(82,849 posts)Unlike the crew of the Pequod, Nancy Pelosi doesn't have to kowtow to Trump's madness. Her strategy, from what I've seen so far, is to traffic in facts and truth. We routinely kid around and indulge gallows humor in addressing Trump's inability to tell the truth or recognize facts, Pelosi can be very effective in sticking with facts and truth. When Trump starts gish-galloping off with some nutty tirade, Pelosi (a mother of five who's seen a tantrum or two in her day) can just wait calmly and blow the whole wall of lies away by insisting on coming back to reality.
The Republicans have been alarmingly unwilling to rein in Trump, and appallingly eager to accommodate his whims. Those days are over. Pelosi isn't going to go along to get along with the White House except on the basis of reality. This is very bad news for Trump.
