She did her job.

Donald Trump has run roughshod over our laws, our institutions, our Constitution and only one person has held him accountable. She was able to get her caucus together and impeach him. He was deeply surprised that anyone would challenge his authority.

Now he sits in the White House, sulking that a woman would put him in his place. The whole world knows he was deserving of the punishment.

Now, he complains that the "crazy" woman is holding up the Articles of Impeachment from the Senate. After all, McConnell has said he wants it over quickly. Trump believes he has it fixed. So, there is no worry about what the Senate might do.

She has done her duty as required by the Constitution. Soon, she will pass the Articles to the Senate for a "trial". The spineless Senate will vote and say that he has been acquitted. They will not do their job.

There's a lesson in this impeachment process. If you want the job done, get a woman to do it.

She is a great leader, in my opinion.

Her daughter, Christine, was on CNN this morning, and she has a lot of insights into her mother.

After listening to the daughter, I'm not too sure Nancy is going to hand over the Articles of Impeachment anytime soon?

Pelosi is driving Trump crazy by ignoring him. The other Leaders he insulted are making fun of him, including Foreign Leaders.

The media is finally calling him on his lies.a good share of his enablers lors are in jail or under investigation, more corruption is exposed every day.

I agree wholeheartedly with the comment above that integrity is what matters, not gender. I've had equal numbers of terrible female bosses.

I hope we get to a point in this society where gender isn't mentioned when giving someone accolades. To me, that will be true gender equality.

Concerning the original OP.....because -45 is a sexist ass, it hurts him more that Speaker Pelosi is a woman.

that folks do not understand political strategy. They seem caught up in who they "like" and not who is really the best leader.

if the whistleblower had not come forward or the IG had not turned over his information to Congress? Absolutely Speaker Pelosi did the right thing, but why disparage Democrats, Congress people included, who still feel that Trump should have been impeached over the Mueller report, heaven knows he deserved it? Who can say how that impeachment would have turned out? I have no problem with Democrats who were calling for Trump's impeachment over the Mueller report.

United we stand, divided we fall.

At that point, our caucus was divided, and the public was notbehind it. Any attempt at impeachment would have failed. That is why Pelosi was right to wait.

...Which side of history do Republicans want to be on? They can choose to be on the right side of infamy--or be buried by it.

Choose Wisely, GOPee.
