She may not be universally well-liked among the dems and yes she is long in the tooth but she got things done and was a very strong majority leader. No one wnts the job so with their tails between their legs the 20 Dem sighed the letter are apparently capitulating. Bad move not to know they didn't have the votes. Pelosi ALWAYS knows the count that she can count on before she puts her neck on the line. Paul Ryan wasn't suitable for the job and you see what happened. But to his credit he did not want or seek the job. It was forced on him so whose fault is that?
