Is it time for Nancy Pelosi to graciously set aside to pave the way [View all]

for a fresh face?

I think so. The biggest problem with long serving elected officials is that they many times become tone deaf.

They are so enveloped in self importance that they don't recognize that people turn them off and stop listening.

The Democrats need to start, RIGHT NOW, that they "get it". Congressional leader would be a good place to start.
