No question which party had the best leader.

President Trump and the GOP in 2018 decided to make then-House minority leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) the face of the Democratic Party. It played to their anti-elite, anti-urban and, yes, anti-woman message directed at their base. She and Democrats triumphed in the midterms, and now Republicans might be a tad envious of a party leader whose party isn’t afraid to let out in polite company.

The latest Quinnipiac poll shows, “American voters trust House Speaker Nancy Pelosi more than President Donald Trump, 49 – 42 percent ‘on issues that are important to you.’ . . . Independent voters trust Pelosi more than President Trump 49 – 36 percent.” There is a substantial gender gap, with men preferring Trump by a small margin, and women preferring Pelosi 54-37 percent. Trump has over 80 percent backing from his party; Pelosi has over 90 percent.

Judging from this and the president’s nose-dive during the shutdown, he might want to avoid tangling with Pelosi, at least in the short term. There really is no good news here for Republicans:
