I seriously thought you'd like the idea of dueling cognitive tests live on TV. Or aren't you so confident after all ...

Why would you even float that hypothetical when she's shown no interest in getting back into the public arena? She hated the slander that came with being a politician's wife.

No chance she persues a career in politics.


Well she spoke to the Democratic 'Convention' recently, and what I saw of it was a good speech. Not too forced (though a bit) and certainly not apathetic.

Also consider that the kids must be nearly old enough to move out by now. She may welcome public life more as a result.

Jesus. All the original Pixar and Dreamworks movies we grew up with are old as shit, like the president and his opponent are.

Don’t worry, she’ll likely go the Beto O’Rourke way. You don’t go straight from House to Presidency because the media loves you, and he learned it the hard way. If AOC was smart she would climb up the ladder gradually until she’s experienced enough to not get absolutely crucified in the primaries

I like this image of a right winger trying to say something controversial, getting ignored, and other right wingers huddling around with reassurances, "You're cancelled for sure, bud, you really triggered them". Warms the heart to see you all looking after one another in these trying times.

You thought he'd be. The only people this upset are people who had unrealistic expectations of what any president can be. Welcome to realistic expectations. Once you get use to them it becomes way less dramatic.
