My Take
Nancy Pelosi is one of the few politicians I assess purely as a craftsman, regardless of ideology. Vote-counting, caucus discipline, timing a confrontation to the minute: she practiced legislative power as a technical skill, and her two separate runs with the Speaker's gavel prove the method traveled across eras. Born in Baltimore to a political family, she absorbed retail politics young and never romanticized it. What strikes me are the decorations from Italy, Ukraine, and Taiwan, evidence her influence read clearly abroad and not just in Washington. Love her or loathe her, opponents ended up studying her playbook, and durability like that is never an accident.
