Nov 2018

After the great work that she has done.

Yes, there should be debates about who should be the best to lead us to 2020 and to block Trump, but right form the start to say that now they are elected they should oppose her and not even provide a reason?

I have seen some threads on these pages, too, objecting to her being the Speaker. I think just objecting with no good reason is attack.

Certainly the Republican ads linking a candidate with her were attack.

It is like Limpdick thundering "Hillary!" without adding anything and the message for his dittoheads was clear.

Same with "Nancy Pelosi." I am not aware of any male politician whose enemies would just say his name and the blood pressure of the listeners would rise.
