Nancy Pelosi Will Rise Again

[WeekiWater]

Some Democrats are tired of Pelosi, and Republicans can’t stand her. Here’s why she’ll almost definitely be speaker again anyway.

1. I admire and respect Nancy Pelosi but I hope as Speaker

she grooms some of the party's younger rising stars and brings them into House leadership positions.

2. she is too polite

the age of political correctness has long gone. We need a fighter similar to Kamala Harris who never holds back. A former prosecutor is more appropiate for these positions given the realities of true criminals ruling the country at highest levels. Maybe Adam Shiff would be more suitable. It should be someone who is presidential material.

3. Too Polite....Hmmm

THe person who has gotten more done in the House than most in many years, who raises more money than any other Dem, who can get a bill through like nobody's business. That Nancy Pelosi is too polite and that is your criticism of her? She can get the job done without yelling and screaming. So she, this highly effective woman is not presidential material and a man would be better suited for her job.

No wonder the Dems have such a hard time when they eat their own every chance they get.

4. People too often equate good manners and politeness with weakness...

Nancy has got a lot done, and doesn't get the pub that Repubs do.

5. You're Quite Right

Apparently, they aren't acquainted with the notion of an iron hand in a velvet glove.

7. that's not the point

she is not presidential material because she is not interested in running. We need to think about the future and 50 states long term strategy. She has been effective but represents the past, maybe present but not the future. She is not the future of democratic party. I admire her and her accomplishments. At the same time, Hillary is the most accomplished woman in politics but do I want her to run again in 2020? No. Because we need to focus on the future. This means being pragmatic and strategic. Our country will never be the same, we’ve experienced a fundamntal change. New minds are needed to move forward.

8. We Won't Have A Future If We Don'tTake Care Of Now

And all your disclaimers of admiration ring hollow

6. "...too polite" eh?

9. How Many Times Have We Heard Versions Of That?
