We all knew this had to happen. From the moment New York commie, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, scored an out-of-nowhere victory over a lazy and entitled New York machine pol, she became the frontrunner for the presidency in the minds of a lot of Bernie Bros and the incels that populate leftwing media. Speaking of which, Matt Yglesias led the charge today with the idea that the Constitution really is a ridiculous document that we should ignore:

I hesitate to laugh because I’m not sure he’s wrong but it shows the extent that the left has come to see Ocasio Cortez as their candidate on horseback who will lead them to victory.

We see this attack on the Constitution every once in a while. I’m old enough to remember when some conservatives made the same argument when Arnold Schwartzenegger was first elected governor of California…this was before he rogered the nanny, had a bastard child, and revealed himself to be just another incompetent California Democrat.

2028 WATCH … OVERHEARD Thursday at a POLITICO photoshoot at Harvard:

REP.-ELECT ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ (D-N.Y.) joking about running for president. PHOTOG: “What are you, twenty…?”

AOC: “29. I just turned 29.”

PHOTOG: “Happy birthday.”

AOC: “Thank you! Thank you!”

PHOTOG: “You can’t even run for president for another six years.”

AOC: “No, not for a long time. Thank God. Although we’ve been joking that because the Equal Rights Amendment hasn’t been passed yet, the Constitution technically says he cannot run unless he’s 35. … So what we’ll do is we’ll force the Republican Party to pass the Equal Rights Amendment by threatening to run for president.”

PHOTOG: “That is awesome. All the people who say a literal interpretation of the Constitution is the only thing you should be paying attention to.”

AOC: “Exactly, all those Constitutionalists, I will keep vigilance.”

— NOTE: The Constitution does not say “he”. It says “any person.”
