If your child wants to be student body President

[Mick1]

Both of my sons were student body president of their high school. It isn’t that difficult. A class election is hard, the voters all know you and know you well. But an office representing the student population? You’re largely elected by people who don’t know you. That makes it a marketing exercise.

My sons did the following to get elected:

1. The selected a running mate that appealed to a group of people different from my sons’ core social group. And each running mate had a great sense of humor.
2. They ran as juniors and they were tight with frosh and soph leaders who leveraged their own popularity on behalf of my sons.
3. They used humor throughout…posters, speeches, etc.
4. Teenaged boys really care about two things. While they couldn’t do much about one, they promised the other…on the last day of finals, they would have the In-N-Out truck parked at the campus for a fundraiser. Each son, four years apart, got a standing ovation for that Santa goodie.

Today, according to recent polls, the leader of the Democratic party is that champion of marketing, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes. As I predicted weeks back, she is the emergent winner. She wasn’t tarred and feathered with the old folks, but she is connected with the most well-liked elderly outsider, Bernie Saunders, who was a distant second in this poll…and he’s not even a Democrat.

It’s one thing to be prez of a high school. That isn’t consequential. But to run the greatest country in history? Her? Really? I keep waiting for cooler heads to prevail. Please tell me that brainless, witless dolt isn’t going to be in charge of the nuclear trigger.

The Champion of Marketing, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the perceptible leader of the Democrats, followed by two far-left progressives. Interesting how far Obama has fallen. Newsom, Pelosi, Schumer right where they should be…
