The entertainment value would be, like, off the charts.

I think she’s more likely to be a one-term wonder. Some sane Democrat will challenge her in the 2020 primary and Ms. OC will be back waiting tables in New York City and skimming the tips.

She’s so far out of her league and she’s panicking.

I hate to be Debbie Downer, but don’t you have to be smart for that job?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to eat that popcorn while watching “Third Party Democratic Socialists file suit to block Democrats. Part of strategy to get on more state ballots by deadlines.”

Why not? The old, decaying, stinking Dem Party versus the moronic egocentric ignorant but over-confident Dem.Socialist youngsters. And Oprah, Booker, Maxine and the entire black caucus splits to join the new Black Freedom Party. No white supremacists allowed.

Hours of family fun.

I bet she’s a real piece of work on five shots of espresso.

The fault here lies far more with communist journalist Amy Goodman asking an incoming freshman representative about becoming speaker than it does this wingnut Ocasio-Cortez.

Since Speaker of the House is 2nd in line for succession to Presidency, she would have to be 35 years old. So yeah, make her Speaker so Pelosi is out of the picture.

One small amusement. As you know every 2 years whilst the GOP was in change some numbskull always latched on the (gosh) (darn) ridiculous, (fornicating) stupid and constitutionally incorrect idea that the Speaker doesn’t need to be a current member of the House of Representatives (which is implicit because DUH!)

Well now it’s the dems turn for that nonsense.

Suggestions made by idiots on twitter include outgoing member Beta 0’Rourke because every democrat seems to be gay for Beta.

But the big one......HILLARY!!!!! Because then they could make her acting President somehow.

I have a suggest for them, since the Constitution doesn’t outright state that the Speaker needs to be alive, how about Tupac as the first Black, Dead Speaker? I mean Black and Deads are the two most loyal dem voting blocks, don’t they deserve a reward?

Or you know since the Constitution doesn’t outright State the Speaker needs to be a alive and a human being, how about Harambe the gorilla?

Or since it doesn’t say it has to be real person, how about the “South Carolina, what’s up” guy from the following video?

There hasn’t been a Speaker from South Carolina since before the Civil War.
