Does AOC have a realistic chance to become U.S. President one day?

[T'Chenka]

Does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have a realistic shot at becoming President in her lifetime?
Let's define "reasonable" as "over 10% chance".

She's proven herself to be politically competent, she is NOT Trumpian and she is an establishment outsider that's young, relatable, sassy, and social media savvy. Her policy positions are EXTREMELY popular, especially with younger voters. As she gets older, she will be seen more as "not way too youmg to be President", and her young supporters will begin to take voting more seriously as they age. It's also likely that climate change will screw us badly, and she will look very smart for having predicted it in 2018 & 2019 as she was ridiculed by conservatives.

She is too young to run in 2020, and the Democrat president will probably run for a 2nd term in 2024. Her realistic shot at President would be 2028 or any time after, unless Trump somehow gets 4 more years. Winning in 2028 would make her the youngest President ever, as well as obviously the first woman President and first hispanic President.

So, what do you think?

[T'Chenka]

I hope not.  Her green dream or whatever is amateur hour.

Are you sure you're a Democrat?

People who support AOC shouldn’t accuse Republicans of living in a fact free world because they are supporting a politician who lives in a fact free world as well.

"Fact free".

Do you make that assessment based on complete BS Fox News assessments like the green New Deal is going to prohibit procreation and cow farting? Or just a near religious like, not to mention ahistorical, belief that Reaganomics was wonderful and the only way to grow the economy is to give rich people tax breaks?

The cost of Trump’s Tax cuts were 1.5-2 trillion , the Bush ones were around 2.5 trillion



The cost of AOC Green New Deal are significantly higher and would cost more in one year than either the Bush or trump tax cuts did in 10 : https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/miltonezrati/2019/02/19/the-green-new-deal-and-the-cost-of-virtue/amp/

Congratulations, you found a Republican hack study from a Republican hack group that blows things way out of proportion.

Published in a republican hack magazine, don't forget.

Congratulations, beep boop. You've hit the fact free trifecta!

Your first link rather proves my point, and your ladder link is a pathetic red herring attempt at whataboutism.

BTW, check out the Wikipedia page for the website you are citing. Columbia journalism review refers to it as an amateur media bias website his results are in no way scientific. Admittedly, it's somewhat difficult to be scientific about something this subjective, but you aren't exactly reaching for the stars in terms of citing credible Authority here.

Find me a source which says the Green New Deal will cost under 20 trillion In 10 years

You do realize that you have to compare $20 trillion or whatever number to the cost of all the damage climate change will do to America right? It isn't "20 trillion versus zero".

No, she is way too hot to be taken seriously. May be, when Boomers dies out and Millennials have a bigger share of the electorate.

Younger people control what is popular, relevant, trending, cultural movements. If AOC catches on as a "thing" that is popular and mainstream with young people, it wil be young people who dictate whether she is taken seriously, generally speaking - and not boomers.

Boomers could decide to not take her seriously, but they'll do so knowing that by doimg so they're going against the default cultural zeitgeist.

The fact that this question is asked following Obama's administration, Clinton's near win, and Trump's victory is an indication that she has no chance.  She doesn't even have enough support to be President in this left-wing cluttered forum.  The answer is "no"

Why would Obama's 2nd term or Hillary's 2016 presidential campaign have much to do with the next 40 years of presidential politics? Even with Trump, he hasn't been re-elected yet, so America hasn't had a chance to say "this was a mistake" or "we are re-affirming that Trump is what we like" at the ballot box just yet.

The main reason people aren't talking about AOC as a potential president right now is that the 2020 election is starting up and she isn't old enough to run for president until 2024. She would be polling higher than Biden and Harris if she was eligible.

She clearly has some skeletons that have yet to be uncovered

Do the Islanders have what it takes to get through the Penguins this year? I'm filling out my fantasy playoff pool picks tonight and some advice from a psychic would be REALLY helpful.

[T'Chenka]

She has to first prove she can appeal to upstate New Yorkers in any statewide race at home before she can even think of running for President.  

She actually doesn't though... that's not how running for president works.

You declare you are running - officially, filing paperwork and with the blessing of your party, unless you're an independant - and then you're in the race. That's what Trump did.

[T'Chenka]

She is too vulger a person, hence she has good chances to rule the country.

Are you David Pakman's bored trolling account?

LOL "too vulgar". Where do you crackerjacks come up with these gems?

With Pelosi and Trump both attacking AOC in the last few weeks - Trump's July 14 attack in particular - average Americans (and non-Americans) are all seeing her face and hearing her name now more than ever. She is being (accurately) depicted in the media as a credible threat to Pelosi and Trump and Americans are internalizing that.

In my opinion, all of this bodes quite well well for her 2024 or 2028 presidential campaign. Do you agree? Disagree? Why do you feel that way?
