Ocasio 2024?



When John Kennedy got elected president, he had been so junior in the US Senate, he had never once been to the White House. He had not been chairing committees, things like that. And it was not for lack of want.

Hakeem Jeffries climbing up the ranks in the House perhaps is a sign he will not be president.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or Alex from the Bronx, the Jennifer Lopez of progressive politics, might want to go that route of not climbing the ladders in the House, and instead seeking speaking assignments across the country, and building a national following. Starting from right now.

And if a Democrat wins in 2020, heck, there is always 2028.

Someone wanting a Green New Deal needs to get into the White House.

The thing about the Green New Deal is it does not come at the expense of economic growth. It could give America unprecedented prosperity.

Why Green New Deal? Why not simply Green Deal?

Obama was also the Junior Senator from Illinois when he got elected. It might actually make more sense to go from the House to the White House. It is the H word.
