Members stevenkesslar Posted Friday at 04:06 AM Members Posted Friday at 04:06 AM She has been one of the best political leaders of my lifetime. Her values and determination are awesome. I'll miss you, Nancy. The Democrats will too. Books have been and will be written about her. But these are a few paragraphs that get to the heart of it. Democrats can’t fill the Nancy Pelosi void Quote Pelosi "muscled Obamacare through and knew it would cost Dems politically. And it did. They lost the House. But she was clear-eyed that the short-term cost was worth the long-term gain — Republicans would never be able to undo it, and they would have permanently restructured the economy. And she was right.” In sum, she was “just pure mission focus and ruthless execution”. Quote This is the mystery and the genius of Nancy Pelosi. It recalls a question the former speaker reportedly levelled at Rahm Emanuel during the Obamacare battle: “Does the President not understand the way this game works? He wants to get it done and be beloved, and you can’t have both — which does he want?” Quote It was never unclear where Pelosi landed on that question. In time, though, Democrats may actually grant her both: getting it done and being revered. Call me liberal. But to me, she is both amazingly effective, and beloved. 💕 Pete1111 1 Quote
