    No, Nancy cares more about power, aggrandizement and insider trading information.

    When she was House Speaker, I said she was the worst person in the Federal Government. My opinion has not changed. We shall agree to disagree.

    Ousted, by definition, is not playing semantics.
    Quit by definition is not ousted. Pressured perhaps, but not ousted.

    What was McCarthy guilty of? Besides being stupid and allowing a single member call for his ousting.

    What “insider trading” are you referring to ?

    There are have allegations that her husband was doing the trading the high tech industry in California for the couple. She and her husband are supposedly worth $120 million.He is an investment banker, so he's well placed to make all the trades from the information she might have.

    Some years ago, she got into real trouble of this, but got to skate. Since then her husband has managed their portfolio.
