Please: Not Another Speaker Pelosi (Are you prepared for a re-run?)

Nancy Pelosi is an embarrassment to Congress, and most members of Congress are an embarrassment to America.

When Pelosi was speaker of the House, she famously stated that Congress needed to pass Obamacare to see what was in the bill.  She also pondered openly whether the Democrat leadership of the House of Representatives ought to "deem" the Senate version of the bill to have passed the House to avoid having members of the House voting on the bill.

Pelosi six years ago opined that unemployment liberated Americans to become photographers or writers or musicians – unemployment was an opportunity for those lucky enough to lose their jobs.  Yet almost exactly six years later, with Republicans controlling the White House and Congress, Pelosi totally reversed her attitude toward unemployment.  She commented recently on the latest unemployment figures as evidence that "the wealthiest one percent continue to hoard the benefits of the U.S economy."

This comes out of the mouth of the seventh richest person in Congress, whose estimated wealth is $191 million.  Pelosi's wealth 25 times greater than the top one percent in America at her age, which is $7.6 million.  Pelosi's wealth is much greater than the top one thousandth (0.1%) of the nation, which is $43 million.  Pelosi's wealth is even greater than the top ten thousandth (0.01%) of Americans, which $100 million.

With Ryan, I couldn’t tell the difference.

You aren't insane so there is no reason to say things like that. Ryan would not have proposed and passed Obamacare and numerous other policies passed by the Pelosi led House that were signed by Obama. Likewise Pelosi would not have proposed and passed policies such as the sweeping tax reform that is now law.

Pelosi said civilization itself would come to an end if the Republicans took control of the Senate in the 2014 elections.

At every turn? You think tax reform would have passed and gotten to Trump's desk and be signed into law if Dems were in control of Congress? Do you think Neil Gorsuch and other judges would be sitting on the courts if Dems were in charge?

Yes, they've been terrible a lot - but there are huge things highly consequential things like the above that have been pushed through that never would have even seen the light of day if the Democrats were in charge...and pretending otherwise is just not true.
