"The Squad" and the rest of the Socialist Contingent, with the usual impatience of such newbies and a complete lack of regard for nuance, are probably chaffing at the bit to get the "old guard" out of the way. They'll continue to be a divisive influence in the Democratic Party because such fanatics always believe that most people think like they do and can't fathom anyone thinking differently.

Between now and the elections, watch them screw the pooch even more for the Democrats, adding mightily to Pelosi's headaches.

Swing voters will see nothing but a mess where the Democratic Party used to be.

Even James Carville has said that he sees the possibility of the Democratic Party meeting the same disaster suffered by the British Labour Party in December, for the same reasons.

Even a stalwart like Pelosi probably wouldn't survive that, especially since she seems to be losing her wits and, if the over-imbibing stories are true, she might be better off "taking one for the team" and simply not running for reelection.

She's made all her graft and corruption money and had a good run as the most powerful woman in the history of the U.S. Congress, but now she's met her match in the form of President Trump -- she may as well get out without enduring the pain of further "mishap."
