LOL.
I don’t know 23 at all. But, I admire his courage. What abuse from the Right!
Pelosi? Fasten your seatbelt. IMHO as a moderate Dem, she is the most effective Speaker since Tip O’Neal. Why? Her caucus is totally unwieldy. AOC and the Squad on the left, many in the middle and some conservative members who have won in districts carried by Trump. Despite this radical diversity, she keeps people in line and assembles the necessary votes.
Listened to a political podcast this week where a former Democratic leader described working with Nancy. When you walk into her office, you see two things: a rack of baseball bats against the wall and a large bowl of Ghirardelli chocolates On the table. The subliminal message is clear: we can do this the hard way or the easy way. But, we’re gonna get this done.
In the context of the SF Bay Area, Nancy is not seen as a liberal. Rather, she is seen as an establishment insider who gets shiz done. A political professional of extraordinary ability. Dems will miss her when she retires.
