Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
@AOC
US House candidate, NY-14
Lets make a deal, Mr. President:
You release your college transcript, Ill release mine, and well see who was the better student.
Loser has to fund the Post Office.

Trump on AOC: "AOC was a poor student ... this is not even a smart person, other than she's got a good line of stuff. I mean, she goes out and she yaps."

(17,229 posts)MUST realize that AOC is the voice of our future!
She may not "know the rules" - she may at times pizz off some of the current "leadership" - but she's representing the TRUE party ideals and we need to work with her AND she needs the encouragement, support, and leadership to allow her to work with the TRUE Democratic Party!
Besides, she REALLY pi$$es of the Republicans!

(42,862 posts)She lacks the experience needed. Joe Biden chose someone who DOES have experience and would be ready to take on the responsibilities of POTUS right away if needed. Biden needs someone who shares his political philosophy, who shares his vision, someone who respects him, and someone and who has a temperament that matches his own. Biden knew what he was doing.
Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!
They're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Biden Bandwagon & abandon the revolution!!

Bernardo de La Paz
(50,475 posts)The Party will remain diverse and capable of advancing America forward in many progressive ways, not limited to her ways. AOC will help lots but will not be the only one. I doubt she will lead it for multiple reasons, but the long run is long and it would be far from the worst thing if she did end up leading it.
MyOwnPeace
(17,229 posts)Not "THE" voice, but currently a strong one at the moment, if for no other reason the fact that she stirs up so much animosity from the RepubliCons that continually show that they are afraid of strong, opinionated women.
And yes, it is difficult to predict who will be future leaders. Remember that "kid" that had his moment to speak at the 2004 Democratic Convention - some young Congressman from Illinois?
We never know - but we need to support and develop those with potential, conviction, integrity, and strong beliefs in the Democratic Party.

(2,479 posts)No one will be able to say, in what I always imagined to be a valley-girl/boy accent, "She's not even a Democrat." She's got the label, the almightly label.
I hope she's the future of the party and I hope she sticks to her guns. I hope she never sells out. But more than anything, I hope she runs in 2024.
She has the gender, she's Hispanic, and she's a woman. That checks several "Identity" boxes. More than that, there is something very special about her--I can see her as president.

(2,657 posts)Here is the reality: Ocasio-Cortez truly graduated cum laude from Boston University in 2011. In an article about distinguished alumni, the university wrote that Ocasio-Cortez graduated from Boston University in 2011 with a BA in International Relations and Economics.
So, what does "cum laude" mean?
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cum-laude.asp
Some universities bestow Latin honors at certain GPA levels. Typically, a GPA of 3.5 or higher is required to receive the cum laude designation, with higher GPAs required for magna cum laude and summa cum laude. The designation is based only an individual student's final GPA.
This means that the odds are that AOC has at least a 3.5 grade point average--which probably blows away Donald "I paid someone to take my SAT" Trump.
AZ8theist
(6,296 posts)It's OBVIOUS she's highly intelligent. Whereas Doturd speaks and reads at a 4th grade level.
Don't waste time on college transcripts. Compare grammar school or kindergarten records. He'll have half a chance then....

(7,530 posts)He uses the word "economy" when he is referring to the stock market. Yes, he has done some things to juice the stock market but the actual economy is in shambles.
Grokenstein
(5,800 posts)Got so very tired of middle-to-lower-class people whose lives were being systematically destroyed by the Trump Mob praising Cheeto Mussolini with "but Wall Street's boomin', though!" Wall Street considers each of you an entree, you burr-heads. You tell yourselves you're going to join the club once you win big on Scratchers, but that's not going to happen.

Richard58
(241 posts)He always talks about how people he doesn't like are "dumb", "stupid" or "ugly". It's just projection. In his tiny mind, everyone is a "loser" but him. The reason he doesn't release his college transcripts is because he was obviously a "D" student. Does anything think for one minute if that narcissist was a genius as he claims and had a high score that he wouldn't be showing it to everyone around and bragging about it? I find it irritating that he just blatantly said that AOC was a "poor student" when he doesn't know shit about her. But he does that stuff all the time. But he certainly picked the wrong woman to mess with!
