will be an opening in Argentina or Venezuela.

Idiocracy

Private Joe Bauers, the definition of "average American", is selected by the Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program. Forgotten, he awakes five centuries in the future. He discovers a society so incredibly dumbed down that he's easily the most intelligent person alive.

We’ll be in a civil war again by the time these Stalinists are in complete control.

Anytime she opens her mouth the opportunities for ridicule just pour forth. Honest to goodness, reading her right now reminded me of Dirk Diggler:

What can you expect when you’re on top? You know? It’s like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it’s history repeating itself all over again.

2028 *might* be realistic for her to get her bartending degree (if she can find an easy enough correspondence school); anything else, forget it.

Anyone who doesn’t see her as a communist is blind, deaf and dumb. She hates the constitution, and she seeks to dismantle the system that has made the united states what it is. She sees a Venezuelan or Cuban type of government for the united states

If Ocasio-Cortez runs for president in 2028, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, and Iran will all be pulling for her, and will do everything to get her elected.

WOW - a magician also. Since the ERA has never been ratified by the states since it was introduced in 1923 and then cleared both House and Senate in the ‘70’s and has been through deadlines and back again, she’s going to perform a miracle and get this done? Maybe she doesn’t realize the states have input on amendments to the U. S. Constitution...If I were her, I wouldn’t tackle anything more difficult than finding my way to the grocery store.

For days we were subjected to her language of “we” and now it’s “he”...
