We have excellent Dem leaders to be proud of.

(13,161 posts)The coward meter for Ole Bad Ass Kevin Compared to Speaker Pelosi. Ovaries over balls, except McCarthy has neither. She has zero fear of the fat man. Kevin cowers like the pussy trump grabbed and never let lose.

(26,464 posts)Schumer rose to the occasion was right after Trump took office and imposed the Muslim ban. Schumer was at an airport helping stranded Muslims get legal and material aid. He actually cried in sympathy for them, which TFG ridiculed, but which I thought (and still do) showed Schumer's strength of character, to be able to empathize with people in need.

BigDemVoter
(4,708 posts)Younger folks don't realize how knowledgeable and hard-working she is. . . . She always knows how many votes she has, and she is a master at getting legislation passed. Too often, Nancy gets blamed by members of her own party for people she has no control over such as Manchin and Sinema who are truly the ones who have fucked our party the most.
