She has zero chance of winning a general election. She's getting the Hilary treatment from Republicans. That is - they're vilifying her right now to poison people against her before she can run.

The only reason Trump became President is because the Democrats ran an unelectable candidate against him. They spent over 20 years making Hilary the villain, and it allowed them to install the worst President in US history.

And they're prepping for AOC to be the next Clinton.

Bernie Sanders lost the primary by 3 million votes.

No one did anything to Sanders except vote for his opponent.

I will never forgive the DNC

Clinton was also preceded by her husband whose record could be attached to her. Until AOC serves in an administration or something it will be hard to complete the process
