You can frost that cake any way you want to. DJT lost the House. Republicans lost the House. And rightly so, if you like checks and balances. For the next two years, nothing gets off the ground without Pelosis approval.
I don't know about that --- Pelosi didn't approve of Kavanaugh, and he's now Justice Kavanaugh, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg isn't feeling too well, I read. Pelosi didn't approve of the government shutting down, but it did and nothing she could do about it. Pelosi was packed and ready to go fly abroad on a military plane during the shutdown, and Trump stopped her and the whole delegation had to go home and unpack.
Pelosi looks pretty powerless to me.
