I think she's smart enough to see that the influence for the small group of far left House members who are aligned with Bernie's will gradually see that influence wane given Bernie's pitiful showing in the primaries. AOC, Ilhan and Tlaib haven't had the most impressive or productive first terms compared to some of their more moderate freshman colleagues. Running around threatening to primary incumbent Dems will get old real fast with a Dem POTUS.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
