I doubt a top-of her-class Ivy League law graduate her age could have done any better.

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has many followers on social media. I hope her colleagues will start to follow her example in the hearing room.'

And I was so impressed by how she expertly handled it in her questioning of Cohen . She has a really good future ahead for her for this young lady. Now they can use it for many things, especially his taxes.

targeted questions, a quality process - identify the problem, why is it happening (root cause if you will), who is responsible for fixing the problem, what is the solution, and what is the time frame for action....perfect set up for advancing the issues through whatever means possible in a slow turning congress....great time management on AOCs part...

Reminds me:

I know he was a Senator, not a Congressman, but can you imagine how skillfully Al Franken would have led Cohen down the "evidence" trail?

Still, AOC provides hope for America!

😞

Sell nothing but at post offices in NY state.

Although I disagree with her on a minor outside issues, NO one is a sharper, quicker interviewer. She's always on fire.

make a person any better at getting right to the heart of something.

If anything, it makes them very good at obfuscation.

This is one (of MANY) examples why Whoppi and others were dead wrong about her.

that said she had to sit in the back and stay quiet while she "learned the job"?

of one "needing experience" to get the job.

They said the same about PRESIDENT OBAMA.

Funny, they later thought that they needed an "outsider" with "business background" to run the country.

How'd that work out?

(that includes those silly little things, you know, like being able to read............................)

Lacking experience (PRESIDENT OBAMA):

Obama's only experience was as a community activist.
Obama has only had one term as a Senator.

Outsider/business leader (IQ45)

We need someone that is not a career politician.
He will run the country like a business.

Those are examples that I remember. What is it that you are questioning?

They ignored the fact that Obama worked for a year at a Wall Street business newsletter in New York City, right out of college. And they ignored his JD in law school and subsequent job experience in law.

I don't recall mentioning any names.

Besides, how could it refer to anyone specific if these words were never even said? Odd.

No one here said that.

Was the question.

But since you refuse to answer that one here's another. How would you react if I condescendingly called you "sweetie"?


That one's rhetorical. No answer required.

I have never had an interaction with you. And the first time you ever respond to me, it is with hostility.

I do know George. We have had several discussions and exchanges here.

You are very thin-skinned. You tried to start an argument with me over nothing. You belong on ignore. Bye.

she said she always wanted to be a lawyer, but didn’t have funds for law school

She was very, very good.

There are many things about MS. Ocasio-Cortez that I question, but in defending our democracy from grifters she was the best.

I am in California -- she is in New York. I really don't have much cause to observe new congressional candidates that far away. I am in a much better position to tell you who is running for the first time in So Cal, as long as they are buying tv ads in the enormous overall Los Angeles market.

But I have to tell you, AOC now has my attention, and kudos to her.

naysayers. She’s obviously a very fast learner.

but all of the Democrats on that committee asked pointed, relevant questions that resulted in information leading to the possibility of Trump having committed crimes of one sort or another.

This article does a disservice to all the hard working Democrats on that committee.

I did not see it as denegrating the other members of the committee at all.

There are too many that just don’t do a good job. One is too many.

If you had, you would know they all made excellent points, and elicited additional leads for future interviews. Like the Trump kids, because Cohen discussed with them many times the Moscow Hotel. That he had two checks he says are proof that Trump paid him for the illegal payoff to Stormey Daniels and the other woman.

That he heard Trump discuss the Wikileaks emails over the phone with Stone.

That he had undervalued properties to lessen his taxes.

And...

or laying out background that no one needs to hear. I was impressed with AOC's precise, articulate and relevant questioning. If only they'd all be like that. Maybe they'll learn.

I'm sure she hears things about the Trump family around NYC.
