You Know Who Impressed The Hell Out Of Me Today? Ayanna Pressley. Thanks, Trump!

[TrollBuster9090]

Thanks, Trump, for boosting the visibility of this very impressive Congresswoman. I'd like to see a lot more of her.

[BeyondGeography]

1. She's kind of like the Mom

Or the captain, the leader, whatever. Level-headed, tons of depth. Calling Trump the occupant was brilliant, and “don’t take the bait” was the main takeaway of the day, not just for the media, but for Democrats as well. She was awesome.

2. Yes she was. Level headed and a grown up speaking truth to child-like occupant of the WH.

[Ponietz]

4. +1 Don't take the bait! Consolidate!

[calimary]

9. I LOVED that!!! I call him something similar.

He’s the pResident because he does reside in OUR White House. He’s also a squatter there.

3. I may be flamed for saying this, but...

When Omar came on after Pressley, I didn't think much of her delivery. Then I watched her on Rachel and thought she did a good job. So was it that Pressley was so damned good with her calm demeanor buy forceful delivery that she eclipsed Omar?

Sorry, but I'm analyzing in terms of public speaking ability. I still appreciate and admire Omar.

5. She did a great job. They all did. I was inspired

[Sogo]

6. Agreed.

She was very impressive!

7. Pressley

Not being from MA, I don't know a lot about her, but from what I've read and seen, she may, in the end, be the one of the "Squad" that ultimately rises up to have the best career in politics. She's very impressive.

[BigmanPigman]

10. Agree!!!!!

8. The 4 Congresswomen's press conference was darn powerful!!

The sheer visual of 4 strong, powerful women of color was striking, and their message was loud and clear - the relentless, bigoted attacks on them by this corrupt, horrible thin-skinned Idiot is abhorrent, and that it's high time that Congress impeach him to restore the integrity and dignity of the office of POTUS.
I loved all their speeches, but AOC said it best: "This president doesn't know how to make policy, so he attacks people personally." That is all this very small, insecure man knows to do. We as a nation are so much better than him and his greed.

Most of all, these strong, valiant ladies said what Chuck & Nancy, and every Congress member should have done a long time ago:
doing their sworn duties as elected officials to hold this crook accountable, having the courage to stand up to his racism, lay bare who he really is and CALL FOR HIS IMPEACHMENT!!

I am hoping many other Dems and any Republicans with a conscience with join them and call for impeachment proceedings to start ASAP. We cannot have a president destroying our government, committing human rights abuses, usurping the highest office of the land to line his and his cronies' pockets, and blatantly making racist statements against his detractors.

11. She rocks. Brilliant, passionate, inspiring!

[diva77]

12. Absolutely brilliant! I hope she gets one of the high-visibility speech slots at Democratic

Convention.

[Gumboot]

13. Justice Dems are my squad!

Old cynical rural white guy here is whoopin' and a-hollerin' at this great speech!

I didn't know much about Rep. Pressley up until now, but I'm seriously impressed.

The party is in good hands, inspired by these four brilliant young women.

The kids are all right!

[Nitram]

14. Am I mistaken, or did I see OCT express impatience near the beginning of her speech?
