In 2016, then-Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California was looking forward to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's ascension to the White House.
In "Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and the Lessons of Power," an upcoming book about Pelosi's life , Pelosi described how Clinton winning the election would have secured hard-fought legislative victories, including the Affordable Care Act.
Pelosi, then 76, saw herself spending time with her nine grandchildren and enjoying her retirement years.
But then Donald Trump won the presidency , throwing Pelosi's plans into chaos.
Pelosi expressed that she was "horrified" by Trump's win and felt "physical" pain, saying it was "like a mule kicking you in the back over and over again."
Not only did Trump win, but Republicans retained their House and Senate majorities, leaving Democrats out of power in Congress.
Pelosi, who had led the House Democratic conference since 2003 and served as Speaker from 2007 to 2011, found herself faced with the prospect of another two years in the minority and without a legislative partner in the White House.
While Pelosi was upset that a woman would not occupy the White House, she thought it was "scary" that Trump could have been elected in the first place.
"How could they elect such a person - who talked that way about women, who was so crude and … to me, creepy."
Pelosi believed that Trump was "unfit" to sit in the Oval Office, and by the end of that Election night, she knew that her time in leadership would not come to an end, aware of the political turbulence ahead.

It’s all about Nasty.
No one else exists except her.
Drunk and senile is no way to go through life, you botoxed old bag.
Sounds like she speaks from experience.
Too bad she didn’t croak, it would have been her greatest contribution to the country.
Whatta Whiney Weeotch.
Good.
I’d say the mule stopped before his job was done.
Never fear, Nanz! Any little "leaks", Johnny boy here has got you covered!!
The mule wasn’t kicking her...
“How could they elect such a person - who talked that way about women, who was so crude and … to me, creepy.”
Trump merely talked about gold diggers coming on to celebrities, “They LET you do anything” he said which means consensual.
Hillary on the other hand enabled and protected rapists. Last time I checked, rape is non-consensual but Nancy has no issue with Hillary right?
Nancy, men and women create conversational paradigms based on THEIR behavior, not on how they THINK someone should talk about them or address them. Have you not learned that yet?
Good. Message received as intended then.
A kick in the head is supposed to leave your bells a-ringing; Madame Super-Deluxe Ice Cream Freezer.
Hey, Nancy! Hillary lost! LOL!
Nazi continues to be an existential threat to the US.
That’s the American people kicking you, you craven witch.
If you say so, Nanzi.
I won’t tell her what Biden STEALING the election felt like, I would be banned from FR!!!
Keep on kickin,keep on kickin
