For Nancy Pelosi to be named speaker of the house? I follow politics from a distance so please forgive my ignorance.

Have they made a pact with each other to agree to work together and pass some mutually agreed upon agenda.

I just don’t understand it. He must be throwing the Establishment a bone, but it is a trick he fell into. Rule of thumb- Never cross the isle with the left. They will never accept him

Because he knows Pelosi will be fricking terrible, knows she will motivate Republicans, and have campaign material to run against in 2020

For the same reason “fails” videos are popular on YouTube.

To Trump, having Pelosi as the face of the opposition for the next two years will be like fish in a barrel.

Anything attached to Trump, they hate...

Will make their heads explode if Nancy aligns with him and away from Chuckie.

Also the DoJ is still stacking paperwork...?

Plus, the way the Democratic Party is structured now, Pelosi is relatively middle of the road. As hard as it is to believe there are a lot of dingbats in that party that would be much harder to deal with.

For Nancy Pelosi
Reverse psychology?

1. Dems hate Trump
2. Trump supports Pelosi
3. Dems hate Pelosi

They will agree to nothing. Nancy Pelosi is going to endless investigate atrump hoping to find justification to hold impeachment hearings.

That’s the agenda.

She will not be effective because this new wave of largely minority and female democrats do not want a wealthy old white woman leading them. They will self destruct.

Pelosi as bad as she is, is far from the most radical of the Dems. Maybe 15 years ago she was, but not anymore. This new crop of Dems makes her look like Strom Thurmond.

He’s not crossing the aisle. He’d rather face Floppy Dentures than some other more effective dim speaker who knows how to effectively apply Polident.

Trump is guaranteeing she doesn't get it and splitting the dems in the process.
