AOC isn't electable for POTUS folks. She's too smart, too intimidating and too female. Hillary and Kamala tried to run the gauntlet and tack back to the center and both crashed and burned. Does anyone HONESTLY think that running farther to the left of any Dem candidate ever is going to work? I wish to HELL it could but we all know deep down the dreaded 'Independents' won't vote for her. I worked my ass off for Hillary and Kamala: phone calls, door knocking yard signs, etc...and the lying fuckhead laid waste to both of them. Does AOC have what it takes to connect with so many of the dumb asses that voted for him? Probably not....she's way too good for them and they know it, which is why they won't vote for her. She's everything they KNOW they'll never be in life: bright, successful, articulate and well grounded. Yeah, I know it's maddening but I believe it to be true.

My top 2: Kelly and Pritzker.
