Many people have also (probably correctly) stated that if the horrible plague of Trumpism is going to be permanently excised from our politics, he needs to be defeated at the ballot box. If he is removed by Congress, his base will just stew in their seething anger for longer and it will make it harder for the GOP party to move on from this nightmare.

Oh yeah. She absolutely owned Trump. Pelosi 2, Trump 0.

The left can say they opposed the wall because it was a waste of tax dollars, but their history illustrates the hypocrisy in that. They opposed it because it was Trump's pork.

Pelosi as well as Trump is a national embarrassment. The groupies on both sides empower these prima donnas.
Nope, Trump held the country hostage and Pelosi refused to negotiate with a terrorist.

She will be willing to negotiate now, and she will even agree to something that allows a modicum of face saving for Trump (although of course he'll lie no matter what and claim he "won") but it will not be a 25 billion dollar 20 foot high wall (or what his most recent nonsense was) or even a $5.7 billion down payment on one.

And btw,

Nope, Obama didn't "double the debt" (really, the US debt is $40 million??) on a gas station in Afghanistan

Your other claims are equally spurious

It was actually bigger, in terms of the wishes of the American people. Dems won by 10 points.

It just didn't result in as many seats because of the exceedingly good job of gerrymandering the GOP did after their red wave in 2010.

No need to have the dog hauled off the premises and be replaced by a smoother, cleaner, more dangerous, smarter dog.

If a congressional leader has to deal with a president of the opposing party, what better than to have a weakling like Trump, who has become putty in her hands?

It bears posting the money shot from that link:

"When she (Pelosi) was asked how President Donald Trump will handle the issue of reopening the government without any wall money, she gestured towards her office decorations and said: “we could plant these flowers along the border and he’d say, ‘I got my wall.’"

She out-maneuvered Trump. What does that say about Trump’s mental status?

In case you don’t know, the conservative media thinks she out-played him too.

Bottom line - Nancy has ba11s and Paul Ryan didn't/doesn't.
Paul Ryan is the most cowardly person to ever hold public office. I can’t even stand to see his face. Nancy Pelosi is so far beyond him, I can’t even put it into words.

She didn't have to deal because she had all the power and used it to make Trump look like the loser he is. You realize that the government is open and Trump didn't get a cent for the wall, right?
