Harry Truman threatened to veto the proposal if there wasn't a clause exempting whoever was president from term limits when the amendment became law.Knowing there weren't enough votes to override the veto, they indeed threw that clause in there.Truman tried for a third term in 1952, but with his job approval and popularity numbers under 30% and a resounding defeat in the New Hampshire primary, he decided not to run.

Unfortunately there are a growing number of Pres. Candidates who are seriously buying that snake oil.

They're not serious, they're afraid of offending her saying otherwise and losing their audience, and potential votes by those that worship her. Few have argued with her saying she's the "boss" either.

Still many candidates went and kissed Sharpton's ring with his Action Network Now meeting. Sad day when one of your party leaders is a con man.

What audience? I seriously think you guys are trying to convince yourselves that AOC is some kind of kingmaker.She isn't.Pelosi and Schumer will let her have her fun for a little while but the moment she starts getting too big for her britches and disrupting 2020 plans, they'll bury her.New York is probably going to lose a couple of Congressional seats after the 2020 census.It wouldn't be that difficult to carve up Allie's district amongst a few other districts and render her irrelevant for 2022.
Her biggest skill is getting her name in the media.She's a friggin' Einstein in that department.

last week I saw on a cable news show that AOC was going to start an internet channel/show that could constantly broadcast progressive issues. I have not seen anything to confirm this, so probably more fake news.

AOCs plan for the green new deal is actually a plan for worldwide genocide.

Well, it's totalitarian and anti-freedom, so I suppose that's a logical endgame.
