Elizabeth Warren.

“I was a community organizer in the Bronx for Sen. Sanders during the last presidential campaign,” Ocasio-Cortez added. “That was my first experience, organizing right there in the street for an election.”

“Before that, I did community work in education, with the Latino community and with the National Hispanic Institute, but that was my first time organizing for an election. It was an experience that I will never forget,” she continued. “It was an important part of my experience when I decided to run for Congress.

A reporter asked Sanders if he could get up the courage to name AOC as his running mate. In the background, Jane O’Sanders was eyeing him warily.

Spotting Jane, he answered, “I can’t get it up.”

Working in her favor, the Constitution only requires that the individual be only a chronological age of 35. Were it otherwise, say mental age, for example...

In her head, she thinks she’s qualified.

That right there is enough to disqualify her.

LOL

There’s a huge difference between being eligible and being qualified. Ocrazio-Cortez is neither.

And that’s why she is backing him. Imagine he becomes president and in his first year he croaks. This dingbat waitress is the president

She is cunning and has an agenda! ...by endorsing the OLD bag Bernie who has heart problems and probably won’t be around too long, she’s endearing herself to his followers who are skulls full of mush!

HOW scary is this thought?

A 30 year thief of a bartender——VP to a person who is already 77 years old +++ & not yet in the Oval Office.

She would be a literal HEARTBEAT away from being President......

Just think of all the experience she would be bringing to the job. !!!!!

She can’t be the VP, she’s legally too young.

Tell her she would have to be 35 which is probably her IQ also.

If you read the second second of the excerpt, you'd notice she's at least smart enough to know that.
