Yesterday Nancy Pelosi announced that she would not be the democratic leader of the house. We already knew that she would not be the Speaker of the House because democrats lost their majority, but she could have stayed as the party leader. I guess she just a sore loser. If she can not have all she wants none. T
To fall from the top to the actual bottom must be traumatic, primarily to a person who was used to be the commander of all politics. She will have to give up all the perks her office made her be entitled to and also move from the luxurious Speaker's suite to an ordinary representative's office. I wonder if she will be doing her own packing and moving?
Why stay in congress? She is 82 years old, isn't time to go home and be with family? Or is it still necessary to hang on to her remnants of power? It is not easy on day to be on top of the political hierarchy and at the bottom the next. But she will have to get used to it.
Politics is a dirty game. It makes strange bedfellows. It is very similar to professional wrestling. They roar, they scream and slam each other left and right. But it is all rehearsed. Every move they make is carefully choreographed. And the same happens in the halls of congress. The only difference is that the wrestlers dress funny.
