So the sentence is basically saying that the politician's strategy backfired when he tried to draw her into discussing tax law - her favorite topic - and boring the audience because she explained the topic very clearly and powerfully.

We need a word that suggests the opponent's extremely liking to tax law.

Proclivities, Predilection

What attitude of the opponent makes it easy for her to be drawn into her favourite topic? Clearly it must be her great love for it. The words are proclivities and predilections
