As predicted, AOC is clearly running for president

Here at American Thinker, we predicted that AOC is a real possibility as the 2028 Democrat party presidential candidate. Yesterday, AOC made it plain that she thinks so, too.

AOC’s appeal to the left is obvious: She’s female, glib, telegenic, well-recognized, vaguely Hispanic, antisemitic, and a truly leftist ideologue. Bernie Sanders rightly sees her as the bridge between his old-fashioned class warfare and the new multi-culti warfare, both vehicles for the Marxist overthrow of the West. That’s why the two of them have been appearing in venues across America to rally the true believers.

The fact that AOC’s sole life experience before politics has been as a bartender/waitress is irrelevant (although it exceeds Bernie’s pre-political life experience). That this might not prepare her for managing the vast enterprise that is the United States government, dealing with foreign leaders, or having any wisdom at all fades into insignificance compared to her leftist virtues.

That’s the only possible spin to put on this video, which shows that AOC also thinks that her leftist virtues mean that she’s got to seize the moment.

‘Total bull****!’ Watch interviewer come completely unglued when potential 2028 Dem candidate brushes aside trans issues

Podcast host Jennifer Welch became enraged during a Tuesday episode of her show when former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel downplayed the importance of transgender issues.

Emanuel, who is seriously considering a bid for president in 2028, appeared on “I’ve Had It” and criticized the Democratic Party for focusing on “bathroom” issues at the expense of “kitchen table” and “family room” issues. Welch  vehemently disagreed and became agitated, accusing Emanuel of adopting a “right-wing media narrative.”

“That is such bull****! That is total bull****! That is buying into the right-wing media narrative and I’m so sick of Democrats like you selling out and saying this. You know who talks about trans people more than anybody? MAGA,” Welch said. “MAGA is the most genital-obsessed political party I have ever seen. [Former Vice President] Kamala Harris talked about homeownership. She talked about kitchen table issues. Trump’s over there droning on about Hannibal Lecter. Are you kidding me?”

“This is where the Democrats lose, because we’re playing the game with the rulebook — they’ve ripped the rulebook up and are cramming it down everybody’s throat. And Democrats are upset because [former President] Joe Biden pardoned his son?” she continued. “We gotta f***ing fight! They’re the gender-obsessed weirdos, not us. We’re the ones who fight for Social Security. We fight for Medicare. And yeah, we’re not going to bully trans people. We’re not going to f***ing do it. If you want to do it, fine.”

Emanuel touted his record as former Chicago mayor, saying in 2016 he “dealt with the bathroom issue.”

“It’s not my most important issue,” he said. “It was dealt with, and I appropriately dealt with [it], dealt with marriage equality, as I said.”

Welch repeated all she cares about regarding transgender issues is not bullying people who are transgender. Emanuel expressed his agreement.

The Hillary Clinton Political Comeback Begins TODAY!

It was the perfect opening. Politically, it was the equivalent of grilling a big, fat, juicy steak in the middle of the African savannah — and then being mystified by the sudden appearance of drooling predators.

C’mon, folks — use your heads! With a power vacuum that big and that tempting, it was only a matter of time.

The Democratic Party is in total disarray. Nobody’s in charge! The Obama-Biden cabal has left the building, Pelosi has health issues, and Schumer is struggling to stave off a rebellion. It’s complete and utter chaos.

Enter the Donkey version of Loki, the deeply duplicitous trickster-villain from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Don’t worry, Democrats! Hillary Clinton is here to save the day!

In a blistering op-ed in today’s New York Times, Hillary Clinton officially launched her political comeback. The Clinton Express is back for one final mission.

And don’t be naïve. She’s eyeing the 2028 Democratic Party nomination.

It’s a comeback nearly a decade in the making. Ever since losing the 2016 election, the Clintons have been exiled to the political wilderness — just another relic from a long-forgotten era. Indeed, in an age of #MeToo and ideological purity, the Clintons were always a bad fit.

They were like the creepy old guy in the nightclub. Everyone else is 30 years younger, whereas the Clintons were still rocking bellbottom jeans and sideburns…
