I’ve never seen an interview with Nancy Pelosi, so I didn’t have any idea how good she is. She has facts and details for everything. Her style is kind of Professorial in that she talks about the issues and doesn’t just answer questions. She extrapolates, adds little stories and has a wonderful sense of humor. When she was asked about the Guatemalan boy who died inUS custody she not only added the boy’s name but she included the little girl who died and used her name.

I’m really impressed with her. I hope she does this more!

1. She could be President if Trump and Pence fall. And she would be great at it.

4. She WILL be President, if trump and pence fail!!!!

[lunatica]

5. I agree!

She knows the issues and reminds me of Obama and Clinton’s ability to absorb huge quantities of facts. No matter what anyone asked them they knew all about it, even if it was really fresh news. She seems to be of that caliber.

19. +1. That's why Republicans demonized her

like they demonized Hillary

[calimary]

18. That wouldn't bother me a bit!

Wouldn’t it be a trip if that happened? She’d have to appoint a VP.

What if it were Hillary?



Fantasizing just for fun.

2. She is outstanding, which shouldn't surprise but as you've suggested,

we don't often see her in similar contexts as this.

[lunatica]

6. Actually it doesn't surprise me as much as it delights me!

[Stinky The Clown]

3. That's Nancy Pelosi being Nancy Pelosi

She really is that good.

7. Very impressive n/t

8. You've never seen an interview with Nancy Pelosi?

That is surprising.

[lunatica]

10. I've never seen this Town hall style of interview

This is very different from a 10 minute interview on an hour show like Rachel’s. Joy is giving her all the space and time to expound as long as she wants to.

Are you watching?

[elleng]

11. Yes, it's a different style interview,

just right for now, and would be right for presidential hopefuls too.

[lunatica]

12. I agree.

Having an audience with the camera scanning the faces is very helpful too.

[oberliner]

14. Oh, OK

Yeah - she's doing great. I always enjoy listening to her speak.

15. More of this, please, MSNBC!

Joy Reid is great at hosting this.

9. Thank Goodness for Nancy Pelosi!

[hostalover]

13. I just watched it. She was phenomenal!

[joet67]

16. watching now

17. I think part of the problem

with the public's perception of Nancy Pelosi is there have been so few one on one interviews with her. I recall seeing her on Charlie Rose's show a couple years ago and I was very impressed. Most of the time, all we see are short press briefing at the capital. It is really not enough to get a feel for a person.

[lunatica]

20. I really hope to see more of her like this

She would win over all those who think she’s too old. They would realize her age and experience are the very thing that’s needed.

[PatSeg]

22. Yes, I agree

I know that I'm starting to appreciate her a lot more than I did a few years ago. Her accomplishments have been pretty remarkable, but most people weren't aware of it. Meanwhile, the media wasn't very complimentary for the most part.

21. The more I see of her, the more impressed I am.

Go Nancy! We are behind you all the way!
