Pro: Talented and experienced cat herder who always managed to get the votes for Obama’s programs; successful electoral and legislative tactician who masterminded the Democrats’ victory in 2018.
Con: Often caricatured successfully by Republicans as a San Francisco limousine liberal who is completely out of touch with average people and threatens men; not great on TV.
The solution: Split the job, either temporally or functionally. If the former, have her retire after one more year of acting as Speaker; by then, the candidates for president will be delivering the party’s message. If the latter, let her do the inside stuff, and leave the PR to someone new.
