A Quote by Nancy Pelosi
I do think that our democracy is so great, we can withstand even a candidacy of Donald Trump. And when we emerge from this, it has to be respecting the position of those who supported him, addressing the anger and anxiety that they have, and, again, bringing the country together, which was always the purpose of our founders, a more perfect union.

I understand the anger Americans feel today.

Back when Donald Trump was just starting in the primaries, and I was asked, 'What do you think of Trump?'

But when the primaries are over, Donald Trump will be gone.'

That is not respecting our democracy, using the State Department as a concierge for foreign donations, not really respecting our American democracy.
It's very important to face the grief, face the anger, and then get into a place where you are ready to fight because if you go back to the history of the United States of America, our Founders said we're giving you a Republic if you can keep it, and they also said we have a Constitution and we're going to form a more perfect union.

What people don't realize about Donald Trump - and I don't even know if Donald Trump realizes it - is that every tweet he unleashes against you - and maybe this isn't true for everyone, but in my case it certainly was - creates such a crescendo of anger and, in my case, again, threatening behavior that it would send my life into lockdown.
