I doubt she really comprehends what’s going on.

I doubt she really comprehends what’s going on.

Probably not. She's a dinosaur, an old-fashioned, machine-politician Democrat. Her demographic has no place in today's Democrat party. Show me virtually any other rich, hetero Italian-Catholic grandma in America, and I'll show a Trump supporter. You almost have to give her credit for hanging on to power in a party she has no business running. I understand how she does it. She's a great fundraiser and has been able to buy support, but the "Justice Democrats" (Young Turks, Sanders supporters et al.) are building an alternative power structure that will eventually displace her. It's inevitable. They've installed puppets like AOC and the Muslim chicks, and it's just the beginning. They're in tune with the new Dem base in ways that that Pelosi can never and will never be (nonwhite, immigrant, Communist, LGBT etc.)

I think you are right.

She knows she has that gavel and she runs the place, sort of. She doesn't have a clue.

Watching the dems implode will be fun.
