Actually, the one who kind of scares me the most is AOC - not for her ideas but because I honestly don't think she is all that smart and I get the vibe of a classic Queen Bee mean girl from her. I'd take a grifting opportunist like Kamala over her any day.
I like AOC and hope she becomes majority leader some day. I don't think she is quite presidential material. I expect her modus operandi to get more mature; she is a very young millennial. She obviously has star power, and she makes a good appealing leader for the left and a good foil for attacks from the right. Her faction so far is rather small in the House. I get it that sometimes she can get rather temperamental in her attacks.
I watched AOC interrogate one of the Trump minions who was foolish enough to actually testify before the House, and she was a excellent litigator. In short, she played him like a fiddle, not that it did any good. She's smart but brash. Brash will calm with time, and the brains will still be there.
Her forte is stirring things up, so, for now, she'll be a thorn in the side of Democratic Party. That's OK. It needs a little serious needling.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
