Showing Original Post only (View all)Selecting Stacey Abrams to give the response was a brilliant move by Pelosi and Schumer [View all]
It allows them to show off the diverse young energy in the party, without getting caught in a trap of appearing to play favorites among the Congressional newcomers.
Not to mention it's hard to find starker contrast to Trump than a fierce, elegant young black woman.
The only thing keeping me from dying of happiness over this right now is if I drop dead, I'll miss Stacey's speech.
