      Why is AOC so much better at questioning and extracting commitments from witnesses in congressional hearings than so many of her colleagues? God

      Short answer is staffing. AOC has a staff that cares about policy, not just re-election.

          She has to care too. She has clearly put in the work to understand how to cross examine witnesses. She also has clearly put in the thought to decide, what is the one thing I have to make sure I get. She acts like a good lawyer.

          she said she has her fundraising locked down so she does not have to make fundraising calls so she can study.

          This is almost certainly a crucial element, but her personal skills are equally important. She has a good bullshit detector, low tolerance for bullshit, and an ability to manage bullshitters—including the ability to let them save face by making concessions to her.

          I feel like this is not discussed nearly enough. She makes smarter than average people look dim by comparison.

          How can this be true when 80% of House seats are rated as safe right now.

          Any Member of Congress can hire smart staff. Not every Member uses them.

          There is also the fact that she attends a lot of committee meetings. She prioritizes them over fundraising. So, she has a lot of practice.
