Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, and John Roberts are leaders in name only. From my perspective, Republicans have forfeited any claims of leadership to any part of the government.
The Speaker of the House is not only a constitutional officer; they're also second-in-line to the Presidency. And I think it's safe to say that none of us seriously believe that the deranged criminal clown occupying the Oval Office or his far-right Christian extremist Veep are acting as OUR leaders in any way, shape, or form. Neither is the moral black hole that is the Senate Majority Leader or the leader of the hard-right Federal Society majority at the Supreme Court.
Nancy Pelosi is the only person in a position of top leadership of any branch of the federal government actually demonstrating any leadership. "Coincidentally", she's the only one who's a Democrat. Curious, ain't it?
