2. No, it's because he is afraid of her, and he s ass-kissing.

And threatening her at the same time.

4. Actually, I think he's just being his usual cynical transactional self.

He realizes, if dimly, that the House now has some power that he doesn't quite understand but that he needs to control somehow. And he knows only two ways to proceed: either by bullying and threats, or by sucking up and making his adversary think they can do a deal with him. I don't think he realizes that Pelosi can be neither bullied nor co-opted into one of his illusory deals.

6. I don't think he's saying that because he thinks we're stupid...

I think he’s saying that because he think his base is stupid. Nothing makes them froth and foam at the mouth more than Nancy Pelosi (except maybe Hillary Clinton).

7. No, he is saying something nice, but will start bashing her
