Comment on Why is AOC a big deal? She just speaks common sense and calls out absurdity. Have we really gone that far off the rails where we don't do it ourselves?

I don’t even think she would do well under the pressure of the presidential campaign.

Why? She’s survived several republican smear campaigns that tried to make her the face of the party so they could beat the whole party, and she’s still going strong.

There’s nothing about AOC that makes me question her ability to handle pressure, especially in the face of sustained political smear campaigns.

It’s just my opinion but I don’t think she’s not a very good speaker and she’s not good at confronting people. In the hearings I’ve seen she’s usually very soft, can’t drive her message through and is unconvincing. Her nice, soft persona works great at local level where what she actually stands for matters more than theatrics but I don’t think that would be effective in a presidential debate.
