to the party. When she was questioning Michael Cohen in his hearings, it was HER questions that have led to some actual financial records being subpoenaed, & released by Deutsche Bank.

AOC speaks clearly, and her priorities are slowly being supported by the vast majority of dems (green new deal, for instance!).

Pete would be great. Laelth Aug 2020 #34

Tammy Baldwin is a Wisconsin Senator forthemiddle Aug 2020 #55

That would be excellent. n/t Laelth Aug 2020 #60

no correlation whatsoever... getagrip_already Aug 2020 #4

AOC should speak, I think. Laelth Aug 2020 #8

in her own mind maybe.. ;) getagrip_already Aug 2020 #12

She gets more media and Republican attention than anyone else in her class. Laelth Aug 2020 #16

not really... sorry. getagrip_already Aug 2020 #18

I suggest you watch the floor speech FoxNewsSucks Aug 2020 #64

I did it does not change my opinion on this issue. redstatebluegirl Aug 2020 #65

I think she will - as likely will John Kerry - as they were the team on climate change karynnj Aug 2020 #29

Thank you for this thoughtful response. Laelth Aug 2020 #35

Bless the older crowd but they need AOC, Beto, and other of the younger people to take the party Srkdqltr Aug 2020 #5

Pete would be great. Laelth Aug 2020 #13

AOC's demographic is already represented by Bernie & Warren. Budi Aug 2020 #14

A lot of those young people are for Bernie anyway treestar Aug 2020 #6

Yes.. Sanders & Warren are both speaking so that demo is well represented. Budi Aug 2020 #10

I'd love to hear Katie Porter. She represents many working parents, single or not, & Budi Aug 2020 #9

I totally agree with that! Katie Porter is so frikkin' awesome! BComplex Aug 2020 #25

Porter is a great suggestion. I hope we do hear from her as well. nt crickets Aug 2020 #44

I am big fan of Congressperson Katie Porter Gothmog Aug 2020 #67

I wouldn't read too much into this list ucrdem Aug 2020 #11

I think it's a whole new ball game this year & standard rules don't apply. Budi Aug 2020 #17

That is far from a complete or final list - why all the pearl clutching? getagrip_already Aug 2020 #15

Because it's what Politico does best? Budi Aug 2020 #19

Cool. Laelth Aug 2020 #20

ok, here is a rumor I heard on facebook... getagrip_already Aug 2020 #23

I hope Greta Thornberg DOES NOT appear. Laelth Aug 2020 #36

Greta knows far more than AOC on Climate so it's best not to invite this global traveller. Budi Aug 2020 #38

She might have some international cred that she can lend us. Laelth Aug 2020 #39

hey, trump invited bojo didn't he? getagrip_already Aug 2020 #63

No WONDER young voters don't vote to keep the RW from persecuting Hortensis Aug 2020 #21

I actively WANT to understand you and respond. Laelth Aug 2020 #27

Another divisive article by Holly Otterbein DenverJared Aug 2020 #30

Oh ffs! Not HA again!! Budi Aug 2020 #32

I wonder if HAHA Goodman was actually only a pen name DenverJared Aug 2020 #33

When was the last time anyone saw anything from HA Goodman? It's been a while. George II Aug 2020 #56

Yes ... HAHAHAHA Goodman disappeared DenverJared Aug 2020 #58

Very strange coincidence GeorgiaPeanut Aug 2020 #59

I remember that so-called member of the press Gothmog Aug 2020 #66

I don't know...don't want to see a repeat of 16 when those who didn't get their guy behaved badly. Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #48

I can't imagine FoxNewsSucks Aug 2020 #54

Not former candidates...just supporters of other candidates. Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #57

AOC is a first term House member...she will not speak...maybe Joe Kennedy or someone like Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #49

Some of us want to win Ohio in the electoral. But im sure AOC will speak also JI7 Aug 2020 #53

I'd rather see Deb Haaland speaking, or Sharice Davids, or Lauren Underwood, or Ayanna Pressley.... George II Aug 2020 #62

Sounds like a strong list of speakers. MineralMan Aug 2020 #43

Young people don't vote and never have...we need to reach voters who will actually go Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #47

If they feel "under appreciated" ... it's probably due to the fact that they "under-vote". NurseJackie Aug 2020 #61

Young People have never voted. There were many young candidates running in the primary JI7 Aug 2020 #50

Hopefully the Clintons aren't keynote speakers. Leave them out if this Rice4VP Aug 2020 #51
