NANCY PELOSI GOING FORWARD

Fight off hyped-but-doomed efforts to replace her as speaker; try to figure out (really and truly) why Democrats lost House seats rather than gained them;
gently suggest to the progressive members of her caucus that they didn’t fall short as a party because they ran as too centrist and to the moderate members of her caucus that they didn’t fall short as a party because they ran as too liberal;
recalibrate everything she was thinking about the lame duck and the first 100 days (including on pandemic relief legislation); wonder if two (or four) more years of dealing with Mitch McConnell is her dream job;
and take stock of how divided the country remains, with almost half of Americans, more than half of Floridians, and many Obama-Obama-Trump counties supporting a man who she thinks is unworthy and whose far fuller repudiation she thought was required to cleanse the nation’s soul
