A couple of points Carla.

That whack-job that hammered Paul Pelosi was hardly a political figure. A homeless, Canadian, nudist, living in some sort of storage container. Certainly not a "conservative", nor a "liberal" for that matter; just a sick guy needing help.

According to investigators, apparently Nancy was not the only one on his list of political targets; or so he claimed.

It would have been horrible if Nancy had been home and ultimately confronted by this insane dude; no matter what the outcome.

Nancy is third in line for the presidency; unless you meant to skip Kamala.

I agree that sick political barbs have been thrown around DC way to much. Nancy is not without her contributions. One example was when she labeled all of the Republicans in Congress as "enemies of the state". (25 August 2020)

Regarding the outcomes of the mid-term elections. Let's see how it goes and how both sides react. Some will win and some will lose. That's called Democracy.
