AOC's lane is the passing lane.
She's a Ferrari
She's smart, a quick learner, has a lot of energy, photogenic and has knows how to communicate.
She could probably be a Dem-leader in the House for years from her NYC-liberal Dem base.
And be a strong voice in a strong position to push for progressive policy.
But I do wonder whether right now if she's too left for upstate NY voters to run for a Senate seat (Gillibrand in 6 years or Schumer in 8 year)
But she's smart she'll figure it out.
