Nancy Pelosi - Someone needs to tell him that the Presidency is not one of his personal acquisitions

[calimary]

13. Yep! Nancy was a GREAT Speaker of the House.

Her track record for success and effective vote-wrangling has SHAMED both the CONS who followed her - Boehner AND Ryan. They both made so many mistakes - blunders that Nancy would never make. She was a very effective Speaker. She was NEVER caught flat-footed on some big measure being put to a vote.

Actually there's only one time I can recall when she actually WAS caught flatfooted: immediately after 9/11 when the Capitol building was hastily evacuated, and I think because she was part of the leadership, she HAD TO be moved to safety. Secret Service or the Capitol security or some such physically hoisted her up by the armpits to hustle her outta there, and she lost both of her shoes!

On edit - a second time: she briefly stepped out of her high-heeled pumps outside the Capitol building when a crowd of Dems was jumping for joy over the failure of trumpcare so she could jump too!

But those are the only two times I know of wherein Nancy Pelosi was ever "caught flat-footed."
