    AOC is still a hair to young to be eligible, but I would gladly take Jay Inslee, Gavin Newsom, or Beto O’Rourke. Hell, at this point I’d settle for Florida Man Jeb Bush if that’s what it takes to get swing voters on board.

    (People like to shit in Beto, but he almost won Texas, which is more than any recent Democratic presidential nominee can say.)

      She’ll be 35 on Election Day, no? And well before she would be sworn in? Plenty of reasons to say she shouldn’t run, but that one seems demonstrably false.

        I was just looking at her current age. Anyway, she’s not a candidate with a broad appeal. A lot of more mainstream Democrats like my dad hate her.
