Her intelligence, work ethic and commitment to progressive causes are clear. I think she is one of the most prepared members of Congressional Committees. Her time is never wasted and I always learn something from watching her. I agree she is a rising star.

However, i think campaigning in a progressive district is different than campaigning nationally and her presence on the presidential campaign trail may have been too much for some voters who might have considered voting Dem.

There is an art to SUCCESSFULLY advancing positions outside of one’s like-minded colleagues or constituents. AOC hasn’t mastered this.

Lastly, I don’t it’s always productive to share thoughts or opinions publicly on social media. I just don’t get the point.
