Just listen to her! She is prepared, incisive, on point with real policy, talking about her work behind the scenes, and she just said subpoena, if we have to.
I want her behind the little man at the next SOTU breathing fire down his neck.

(1,201 posts)She's the best but I always felt we lost the house do to public anger over her refusal to investigate or impeach Bush. She said it would detract from getting legislation done which is accurate but this is also the responsibility of the House and Trump should be in prison, not pretending to be president. Pelosi got more legislation done and sent to senate than any HS before her yet most os ot got filibustered in the senate which is likely again. She has so much on her plate but if anyone can do it Pelosi can.

Nancy Pelosi is often treated as a far-left cartoon character, but she is a wiley operative, long skilled in the art of backroom political pressure and dealmaking. Her speech last night was balanced and focused on results. I think many may be surprised by her strategic acumen.

(10,206 posts)One of the biggest thrills of my life was sitting next to her on an SFO -> DCA flight a few years ago. It was all I could do to not fangirl all over her while she worked on the plane... I held myself back until we landed. Maybe someday it will happen again...!

(4,872 posts)Ive sometimes wondered about her recently. I dont believe she was as clear and and concise as she was today. Well done. I liked her response on the Trump tax return question. The media is obsessed with it. She shut it down by putting it in perspective and moving on. Other Dems should take note.

It's a bumper sticker unsupported by rational thought.

(812 posts)She's got the experience, temperament, and knowledge of how Congress works. I thought she did a great job this morning, laying out the goals and objectives of the new DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY House of Representatives. No more rubber stamping of everything Trump and his evil enablers want and all the other committees that are now led by Democrats. Taking control of the House is the most important win we could have had. Let's focus on that for now.

(6,557 posts)I support her 1000%. Bringing in someone new at this point is anti-productive when we just received the House and the power it will give for checks and balances. She is one smart, qualified, and experienced person who we need at the helm right now!

(3,077 posts)I absolutely love her. She is a strong and intelligent woman and ousting her is what the Greed Over Principles party wants. She is a force to be reckoned with. She has experience and expertise that has helped the party a great deal. The misogyny and ageism is thick when it comes to her. It's like she is supposed to shut up and go away because she is older. Screw that. We need all voices of every age range. She is a powerhouse and proud to support her service to the people.
pdsimdars
(6,007 posts)By contrast Nancy said she plans to offer a platter of bipartisan issues.
Now, anyone looking at those 2 responses can see the difference. AND, the Republicans did just that. They blocked and obstructed and wouldn't even accept their OWN proposals when it was Obama offering them. The Dems need to learn how to use FORCE and stop begging and pleading. I am not sure that Nice Lady Nancy is the one who can do that, much as I love her.

(15,320 posts)Yeah, makes sense someone who would call Pelosi "Nice Lady Nancy" would think that.
