i agree, pelosi (and others) are only competent to run their party slowly into the ground. perhaps not so slowly. as the leadership of the party of the jackass retreats ever leftward, they distance themselves more and more from the political center of gravity. they seem not to be aware of this, nor to understand the probable consequences. i guess to them it looks like standing on their principles. from the outside, it looks a lot like a death spiral.
the only centrists they have (had) were the clinton faction – god help us!
if this continues, sooner or later a viable third party will emerge. the big question, imo, is will it be sooner? or later?
