Well, not doubted so much...just impatient. I guess like moms everywhere, she knew if she gave the toddler-in-chief enough time and rope, he'd hang himself.

It seemed like so many people were so egotistical that they believed they were experts on everything with PhDs in law & decades of experience in the House & had access to all the information she had & were looking at the same long-term (post-Trump) big picture she was & they knew so much better than she did ... Jesus. It literally got to the point where I seriously considered deleting every social media account I have because I was so tired of the senseless Dem-bashing & Pelosi-bashing BS, bashing that was being done by people who claimed to be Democrats.

To be clear, the vast majority of what I saw was on Twitter, but any regular user of this site knows there was also a steady stream of it here.

Despite what some might think, support doesn’t mean fealty or absence of and criticism on positions of critical importance.
