In the NY Post this morning, there is an article reporting on the musings of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez regarding a possible run for President of the United States. Cortez is a self-proclaimed "democratic socialist" but that's about the end of anything coherent from her. She upset a long time Democrat in the primary in her NY district last summer and was inevitably elected to the House last week. It wasn't exactly a striking win. The district she will represent is less than 15% white, and the guy she knocked off in the primary was an old white guy. The district is also about half Hispanic, just like Cortez. My guess is that most of the primary voters didn't have a clue that she is a socialist; they just knew that Ocasio-Cortez has a Hispanic name. As for the general election, there are almost no Republicans in her district; a victory by the Democrat is inevitable. So Alexandria won on her ethnicity and is already talking about running for president. Meanwhile, during the campaign she wouldn't answer questions a policy and made a fool of herself on multiple occasions (for her are they "ocasio-ns") by showing her complete lack of knowledge.
It's a sad commentary on the country that Alexandria's silly musings are made into news. Remember, she's only 28, so she couldn't run for president until at least 2028 according to the Constitution (which requires the President be 35). I doubt Alexandria knows of that age requirement, but even so her comments are silly at best.
Let Alexandria take her seat in Congress. Then, let's stop covering this fool.
