Might be...but I think it won't take that much. I think she's done . AncientGeezer Jul 2019 #81

Based off what? She has a MASSIVE national and local presence, she will be able to crush anyone Celerity Jul 2019 #82

And that matters very little if AOC is one term because there will be more. aikoaiko Jul 2019 #83
