Maureen Dowd: It’s Nancy Pelosi’s Parade - The New York Times

I’m feeling warmer toward Pelosi after reading this article; she’s less of a toady to Trump than I thought. She’s clearly trying to oppose Trump, implement a progressive agenda, while keeping the moderate Democrats – in other words, the big-money donors – on board.

Still, she needs to understand that Trump and the Republicans are the enemy; they are not the loyal opposition. Pelosi is a peacetime consigliere, not a wartime consigliere, and this is war.

And Dowd is Patient Zero for the epidemic of corporate executives who have become coopted by the institutions they’re supposed to cover.
