pelsoi: well, he is popular among his group. francine: are you surprised at how popular he is? rep. pelosi: surprised is not a word i use. it is interesting to see how there is a certain element of the population who will just go for him. they are people we would probably never get. they don't share respect for our values of the dignity and worth of every person and the rest, but there are some supporting and who are just afraid. and that is to be respected, so i respect all the people of america and when people ask me are you afraid of what might happen? i say no because of the goodness of the american people, the strength of our democracy. we will prevail. my motto is the flag is still there, as we say in our national anthem. francine: is there a republican presidential candidate that you could live with? rep. pelosi: i'm not into republicans. i'm into democrats. hopefully, the republican party can find a candidate that america can live with. i say to the republicans all the time, take back your party. the republican party is a great party. it has done great things for the country
