It seems each decade we have political fads.

Goldwater, McGovern, Hillary.

Some go further than others, but all are more bark than bite.

Tell me if you’ve seen this rerun before: a telegenic and very chic young lady, with a thin résumé and even thinner educational background, is suddenly swept into the national spotlight.

During this time, she becomes the darling of a major political party.

Because of this newfound popularity, she is sought after for endorsements and interviews.

The sycophantly surrounding her even thought she’d be able to unseat an increasingly unpopular first-term President.

I’m not talking about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

I’m talking about Sarah Palin.

Gov. Sarah Palin. Remember? The former darling of Conservatives.

Numerous presidential hopefuls — including Mitt Romney and Rick Perry — lined up for her endorsement in 2012.

For a time, some considered her the only person able to defeat a then very unpopular Barack Obama.

And what happened to Mrs. Palin?

Like a flash in the pan fad, she faded.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I loved Sarah Palin. She is a very accomplished woman and much more intelligent than low-IQ Alexandria.

However, my point is to remind you about a universal truth vis-à-vis political fads: they don’t last.

Remember the fate which befell Palin?

Obsessed with the media attention, she quit her job as governor and started doing book tours and Reality TV.

Eventually, Palin lost much of her credibility with Conservatives and faded from view.

By the time the advent of Donald Trump, the Republican Party had moved on.

In my opinion, a similar fate awaits Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

But perhaps accelerating this process for Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is the fact that each time she opens her mouth, she announces how imprudent, uninformed, and stupid she really is.

By 2020, Democrats will have moved on and left AOC behind.

You can quote me on it.
