I think this video of Nancy Pelosi shows that she does NOT have what it takes. Emotional or not, her statement was so vague, rambling, and incoherent that it took someone else to *translate* it, saying specifically what event she was referring to. Compare that to the concise, emotionally visceral statements given by the Republicans shown on this tape. What the Republicans said was *evil*, IMO--"There's a modern American political revolt happening for good reason [and so stoking the extreme fringes with heated rhetoric is OK, regardless of how it's fostered violence in the past"]." However, they delivered the message in one to two sentences that I could easily parse and understand. Pelosi needs to go, IMO. (At least from her leadership position.)
