You go right ahead, AOC.

Don't forget that he also raised Defense spending at the same time. And all our biggest threats live right here.

...she should be at least the deputy whip. She can move things along, solidify the party vote, and it's her first big leg up!
She takes a higher profile with legislation that goes somewhere. Good for her, good for the future.

I think she's a force to be reckoned with - for decades to come.

With talent like her, I'm always wondering things like - where could we deploy her, that'd she'd have the biggest impact? And do the most good?

Just one of the silly little political brain-teaser games I play with myself - like "who I'd have in a 'calimary Cabinet'," and "if I ran MSNBC".

That's why I tossed out deputy whip.
The deputy whip of the party in control is a big deal gig.
And, it pushes her well up the line for other leadership spots in the future.
And, it even further raises her national profile. Gets rid of some of "kid" criticism. Not a kid; just young with clout.
