I really thought I'd live long enough to see a woman president; we came so close twice. Now I just can't see taking the risk of losing the next presidential election.

As for Ocasio-Cortez, I think maybe she should run for the senate. I don't think she has the experience yet for the presidency and she probably would do more good in the senate. Not every bright star needs to become president to make a difference.

Maybe my grandchildren will see a woman president.
