I will be slammed for this, I know [View all]

I have been a DU member almost since its inception. I don’t post often because I rarely have anything to add to the normally excellent discussions. However, I believe this is important. Joe Biden has been the best president in my 71 years for America and the middle class. And he did it with the slimmest majority or even a minority in one House. One of the people responsible for his success was Speaker Pelosi. Nancy was steadfast in her support, worked doggedly to get his agenda passed. What made Nancy one of the best, if not the best Speaker in my lifetime, is she could count votes. And right now she’s counting and doesn’t see Joe winning. Nancy stepped down from leadership, and has been the strongest supporter of President Biden. If she honestly doesn’t believe he has a good chance of winning, it gives me serious pause. She is the one person I would trust and listen to here. I will vote for Joe, if he’s on the ballot, but I also trust Nancy’s knowledge and instincts. OK. Feel free to flame away.
