Nancy Pelosi is on the path to become Speaker once again after next year's midterms. If she becomes Speaker once again and we defeat Donald Trump in 2020, I think she'll eventually resign on a high point, particularly if Democrats win the trifecta in 2020.
Right now, I have no doubt she is the best leader for the Democratic Party in the House. I don't think we can get anyone as progressive as her for leader for a long time. A lot of us on the left need to be realistic. We have a San Francisco liberal, once part of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, as the leader of our party in the House. What do you really think we're going to get if she stands down prematurely? Obviously, the answer is corporate Dem Steny Hoyer. Do you really think we're going to get another Bay Area liberal type as the next leader?
I actually don't like liberals all that much, and especially those from the Bay Area. Corporate types should be kept out too, but I don't like Pelosi for pretty straightforward reasons.
