(58,785 posts)all of whose successes depended on selecting the right leaders from among over 200 of them, to choose Nancy to be the first female House Speaker in American history. Highest ranked female ever and third in line to the presidency.
And then her colleagues did it again, in spite of massive external attempts to derail by those who really need her gone.

WASHINGTON Two men, sons of immigrants, rising to be the head of their own empires, powerful forces in their ethnic communities. Both dapper and mustachioed with commanding personalities. And both wielding a potent influence on the children who learned at their knees and followed them into the family businesses.
But heres the difference: Big Tommy DAlesandro Jr. taught little Nancy how to count. Fred Trump taught Donald, from the time he was a baby, that he didnt have to count or be accountable; Daddys money made him and buoyed him.
Fred, a dictatorial builder in Brooklyn and Queens from German stock, and Big Tommy, a charming Maryland congressman and mayor of Baltimore from Italian stock, are long gone. But their roles in shaping Donald and Nancy remain vivid, bleeding into our punishing, pressing national debate over immigration, a government shutdown and that inescapable and vexing Wall.
