A veteran of campaigns for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is urging far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) to run for President in 2024, citing her as the Democrat Party’s best hope of beating Donald Trump.
In a column published in The Hill earlier this month, political strategist Michael Starr Hopkins can barely keep up with the drool coming out of his mouth to type as he presents Ocasio-Cortez as the future of the resistance party.
Hopkins suggests AOC has had a “meteoric rise,” is following a path “eerily similar” to that of Obama, and is a “smart, photogenic” force to be reckoned with.
The congresswoman, Hopkins writes, “is less of a personality and more of a movement” and “also the future of the Democratic Party.”
She “could out-Trump Trump like no other politician has been able to,” he explains.

Hopkins surely believes the tripe he is typing but his own words betray the sincerity. There isn’t a serious argument to be found in the entire column, but rather false equivalent arguments that AOC in 2024 would be a replica of Obama’s run in 2008.
