Not really. I know a lot of Democrats that don't like her.

To be Speaker of the House you need an absolute majority of the votes of all House members of both parties.

Disagree that it is bad to have Nancy wearing Cal Scarf.
1. Most people won't recognize a Cal scarf.
2. Most Californians dislike Trimp as evidenced by the Blue Wave in Ca at the Midterms
3. California (Brown and Newsome) has been in conflict with Trump.
4. The comments that Pelosi is disliked. IMO are overblown. The Rebels wanted a change in leadership. Nancy is not liked in many states where the Rebels won. But Nancy's popularity and skills in governing enabled her to blow away the Rebels or to convert them to her side.
5. Nancy is in a position to support Cal in the Federal Government. A good change from what has gone on over the past few years.
6. Many of Those people in other states who hate Pelosi probably already hate Berzerkley.
7. Cal is a State University looking mainly for support within CA. Being anti-trump (not necessarily anti-Republican unless the Republicans identify with Trump) might hurt Cal. But in my opinion -- not much.
8. Cal is a place where students learn to "speak truth to power". Trump has been the epitome of a ruler who refuses to listen to truth and to bully and intimidate those any one who challenges him or tells him that he is wrong. Nancy and Schumer as a team have proven that they won't be bullied or intimidated into silence. Nancy embodies the best Cal values.

Well said Fyt! Certainly better than wearing a MAGA hat!Fyght4Cal said:
LOL. Love the scarf. Nancy Pelosi is extremely popular in her district, in the Democratic Party, in her caucus and the Dems in K Street. She shows what I always said about California politicos - we can lead the country better than anyone because we deal with the whole world just within our borders. #GoBears
To the contrary, Speaker Pelosi understands how to use power to achieve results. She clearly knows how and when to communicate her position on key issues. Additionally, she has coalesced the Democratic HR membership behind her agenda. That is a remarkable feat.TheFiatLux said:GivemTheAxe said:Golden One said:Not really.

I'm sorry. Nancy is loathsome. Just because she's not loathsome in the same way that Trump is loathsome, and just because she's got a Cal scarf on, doesn't make here any less so.
As for your point #8, with all due respect, that is rich considering the topic. Nancy Pelosi has used her position of power to punsish anyone who challenges her - ie speak truth to power - particularly inside her own party.
"...bully and intimidate..." you mean like "You have to pass it before you can read it."? And, "Can we discuss the Wall and a remedy for Dreamers? No."71Bear said:To the contrary, Speaker Pelosi understands how to use power to achieve results. She clearly knows how and when to communicate her position on key issues.

Interestingly enough, she has earned the respect of the one person who most would rank "least likely" to respect her use of political power - the President. While he may not be the brightest guy in Washington, he understands power and he knows that he has a worthy adversary in the Speaker.
I salute Speaker Pelosi for holding her ground in the current mess. Someone has to say no more and she is leading that fight. (and as a bonus, I am very proud that she is "ours" - representing the interests and attitudes of the Bay Area)....
I don't want to wade too deep into this topic, but it has been interesting that Trump has not put an insulting nickname on Pelosi, unlike pretty much everybody else who disagrees with him.71Bear said:To the contrary, Speaker Pelosi understands how to use power to achieve results.

I'm telling you, once Nancy said she was praying for the president, she has owned him. Something about that unnerved him.
