    The fact that the Democratic establishment gave her a speech at the convention proves this. I was waiting if they’d come around to her instead of kind of distancing themselves from her for a while.

    When Bernie ran he didn’t have the Democratic establishment’s blessing; nor a fair media presence especially in 2015. But like Obama, AOC is going to have the trifecta of a) Grassroots energy, b) DNC support, and c) Solid media coverage.
