Is anyone willing to admit that Nancy P is starting to grow on them?

They're not so worried about needing "fresh blood" anymore?

And that maybe there is something to be said for wisdom and experience?

(Also, Trump is discombobulated at having to negotiate with a woman on an equal basis. So yay for her X chromosomes, as well.)

new leadership is developed by the most effect leadership we currently have...and that is people like Nancy Pelosi...why can't many of negative types not get that? Any person with strong leadership skills or involved in leadership or leadership education like I have will tell you that.

She was just awesome today. Yes, she should groom possible successors, but she's clearly brilliant at her job and should keep it for at least as long as Trump as in office.

She's a tough smart woman. She didn't get where she is by sitting on her butt.

Nancy Pelosi is disliked. The right wads just hate her because she is vastly superior to them in every way, but why do people on our side dislike her? Just because she's old?

Nancy is disliked because FOX demonized her for 20 years. Ask a RWNJ's why they hate Pelosi and they can't really give a cogent reason.
