1. The deals he could make with them would be better for the country

Than the deals with Gosar and friends.

2. And he'd be beholden to the Democrats...

7. Exactly!

3. He's a lying POS and not to be trusted.

He’d promise the Dems the moon and then screw them because he could. We wouldn’t be able to do a damn thing except cry. They have showed us who they are. We need to believe them.

4. With Pelosi advising, I am confident that any deals

Made would be airtight.

I love seeing the Dems using their power strategically. AOC lays out the solution very clearly and it’s obvious that a lot of planning has been going on.

5. I definitely trust her to steer a straight course through this mess. nt

6. Agree nt

8. Very much agree.

The only hitch would be if the Repughs swing to Jordan. They probably won't, but that's not an alternative i want to see.

9. This is really solid analysis by AOC

10. She is very articulate

Grateful for her presence in the House
