Nancy Pelosi

Am I the only one tired of seeing her? Wanted to shed skin when I saw her today on MTP.

I agree Valentina. Not sure where all of this hatred comes from with Pelosi.

Can't fricken stand her. Back when I worked on the Hill, I dreaded any interaction my team had to have with her. Now, I hate that she is still in any position of power, especially after the Democratic party failed constituents the past 2 years.

Schumer is in the Senate, not Congress. The lifting he is doing is differently felt than Pelosi, and more visibly so far since Senate's job is front-loaded with various confirmation hearings for the incoming President's nominees. Pelosi's only real challenge under Trump was the AHCA bill, and to a certain extent the ISP stuff which Democrats in general were not too thrilled to spend energy on. She still whipped all Dems (bar faux-Dems who're basically GOP) to vote against that bill. There's tax reform, new budget, and border wall bill coming up - let's see what she does with those.

There's also a confusing narrative about a House majority/minority leader's job as someone who decides direction of the party in terms of election resource allocation. The DNC as a whole is to blame for party's embarrassing loss, not Pelosi. She does share some blame, but not nearly enough to "go away". If anything, I'd like to see her make up for her mistakes by staying and fighting, using her experience and resources as only she can. You don't fire someone because they have too much experience.

As for younger, youthful leaders who can take over - Kristen G, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Ted Lieu, Keith Ellison, Adam Schiff (I can go on, but I'd say we can expect a future Presidential candidate in of any of these people). Granted, some of them have held office for quite sometime now, but they're all pretty vocal post-2016.

Pelosi was good at her job, but the Dems need new leadership, preferably someone who is not a senior citizen.

So much misinformation in this post. Where does one begin? Also, how old are you?

The overt ageism exhibited here is disturbing.

Right. Ageism. Okay, "Cat Guy" (who were you previously?)

How original! Thanks for posting from another sock puppet account. :)

If the rest of Independent America is repulsed by Pelosi, like they were Clinton isn't that an issue? I would like PJ to comment on this. He who obviously thought disgust of Clinton was a fallacy.
