Nancy San Fran NanPelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
has had a long run. At 77 -- and a multi-millionaire -- the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Democrat could ride off into the sunset.
But the former Speaker of the House said Sunday she's not going anywhere.
"Self-promotion is a terrible thing, but somebody has to do it," Pelosi said on Fox News Sunday. "I am a master politician. I know the budget to the nth degree."
There have been rumblings that Democrats want to replace its aging leadership before the 2018 mid-term elections. Right now, there is no leader of the party, with
Hillary Clinton... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as
the smartest woman in the world,usually described by the rest of us as a crook...
gone and Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
-- even older than Pelosi -- on the sidelines.
There have been a few coup attempts, but none that reached critical mass. Still, things have gotten worse for Democrats who have lost all four special elections this year and are struggling to find a message that resonates with working-class Americans.
