    So Demorats win a historic wave election in 2018. The upshot? Trump moves further to the right and Nancy Pelosi steers Dems towards the center. In effect, the leadership of both parties moves to the right. Coo, cool.https://twitter.com/_waleedshahid/status/1117569083418075137 …

    Nancy Pelosi: "By and large whatever orientation they came to Congress with, they know we have to hold the center. We have to go down the mainstream." 60 Minutes: "You have these wings. @AOC and her group on one side..." Pelosi: "That's like five people." pic.twitter.com/yxVQDiUxgu

        Republicans fear their base, Democrats despise theirs

        Just a suggestion-- Any political 'base' is a problem for the political system, so far as it means a group of people who are fixed in place and won't budge. Political ideas are important. Ideologies are dangerous.

        I think she's trying to say that the Democrats are the mainstream party...which is true! But you don't convey that point by alienating the most progressive members of the caucus.

        Pelosi often fails in her public rhetoric - this is certainly a case of that. She's not a good spokesperson for the party. But she's a good congressional leader, and I don't think Jeet's level of fretting is warranted.

        Trump has not the slightest idea what Right and Left mean. All he wants to know about is Me and Not Me.

        You might want to look at the ideological mix of the 2018 freshman house members. Pelosi knows her caucus and can count votes.

        All these people who think Nancy Pelosi doesn't understand politics don't understand politics.
