    Who is that going to be though?

    I used to type a lot for these, but they constantly come up.

    So at this point: AOC

      That would be great, but she’s too divisive to win.

        That’s what they said about Obama too…

        But the first Black president got elected by flipping lots of red states even when his own party turned against him.

          As already pointed out she’s not eligible, or maybe is, idk. She would be 35 by inauguration.

          My ticket would be her, Bernie, and Ron Wyden somewhere in the mix so the u.s. could get some decent privacy laws.

            She literally is…

            Like, it’s not an opinion thing, she’s literally old enough to be our next president…

                Right…

                https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S1-C5-1/ALDE_00013692/

                No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

                You have to be 35 to be president…

                AOC will be 35 before the next president assumes office…

      People have been bringing her up for years, but she is still not eligible. The president must be 35.

        She was born in October.

        You have to be 35 to assume office in January, not run for election.
