David Axelrod asked Pelosi when she was retiring

and her response was, "How many men have you asked that question to?". He said, "None" and her point was that this is a question that women in politics get asked much more often than men. It was a good interview. She is the polar opposite of Ryan. I wish I could copy it.

Instead of defend, she went on the attack. An aggressive reaction. It throws many off guard.

And never had to answer the question as well.

Her and Bill's foundation does more for people in one day than any 200 of us combined will do in our lifetimes.

More in one day than trump or his entire family in ten lifetimes.

Trump over 1200 lies so far this year, Hillary none in 50 years.

I totally admire her but her answer to the question about the rust belt and all the signs he saw for Trump was not satisfactory. I wish she had a better answer - a less Washington answer - for that one.
