    If she loses, it could be the end of her political career. So it’s definitely a risk. At the same time, if he loses it will be as well. He better resign if he thinks it will be even close.

      If she loses, the country is cooked. We might be cooked anyway, but like, double cooked. Refried.

        Because, in the game of thrones, you win or you die.

        Seriously, though, I don’t necessarily agree. Though it’s not the norm, people DO come back after losing high profile races.

        Just look at how establishment media can’t kick their Hillary addiction, or how Kari Lake somehow remains relevant in spite of never winning anything but Arizona GOP primaries, which are basically just bigotry state fairs.

        If they can, AOC DEFINITELY can.

        It could be… I just think in politics when you lose big races, you have a stink on you that’s hard to get off. People won’t believe she can win another big race, so they’ll take her less seriously.

        It’s not guaranteed, it’s just a thing that happens in politics.
