I don't care for Pelosi and I think Dems need to get new leadership in both houses of congress. They need new blood and the stodgy old timers holding the top positions need to step aside for the next generation.
She and Shumer need to give up their roles, but as long as they keep getting re-elected, they do a good job of serving their constituents.
Now, guys who need to resign immediately:
Chuck Grassley IA
Mitch McConnell KY
James Inhofe OK
All of these geezers are WAY past their "best by" dates.
Yeah, turtle-face Mitch should go and add Orrin Hatch and Chuck Grassley to the list too. Those octogenarians are old fogeys who are out of touch with what our country needs. Once you hit 75, you shouldn't be allowed to run for office anymore!
I tend to agree. May corporations have mandatory retirement ages and so should government.
She has said so many ridiculous things in the past, is as “old as dirt” and consistently drags her party’s candidates down in the polls ONLY because they belong to the same political party. The Dems desperately need new and MODERATE blood, not an aged, senile, brainless sack of
For the sake of helping her party’s candidates, she should just leave.
Same reason John McCain didnt resign. They are obsessed with power and will hold it until they are on their deathbed.
I’m not exactly on that side of the aisle-lol. I used to vote exclusively Dem for most of my life (and still do if they’re moderate). Since I live and vote in Texas, I’m constantly seeing TV commercials that throw all kinds of feces at good candidates simply because they belong to the same political party as . They may be more moderate and have little to nothing in common with her, but are dragged down nonetheless.
OK. I'll fix it.

Because political leaders typically don't resign just because some random poster from either side of the aisle on C-D wants them to.
She is too old and possibly suffers from severe memory lapse. So she's clueless to what she says and does. Also I'm sure she's thought of calling it a career but by the time she builds up the nerve to do so, she's forgotten the thought.
Pelosi supports countless wars and foreign entanglement, astronomical defense spending, and draconian mass surveillance. She supports free trade deals like NAFTA, TPP, Fast Track, etc. She supports big pharma, health care industry profiteering, and remains in strict opposition to single-payer universal healthcare. She supports financial industry looting, TARP, and more economic disparity.
Progressive hero? More like the moderate, status quo to me. And really no different than Mike Pence, who also supports all of the things listed above.
Well, the RNC says she is quite a bit more popular than Trump......so that's one reason!
(look it up)......
Personally, I'd like some young blood. That said, some of these old salts are incredibly effective and knowledgeable and can get things done in Congress. I mean - remember Trump talking about "Nancy and Chuck" with affection?
I don't like to get personal with these folks. Some of the old salts like Tip O Neil got a lot of stuff done. Does anyone doubt that Nancy has a vastly better record of actual accomplishments than the last 3 GOP House Leaders? No, you can't......say that. Not true.
It's for the House to decide its own leadership...not me.

And, if you told her that, do you think she'd resign?
Have you ever known anyone, ever, in any job, who resigned because of vague complaints like that? I'm no fan of Pelosi, but you offer nothing of substance, and I certainly don't agree that that someone should resign because you think they're old.

Add Sanders, Feinstein, Biden and similar fossils on the right. There is a fine line. I'd suggest that we draw the line not just age wise, but anyone that has spent their adult life only working in the public sector. If someone hasn't spent at least 20-30 years actually doing something productive, they have no business making decisions impacting those that do so.
