The move would extend her 36-year House career and continue to freeze her would-be California successors in a long-standing holding pattern.

    Someone needs to AOC her. They have primaries, right? It shouldn’t be a given that she will be the nominee.

      She has too much name recognition and not enough unfavorables for this approach to work. She shouldn’t run and if she wins she’ll be a lucky to be as coherent as McConnell by the end, but I don’t think a primary challenge will work against her. Hope I’m wrong.

        I don’t think a lot of that name recognition is positive… As we’ve seen in the last few election cycles being a well known establishment candidate isn’t necessaroly a positive for a large block of voters.

          In another platform I am getting absolutely dogpiled by the biggest bunch of acreaming children refusing to believe that she is either old, establishment, elitist, conservative, or just plain old corrupt. Even with proof provided. They’re Blue Trumpers

        Then she should be elected.

      Could not agree more, and I’m going to start calling someone getting primary’d from the left as getting AOC’d.

      When she is primaried she does not even bother to recognize the challenge. She is the Ultimate Elitist Candidate.
