What's so bad about Nancy Pelosi?

(1/29) > >>

nereo:
As the midterms are gearing up one of the central stategies of the GOP is to make every race about preventing 'Nancy Pelosi and her liberal agenda." Even among Dems there's an open discussion about whether she's a "burden" to the party, and every Dem is being asked whether they would vote for her as speaker, should they retake the majority.

I'm having a hard time understanding why Pelosi is so vilified. What, specifically, do people hate so much about her?
I've asked similar questions of my staunch conservative family members and they just give me this look as if I had asked what was so bad about Hitler, and they toss out words like "liberal" and "California" and then involuntarily shudder at the thought.

I know she was the first female speaker, and her gender factors in some, but it seems to be more than that.

I'm sort of a "middle of the road" voter, much less of a Republican than I used to be. I'm just kind of sick of Nancy Pelosi. I'm ready for some fresh, young "blood" in both parties. Nancy has simply been around wayyyyyyy too long for my taste. Too entrenched. Too old school. But I don't think that's why many people don't like her.

In what way is she too old school?  In trenched in what?  I am struggling to understand this as well.

Nothing is wrong with Nancy Pelosi, unless it’s the same thing that was wrong with Hillary.  Female, effective, ambitious, experienced politician.  I have no problem with someone who is qualified for the job, but some people label that “establishment” and prefer a novice for some reason.  I haven’t figured it out.

FIRE@50:
I don't have any problem with her specifically other than I don't like her personality. I don't know much about her stance on many issues.

I do support some more age discrimination as well as term limits in the federal government. She of course would get caught in that net.

Drain the swamp and stuff.
