Who is he talking about?

I am having trouble understanding the December 1, 2016, political cartoon by Nick Anderson. It features Nancy Pelosi. You remember her. She is the one who shepherded the Democratic Caucus through the House during the first two years of the Obama administration when more progressive legislation was enacted than in any Congress since the 60s. Anderson would have us believe she represented “more of the same” at a time when America wanted change. Can someone tell Mr. Anderson that it was Hillary Clinton campaigning for president, not Nancy Pelosi? Actually, Pelosi would probably have garnered more positive, and certainly less negative, response than Clinton. Bottom line: Nancy Pelosi knows how to get legislation through Congress and is probably the only person, man or woman, in America who knows how to do so. This might be why the Republicans hate her so very much.
