pelosi will be the speaker. a lot said she went in there and took on the president and looked like a grown up. >> i think the demise of nancy pelosi has been overblown, but she helped herself yesterday. i think the difference between this shutdown and the last shutdown, is let's not pretend donald trump had a strategy yesterday, and he got baited into this, and that's not good strategy to take the bait from schumer and pelosi. i don't think he understands the poll of republicans wanting to kick this down the road and go home for the holidays. they don't want to shut down the government. mcconnell doesn't, and i don't think paul ryan wants his last act as speaker of the house to shut down the government.
