Oh, when was she elevated to vice-presidential candidate status by her party? ; )

No, not that - you must be referring to when the head of the DNC not long ago referred to her as “the future of the Democratic Party.” ...

...more like when SNL mocked her in a variety of character sketches, or when her flubs were cast across every media outlet, or her gaffes commemorated in news cartoons, or how her ignorance is proclaimed as a disqualification for her holding public office....

But hey, i can't recall the politician's name, but there is the other guy who thrives on attention, positive or negative - and nothing gets media attention quicker than controversy....he also has been able to gain adoration among many in his party regardless of whatever silliness he tweets...maybe I will recall his name later, but you get the point.

Yes, indeed. The point being you’re still suffering from Palin butthurt, and that another Democrat bogeyman (bogeywoman?) has moved into your head, leading you to post yet more confused ramblings.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “Thank you! Thank you!”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “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.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “Exactly, all those Constitutionalists, I will keep vigilance.”


At least she being treated the same as Quayle was, and Palin was...

I'm not sure if I understand her statement/joke correctly, but is she saying that the Constitution says "he" referring to the President's age? Because this is what is says:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

I assume you mean quotation?

A meme created by God knows Who isn't proof she said anything. I looked up the quotation online and it shows up only on one reddit article in the comments section by some anonymous person mocking her, but again no context or sourcing.

Meanwhile, your moron of a President just misspelled "smoking" twice in one tweet.
