I’ve been a Pelosi loyalist for a long time and this is exactly why we need her leadership for the next two years. She really is that good. She knows how to get her votes in line and squash her opposition. Pelosi was one of the most powerful Speakers we’ve ever had. If we win the White House and Senate in 2020, I’d really like to see her as Speaker for at least the first year to move through priority legislation. I don’t know anyone who can match her skills.
It looks like I was right and then some. If Democrats retain the House in 2020, it looks like Pelosi will be the Speaker for long than some may have thought. If Democrats get the trifecta in 2020, Speaker Pelosi will be setting her legacy as she retires on top. Boehner and Ryan will be footnotes in history. No one will be saying the same of Pelosi (even if she weren’t the first female Speaker, let alone the first Speaker to return in over 60 years).
