Will AOC run for president.

[Sympthsical]

25. It depends how she evolves and the relationships she forges

I'm old enough to remember when Pelosi first became Speaker. She was depicted as a far, far, far, far, far Left San Franciscan liberal who was incredibly radical compared to the rest of the party. Of course, by that time, she wasn't. She'd been playing a crucial and effective role in the House by then. But that was the image of her. (There was a hilarious SNL skit with Kristen Wiig when she won Speakership at the time. "The safe word is . . . palomino!" )

I don't think AOC could become Speaker tomorrow or even the next decade. But in 15 years? She'd still be considered young and she has the profile and capability to network herself into position.
