13. She'd get wrecked nationally

Terrible idea that only the insulated could love.

Where I do think she'd excel and thrive is in Congressional leadership. Speaker Ocasio-Cortez? Majority leader? That feels like where she may be best suited and what is electorally reasonable and reachable.

If she ran for President, the entire Republican campaign would just be running commercials with her tweets in them. They wouldn't even have to spend that much money.

It doesn't work.

I don't think she will (perhaps ever) have the votes in the House to be elected Speaker or Minority Leader. Far too many Celerity Apr 2025 #18

It depends how she evolves and the relationships she forges Sympthsical Apr 2025 #25

I'm not saying it's an impossibility (down the road), but I have less faith (perhaps) than you that the House Dem caucus Celerity Apr 2025 #33
