Nancy Pelosi Is Showing Up The Haters Who Thought She Was Too Old

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

It wasn’t clear whether Nancy Pelosi would be speaker when Democrats won control of the House in last November’s elections.

Considered too much of a lightning rod for Republicans, a couple dozen of the chamber’s Democrats sought to force her to give up the spot at the top of their caucus. The Democratic Party, they argued, needed “change” ― younger, fresher faces in its leadership ranks.

But now, just a couple months later, Pelosi is riding high.

Pelosi has become the chief foil of President Donald Trump in the government shutdown fight. Both Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) refuse to give Trump the $5.7 billion he wants to build a wall along the U.S. southern border. But it’s Pelosi who has been the main antagonist.

2. "Old" is the horizon.

It never gets any closer and is always something that one approaches.

3. Experience we can trust! NANCY PELOSI ROCKS!!!

Amazing to think about how some wanted to choose someone else to be Speaker. So much hand-wringing about wanting "new blood" or "someone younger" ... basically they wanted change for the sake of change. What a short-sighted mistake that would have been! Especially NOW.
