      Some people say you can’t reason with Republicans but can pressure Democrats. Making Pelosi the figurehead of this puts pressure on Democrats to change.

      Republican voters just elected a felon. They do not and will not care about some insider trading so long as it’s the correct team doing it. Some Democrat voters might care about insider trading.
