Hopefully she’ll gain experience before she fatally shoots herself in the foot. Like calling him “that dude at the diner.” Cheap shot that will once again backfire with his supporters and independents alike.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Bazinga! George II Jun 2019 #2

Snap! LongtimeAZDem Jun 2019 #26

Yup, big thanks to AOC Green Line Jun 2019 #39

Brilliant. emmaverybo Jun 2019 #62

So who IS her "pragmatic choice"? Easy to reject one of 24, much more difficult to choose one of 24. George II Jun 2019 #3

It will be Bernie Sanders kcr Jun 2019 #69

What changed in the 2018 Blue Wave, Younger voter turnout. bluewater Jun 2019 #4

20 red Congressional seats won in 2018. Arithmetic empedocles Jun 2019 #8

I tend to agree regarding younger voters. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think tRump will be enough KPN Jun 2019 #11

Oh please..sick of the excitement crap...fact is vote for a Democrat or suffer the consequences. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #43

Oh, that'll convince them. KPN Jun 2019 #45

If getting rid of Trump doesn't convince them than there is no hope...better try to find another Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #72

Biden polls very well among millennials though. From March emulatorloo Jun 2019 #79

There are a number of factors contributing to increased voter turnout in every age group in 2018.... George II Jun 2019 #16

More threats from those on 'our side'...really. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #5

Threat? Hardly. More like an observation. Perhaps not as well stated as it could have been, but KPN Jun 2019 #12

Here is the problem...candidates that you find exciting are unlikely Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #44

I'm not convinced Biden can win. He does KPN Jun 2019 #46

There is no sure bet...but I think Biden is the only one who can win a primary (Ryan might win) Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #71

She doesn't make much sense here. SouthernProgressive Jun 2019 #6

I guess she is referring to the more progressive/younger voters who might be turned off by Biden. honest.abe Jun 2019 #17

Younger voters are the age demographic that historically has the lowest % turnout. George II Jun 2019 #58

It's not a simple calculus loyalsister Jun 2019 #29

Seems the perfect candidate would just get the votes. SouthernProgressive Jun 2019 #30

There is no perfect candidate loyalsister Jun 2019 #37

"There is no perfect candidate" SouthernProgressive Jun 2019 #38

Particularly among some Black men who my future son in law (POC) says Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #47

It is interesting. Those like Rep. Cortez intentionally use emotional trigger words to get still_one Jun 2019 #7

Pretty effective when the GOP do it en masse 24/7 on any issue they are amped up on. Seems to KPN Jun 2019 #15

This among other issues is why DONT like her!! She rushes in where angels fear to go. Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #9

Isn't she the one involved in all that crap about murielm99 Jun 2019 #10

I really like AOC, but one thing I don't care for DrToast Jun 2019 #14

Agreed, she starts too much crap within the party dsp3000 Jun 2019 #33

Let AOC rail against Biden NYMinute Jun 2019 #13

This is a very dumb argument peggysue2 Jun 2019 #18

Oh...well stated!! Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #19

Indeed, Peggysue.. she totally tried to Cha Jun 2019 #64

I don't think her endorsement would benefit Joe Biden. comradebillyboy Jun 2019 #20

Pragmatic Otto Lidenbrock Jun 2019 #21

Here here! Kahuna7 Jun 2019 #23

Okay. How, without a Democratic Senate, is the pragmatic guy going to get his proposals passed? Demit Jun 2019 #59

No one will get anything through...but the GOP won't get judges and that is huge. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #75

An un-pragmatic Democrat will nominate good judges just as well as a pragmatic one. Demit Jun 2019 #77

Ah but we are talking about who can win. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #78

No, I was asking another poster a question. Demit Jun 2019 #80

I agree. Time to turn the page. jalan48 Jun 2019 #24

What an asinine comment. Wow. themaguffin Jun 2019 #25

As a former NYC bartender, she certainly knows what she is talking about... Princetonian Jun 2019 #27

She should at least acknowledge that her politics are not representative of the country as a whole. dem4decades Jun 2019 #28

This incredibly superficial statement: LongtimeAZDem Jun 2019 #31

Some people need to do a little research before making proclamations about "facts"... George II Jun 2019 #49

Yep; AOC needs to understand that being elected by 100k people in a district that would have LongtimeAZDem Jun 2019 #50

Ask Gretchen Whitmer and Sharice Davids if they care about an AOC endorsement. Tarheel_Dem Jun 2019 #35

Moderates took the house, Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #48

Bazinga! George II Jun 2019 #52
