Nancy Pelosi is the chief villain of Republican campaign ads. The leader some Democrats promise to vote against. The subject of much speculation that her grip on power is coming to an end.

Nevertheless, she says she’s not going anywhere — and certainly not while President Donald Trump is in the White House.

“This is not anything to make a big fuss over, it’s politics,” Pelosi said in a 35-minute phone interview with The Associated Press. “I can take the heat and that’s why I stay in the kitchen.”

Pushing back on those who say her leadership position is in jeopardy, Pelosi all but dared her doubters to envision any other House Democrat sitting across the table to negotiate with Trump.

“I have a following in the country that’s unsurpassed by anybody, unless they’re running for president,” Pelosi said. […]

Yet Pelosi’s return to the speakership, if Democrats triumph, is far from assured.

Dozens of Democrats — candidates and a few lawmakers — are saying they may not back her, creating an unprecedented groundswell for new leadership. …

“I have a following in the country that’s unsurpassed by anybody, unless they’re running for president...

Hallucinations, perhaps?

Dementia, maybe drugs or alcohol?

Every pro-Pelosi article of this tenor should be required to begin with "78-year-old Nancy Pelosi."

DEMentia. Even the younger DEMs suffer from it.

“I have a following in the country that’s unsurpassed by anybody, unless they’re running for president,” Pelosi said, over and over, to everyone passing by her chair in the dementia ward.

Stay, Nancy, Stay! You are the Democrats’ gift to Republicans, conservatives, sane moderates and independents, a political psychologists.

You’re a smart political player, Nancy. I’ve got to give that to you, but now you’re working for us and we appreciate your sheer arrogance, your criminal behavior re real estate where you live, your blind drive for power like any leftist wannabe dictator, and your blatant stupidity.

As Dean Wormer would say, “Being arrogant, a criminal and a fascist in making is no way to go through life, lady”.

Your brother, the mayor of Baltimore, was a coward and destroyed a nice city. You, on the other hand, are a traitor and want to destroy America.

Stick around for another year or so before you croak. I want you to see one of two options for the future:

Trump and the Republicans survive your coup attempts and crush the Democrats politically, or your people win and cause a new American Civil War that will destroy you forever.

I want the first, but am prepared for the second scenario, and so are millions of other American patriots, more than you’ll ever know.
