I don't get the impression AOC is smart. Her comment about the world ending in 12 years was profoundly stupid – does that mean it was a joke?
She made correct statements about a graduated income tax, because she was an econ major and that's the one thing the probably knows about. She is able to rehearse that enough in her head that she can make a few correct statements about it in a row. But she shows no ability to react competently to new situations in real time.
She has done a lot of destruction to the Dem party, and somehow they put her on the investigations committee, where she'll just be a distraction. Still, I don't get a bright vibe from her. I never heard she was particularly bright in Yorktown high school from fellow-student comments.
