I only read (skimmed) the OP link, but I didn't read that she was the greatest speaker, only the most powerful.
Being the most powerful does not always equal "greatest". In fact, when I think of the most powerful leaders in the past, I think of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, etc. -- all very powerful, but very far from "great" (as I think most people would define that word).
She gets what she wants because her party house members are hardline party members. She does seem to know when to pander to the radical elements. But losing all those house seats in November still says tons.
She did stay on and rode the TDS train longer than Bohner & Ryan stayed on the Obama disdain train.
Pelosi has a secret — she grew up in a corrupt political dynasty that helped run Baltimore into the ground.
Her father, Thomas D’Alesandro Jr., was mayor of the city during the height of Jim Crow racial segregation and used racial tensions in the city for his political gain.
The effects of D’Alensandro’s reign from 1947 to 1959, the time of the post-World War II economic boom, forced many African-Americans into what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called “rat-infested slums” in cities like Baltimore and Chicago.
What does it say about a movement that will topple Confederate statues and be so rabid against racism - while at the same time overlooking a woman in political leadership whose father epitomized the racism that is should be hated?
Note the underlined... like father, like daughter. Because then you get crackpot statements like Floyd sacrificed his life for justice. Which really means Floyd's death advances their political agenda.
Big media currying more favors along with blatantly bias repORting.
I know she is not popular on this forum but I think she is an amazing politician. Truly a master. I am particularly impressed that she has accomplished so much as a woman in the male dominated world of politics.

Being an amazing politician carries as much weight with me as being the tallest midget in the circus.

I am sure your opinion is important to you. Not so sure it influences the historical and political scholars or it effects the legacy that will live on after she leaves the senate.
