If he runs again, he'll be 77 by then. If she can beat him and win a seat, give her a couple of years in the upper chamber then the Democratic president can offer her a high-level position in their administration.

With that experience on her resume, she can take her shot in 2032 and 2036.

She'd get wrecked nationally Sympthsical Apr 2025 #13

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

I have a weird feeling both parties break Sympthsical Apr 2025 #34
