Pelosi Is Down but Not Out
American Thinker.com ^ | February 10, 2020 | Christopher Skeet

Posted on 02/10/2020 9:00:02 AM PST by Kaslin

In every sense of the word, Trump absolutely killed it last Tuesday at the SOTU. Sitting behind President Trump, watching him master the room, the grimace of Pelosi's face betrayed the culmination of a dawning revelation that unsettled her, and it was this: Trump is really, really good at this. Optics. Stagecraft. Working the crowd. On a stage, he's untouchable.

All her political prowess at crunching poll numbers, strong-arming legislation, and setting media narratives felt impotent. For the first time, Pelosi comprehended not only the potential of Trump's ingenuity, but also the fact that she had been decisively outmaneuvered by it. For the first time, Pelosi realized Trump was not the incompetent harlequin her sycophants snottily assured her he was, but rather a skilled operator with an instinct for reading the mood of a crowd and, indeed, of a nation. But the owl of Minerva spreads its wings at dusk, and for Pelosi, her revelation may have came too late.

So there she sat, the empress with no clothes, having been de-robed by her own thankless impeachment-crazed minions and now exposed on national television. There she sat, watching her own party of curmudgeons sit stone-faced as the president beamed optimism and confidence, rattled off employment gains for women and minorities, reunited a military family, rescued a child from a failing government school, and honored Rush Limbaugh. There she sat, a day after the Iowa caucus spectacle, and a day before her adopted sham impeachment sputtered to an inglorious demise. There she sat, understanding that while McConnell's shrewdness surely didn't help her, nor the falling on their own Nerf swords of rodeo clowns Schiff and Nadler, the one person most responsible for her current predicament is Donald John Trump Senior.

I watched the SOTU speech. Anyone objective person seeing Nancy’s weird facial expressions would either conclude she was mentally disturbed or specifically trying to draw attention away from Trump or both. That, plus her ripping up the speech at the end, showed how spiteful and undignified she is.

The author makes very good points, but let’s keep something in mind: By the end of 2020 Pelosi will have spent 18 years as the Democratic leader of the House — but only SIX of them as House Speaker. There’s a reason why she has spent two-thirds of her leadership career in the MINORITY.

Tyrants are like that. They ALWAYS come back, when you fail to treat them as the traitors they are.

Her talking to her imaginary demons was a little unnerving. I’m suspecting demon possession but I’m no expert. (I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express recently though).

Oh Come ON! Pelosi knew all about President Trump and his prowess.

She over-estimated her own influence on the American People to turn them against the President.In fact she showed up at a gun fight equipped with a sling shot, a Dem left coast Jewish Bolshevik one at that.

This article tries to reconstruct Pelosi's stupidity. LESSON: She should never again rely on the Schiffs and Nadlers of her party.

Pelosi is done anyway. Soon she will be gone.

Trump can just superimpose “Keep America Great - Vote Trump 2020” and run this gif for 30 seconds as a campaign ad.

1992, the hyped “Year of the Woman.” They would bring dignity and integrity to DC. Snort.

I see one potential future. Nancy Pelosi is standing at the podium in the US House of Representatives and is turning the gavel over to the new Republican Speaker. She in turns, flies back to California, where no one talks to her. She slides into oblivion, because no one ever really liked her. They all feared her. And now that her power is gone, she has no one that will even talk to her anymore. The networks and cable hardly call anymore because she is irrelevant. The only time they call is when they need her to rubber stamp their own opinions. She will live the rest of her days in utter hatred of Donald Trump and the New Democratic Socialist Party, which avoid her advice like the plague. Loneliness will be her constant companion for the rest of her life.

Lord, here is a prayer for Nanzi!

Please, let her stay in her current role until after her tribe is defeated this November.

Pelosi is one of the best campaigners for our President and fellow Republicans!

We don’t have to pay her to create votes for our side. Her vile mouth and antics does that for free 24/7.

Go Nanzi and create more voters for our side.

The GOP - EVERY ONE OF THEM - is just as guilty as the left.

I’m not a doctor. But I would venture to say Nancy is suffering from Bell’s Palsy or a form of it.
