I'm on board with AOC, she's great, so is Jasmine Crockett. Pete Buttigieg. But none of them have Emanuel's experience, including his leadership in getting more Democrats elected to Congress than any other Congressional or DNC chair since 2000. Throw out the old and we lose that experience, and we sure haven't seen that kind of leadership since.
