MIT named an asteroid after her when she was in high schooooolll.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been a congresswoman for two months. Prior to that she was a star. In two months she has made a dance video that has 21,000,000 views, has higher name and face recognition than any other first term member of Congress ever, higher id than just about any other member of Congress no matter their tenure, has gotten Fox News to change its name officially to the AOC Channel, has made it onto a right wing Coast Guard political mass murderer's official hit list, and this past weekend received the star treatment from CPAC which officially named her Public Enemy Number One.
So, don't put anything past this chick.
However. However, the House of Representatives is a black hole, it is where political stars go to die. Maybe if Fox continues to do its part she can keep from getting swallowed up but she needs a bigger neighborhood. She needs the U.S. Senate. Kirsten Gillibrand, who nobody knows who that is, is running for president as the junior senator from New York state. Kirsten was just re-elected to the Senate in 2018, does not have to give up her Senate seat whilst running for POTUS and in the unlikely event that she does not get elected POTUS will not be up for reelection to the Senate until 2024.
We can't wait that long.
Chuck Schumer is the senior senator from New York. Chuckles--good guy Chuckles--Chuckles has been in the Senate for twenty years, is 69 years old, older even than me, and is up for reelection in 2022 when he will be 72 years old. That's perfect. We'll just keep showing dance videos till then, Chuckles will step aside or get stepped on and over and Comet Cortez will take over, serve one term and then run for president in 2028. It is written in the stars. Memo to all.
