(6,262 posts)We need Pelosi to lead us through 2020. She is wise. She is effective. That is why she is demonized by Trump. The ONLY reason he complimented her recently was to galvanize the House to oust her from the Speakership. A bit of false negative posturing. She scares him -- and rightly so.
My hope is that she announces her aim for Leader and says it is until 2020 and the nation is rid of Trump. The newbies have the passion, which is great, but they lack the nuts and bolts on the job experience that Pelosi has gathered through the years to make the most of the new power that we have.
Two years --- during which they may jostle to their hearts' content. THEN choose a new leader for a new era.
If they oust her and become the reverse of the "freedom caucus" on the left - we become paralyzed while they feed their egos and quest for future power.
