The "Trump crisis" won't be over until the Republican Party undergoes a complete transformation. Trump is an effect, not a cause. If this is your litmus test, you'll be on the Pelosi for Speaker 2030 train.

She's not great on policy but boy oh boy is she great on tactical stuff.

I get the impression that this fact is coming as a surprise to a lot of people, and I can only assume they weren't paying attention in 2006. She's always been good at this.

This was obviously coming after yesterday's disastrous Senate votes. The reality is its all these things and more that were just racking up and showing Trump and GOP why this was such a very, very, very bad idea. And of course, the Democrats holding firm and not giving them any sign of hope.

I guess there's a lot of negative propaganda about her. Many people know pretty much nothing about the pre-Obama years.



So Trumps plan is to do a SOTU and declare a national emergency in the midst of it, right? Yeah, Pelosi wont let that happen.

It can be simultaneously true that:

(1) Pelosi is an incredibly effective leader and is exactly the right person, the most experienced person, to lead the Democrats against Trump right now. Today is a perfect demonstration -- she has been savvy enough to break his loving back over his absolute core, most important, non-negotiable issue.

(2) Pelosi deserves criticism for
- not having done enough to cultivate young Democrats and grow a deep bench of talented, popular politicians both in Congress and all the way down to your local dog catcher.
- Being too centrist, and cultivating a very Middle Of The Road Very Serious Business Dems party which has found itself manifestly unprepared to deal with neofascist populism
- she (and the entire party, until recently) tried to fight "we're gonna crack skulls open and bleed out everyone you hate, and we're gonna do it on live TV!" with mealy mouthed "A better way -- affordable healthcare, in reach of more people" bullshit.

Pelosi is goddamn loving good at her job and is probably the single best equipped person in the United States to walk Trump into boobytrap after boobytrap. I am glad she is speaker. And the absolute loving second the Trump crisis is over, she should retire with fanfare and get the gently caress out of the way of a new leftist democratic party.

After Trump is out, she should start grooming a new speaker, but we shouldn't trade our most effective leader for someone who has better policies. As long as she doesn't get in the way of support for those policies, she's fine.

If things get worse, hopefully I'll swallow my pride before things get Too Bad, but for right now I can still live in denial. It turns out the storefront below me got a little water when a pipe broke under my apartment so there's a tiny bit of water on my bathroom floor and my landlord's just regular-crazy so that's fine
