Honestly, with Boehner stepping down and all the turmoil within the Republican Party in the US House of Representatives, wouldn't this be a great time for Nancy Pelosi to step down as minority leader and shepherd in a whole new wave of leadership?

Yes. I completely agree.
We need term limits and do get rid of all carrier politicians. Both parties represent campaign contributors. We have no leaders.
The priority of politicians is increasing the profit margin of campaign contributors and maintaining power. Not the U.S., our prosperity, economy, quality of life, health, welfare or security.

No. We need at least one adult in the room.

She’ll step down after Hillary is inaugurated.

@elbanditoroso – I think you spelled “President Sanders” incorrectly.

No, and here is why; the Democratic party is not so divided that Pelosi cannot competently represent the majority of those that a party leader is expected to represent. The fact that that is true despite her diviseness should tell you how bad off the Republican party is.

As for her age, remember that Congress-critters have the best healthcare our nation has to offer. If you are implying that our medical system isn’t good enough to keep those that can afford the best healthy and spry into at least their 80s then I think we need to open another discussion about how our healthcare system lags behind the rest of the industrialized world. I think that she will retire when her age starts causing health issues serious enough to affect her ability to do her job.

No.
Why throw the Democrats into turmoil right when they are showing that they are the sane party. Not to mention that Pelosi works very hard to get contributions to her members.

And she was a polarizing figure for the same reason Obama is now. That thing about both political parties being at fault is a slick trick. It might be literally true, but it’s a ruse because it implies they are EQUALLY at fault. And that just plain is not the case. Pelosi and Obama are polarizing figures strictly because they are Democrats. End of story. It won’t make a nickel’s worth of difference who replaces either Obama or Pelosi. And to prove just how bad things are on the Republican side of the street, THEIR OWN SPEAKER is a polarizing figure to a growing crowd of Ayn Rand devotees determined to tear it all down.

@filmfann I’m just remembering a time when the Democrats were considered the “insane clown” party and the Republicans were seen as the upright, suit-and-tie “sane” party. My how the tables have turned…
