It was SO great hearing commentators today rave about how perfectly Pelosi's handling impeachment

[StarfishSaver]

Words like "brilliant," "adamant," "focused," "disciplined," "relentless," and "perfectly timed" are music to my ears when applied to the woman who has been attacked, criticized, and second-guessed throughout this process but is now showing us she knew exactly what she was doing all along and is now doing it pitch perfect.

GO, Speaker Pelosi!!!

1. K&R

[mcar]

2. About damn time

[bdamomma]

3. Didn't I read here

that Speaker Pelosi and Rep. Schiff and a team of others have gone out of country to discuss the Turkish slaughter of the Kurds.

[Hekate]

14. Work is in progress all the time

[sheshe2]

4. The media woke?

I sure hope so. This is a start.

Brava Nancy Pelosi!

[ismnotwasm]

5. I had always imagined her

In the midst of a battle, finding the perfect moment to launch the offensive dispute enormous pressures, you know “steady, steady, patience, almost there” and then BOOM the right time arrived. Absolutely brilliant.

[smirkymonkey]

6. Well played Speaker Pelosi!

It's about time you got the recognition you deserved.

[Kurt V.]

7. They're blowing it.

[StarfishSaver]

8. LOL

What took you so long?

[Kurt V.]

10. I'm on vacation. my apologies for being late. :)

9. k; r

[cynatnite]

11. Chris Matthews admitted he was wrong...

about how she handled it before the Ukraine blowup.

He praised her handling of it.

12. Many Here at DU Also Owe Pelosi an Apology for Questioning Her Strategy and Timing.

Hard to imagine now that there were actually House members who thought it was time for new leadership and wanted her to step down. It's hard to imagine anyone else being able to navigate all the issues she has had to deal with.

[NBachers]

18. Remember "The Problem Solvers Caucus?"

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. was that the "5 white guys" who should open a hamburger stand?

21. I apologize Nancy.

I apologize Nancy.

[Hekate]

13. It was extremely gratifying

[flibbitygiblets]

15. Not just during the impeachment process; Pelosi's been demonized for years

But now the world has seen Trump just about piss his pants in fear of her, and we are in awe. Every Republican pundit and politician fears Trump. Pelosi's strength and courage scares the crap out of them all, but they at least respect her now.

[pnwmom]

16. I couldn't agree more. It's gratifying to see them finally get it! n/t

[NastyRiffraff]

17. Attacked by many on the left

including here on DU, who are thankfully largely silent now. Who knew that Nancy Pelosi knew more than they did about the process, the state of her caucus, and the best time to publicly begin the process?

[maxsolomon]

23. If the Whistleblower hadn't come forward, where would we be?

Pelosi was waiting for the right moment; she didn't know that it would come. She just knew that the Mueller Report wasn't it.

I still think the Mueller Report was adequate to Impeach, but this scandal has a much better chance of Conviction in the Senate. Meaning about 1 in 5.

29. It really pisses me off that the people here that attacked her have gone mute now.

They were loud and abrasive. I want them to fucking show themselves now.

[Sloumeau]

19. Yes! Nicole Wallace and her entire panel were very complimentary

today about Speaker Pelosi's handling of the impeachment inquiry on Wallace's Dateline show on MSNBC today. I am hoping that the Democrats get a most if not all of their witnesses to talk.

[lunatica]

22. It is a joy!

I love that she is being vindicated. Love it!

[Stinky The Clown]

24. I am sad I can only give this one rec

I continue to see her disrespected in a lot of venues. DU rules prevent me from saying more.

[StarfishSaver]

25. Just like the pundits who ended up with egg all over their faces after their predictions for 2016

went bust, revealing that, for the most part, they don't really know what they're talking about, and went right back pontificating as if they were never proven wrong, plenty of people here continue to second guess Speaker Pelosi, even though their previous admonitions and criticisms hadn't been proven completely wrong.

"She doesn't want to impeach... she's afraid to impeach... She'll never impeach... She's trying to run out the clock... They didn't impeach the day after the Mueller Report was released, now it's too late to do anything ..." has been replaced with "they must vote on a House resolution to start impeachment" and "She's doing it all wrong."

[padah513]

26. Considering that they were so ready to burn her

On the stake a few short months ago, not to mention all the naysayers here, I'd say yeah. Humble pie is still pie after all, and all pie is good. Vanilla ice cream is optional.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. Yup, ya gotta give Nancy ENORMOUS credit for her handling of impeachment lately.

My hat's off to her!!




Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

28. That woman has a spine of steel.

For many years she has been heading up fundraisers to raise campaign money for Democratic Party candidates, some of whom were ripping her to pieces publicly. The attacks on her didn't matter to her, getting democrats into office seemed to have mattered more.
