Speaker Pelosi reminds me of the episode, Hammer into Anvil, from the British Series The Prisoner.

For those not familiar with the British series from the late sixties, without going into the intricacies of the series, let me just summarize how our hero (Speaker Pelosi), number 6, to cause the villain (Trump), number 2, to self-destruct, by taping into number 2's weakness:

"insecurity, paranoia, and conspiracy thinking"

1. Loved that show. It must have worked. Apparently, Leo McKern, the other actor

who played Number 2, had a mental breakdown while filming The Prisoner.

2. Leo McKern I believe was in three episodes of the series. The end of the episode I am referring to

was with the antagonist calling the authorities to have himself removed.

and that is how I view in a way what trump is doing. Just begging to be removed

5. With some of the observations by our compadres here at DU, and how the Speaker does not take any

guff from trump, I thought of this, and how things are playing out

It also highlights the republicans Achilles heal in my view. They have real problems dealing with powerful women.
