In 2016, then-Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California was looking forward to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's ascension to the White House.
In "Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power," an upcoming book about Pelosi's life , Pelosi described how Clinton winning the election would have secured hard-fought legislative victories, including the Affordable Care Act.
Pelosi, then 76, saw herself spending time with her nine grandchildren and enjoying her retirement years.
But then Donald Trump won the presidency , throwing Pelosi's plans into chaos.
Pelosi expressed that she was "horrified" by Trump's win and felt "physical" pain, saying it was "like a mule kicking you in the back over and over again."
Not only did Trump win, but Republicans retained their House and Senate majorities, leaving Democrats out of power in Congress.
Pelosi, who had led the House Democratic conference since 2003 and served as Speaker from 2007 to 2011, found herself faced with the prospect of another two years in the minority and without a legislative partner in the White House.
While Pelosi was upset that a woman would not occupy the White House, she thought it was "scary" that Trump could have been elected in the first place.
"How could they elect such a person - who talked that way about women, who was so crude and … to me, creepy."
Pelosi believed that Trump was "unfit" to sit in the Oval Office, and by the end of that Election night, she knew that her time in leadership would not come to an end, aware of the political turbulence ahead.

I’m glad she felt that way. I only wish I could have gotten few kicks in too.
Pelosi's describing the wrong man....this is who fits that description...
Pelosi wrote (had ghost written) a book?!
Who writes this crapola?
“I was gasping for air”

Yep! They always ‘project’ (tell) their very own lies, don’t they?
That’s what I was thinking. She’s probably been there a few times on drunk binges. What happens in TJ stays in TJ.
Yes. There is no way she's leaving alive. She will have to be carried out of The Capitol. Sooner rather than later I hope.
Now we know how long the ruthless Dem cabal colluded and plotted to steal 2020.
Hate-filled Nanzi was plotting from election night 2016 to 2020.
What I need to say about this human excrement is a waste of time.
such great news to know ms.p felt that way, repeatedly!
love trump and so glad he did what he did and hopefuly continuing to help MAGA
I just wish it had kicked her in the head...
Nancy :
And that is a problem?
Ah yes. Those were the days.
From her mouth to God' ears?
Frankly I expect nothing but lies, deception and outright disdain to and for the public....as they see us as insignificant to their primary objective of securing their power now and for the future, as they just proved in the election they don't need voters except as props.. they can and will create them.
“How could they elect such a person - who talked that way about women, who was so crude and … to me, creepy.”

It’s a damn shame that the mule didn’t kick her in the face.
1 kick in the right place and the facelifts would cut loose, destroying the mule along with most of the block. I’d feel bad for the mule.
Petty Pelosi, the mentally ill crone, has done enough damage to America.
She needs to haul her corrupt, boney a$$ back to The People’s Republic of California and leave the American people the hell alone.
