It is clear to anyone who has been through the agony of watching a loved one struggle with dementia that Nancy is in a well developed early stage. She exhibits many of the classic symptoms we have seen in those around us. Loss of vocabulary, loss of focus, strange shifts in topic in the middle of a comment or discussion.
I am torn. On one hand it can only help the conservative cause to keep Pelosi in full view of the nation as she deteriorates. As her party balks at removing her, mostly out of fear, I suspect. She is second only to the Clintons in having “embarrassing” information on her fellow Dems.
On the other hand, for the good of the nation, for the sake of her and her family, she needs to step down ASAP. The Dems need to install a moderate center left Speaker who is willing to place nation before personal and party power.
They won’t. In their fear of personal exposure and political damage to their party, they will take the short term path of leaving her in place. Hoping that her obvious dementia does not progress too quickly. Hoping that they can keep her in place until without too much damage until after the 2020 elections.
