graham4anything 2,859 Posted June 29, 2018 Tuesday Democratic candidate for the House Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a community leader, activist and just 28 years old won a major victory in a changing district in NYC that is 90% Democratic. Will she be the once in a generation unique person that comes around that in future years kids around the nation want to be? think JFK RFK Dr. King, President Obama, President Lincoln,for the USA and someone like Glenda Jackson in the UK or Justin and Pierre Trudeau in Canada etc. Haven't felt this way since late 2002 or early 2003 when I first heard about President and Michelle Obama. Note that because of her young age, she would not eligible to run prior to the 2024 President election as the age requirement of 35 is as of the inauguration day which would be 1/25/2021 and when SHE the Democratic nominee for President in 2020 wins, odds are that SHE will be 2 terms, so probably looking at 2028 the earliest. But remember her name. Just like I did President Obama in 2002-3 and then he made the keynote in 2004 and ran and won in 2008 and 2012. Also possible if SHE the Democratic nominee/President in 2020 picks an older person for VP, that person could be one term and then retire, enabling a different VP in 2024 as has been done a few times in the past. (most famously FDR had many different VPS in his four terms). SHE 2018 SHE 2019 SHE2020 SHE2022 SHE2024 as Leonard Cohen sang in Anthem-©Leonard Cohen Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ringForget your perfect offeringThere is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)That's how the light gets in Is Alexandria the Change that Lana is singing about https://twitter.com/ocasio2018 0 Quote Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic.
