Like it or not--and I think most of even my best pals here won't like it-I am pretty sure that the Pelosi and Hillary problems et. al. are going to get "solved" by them going away just like the political consultants are saying they should. Seems to me mostly everyone here at Dag invested a lot in 2016 and is still nursing grudges and resentments about that and hope to see it rectified,wounds that haven't healed  Due to unfortunate tragedy in my life, I couldn't get so involved in 2016, so I am more removed, didn't have such a dog in that fight

From that perspective, coming back after the election, I don't think that's the way it's going to work. I think it's going to work sorta more like this:

Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage--and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. 

 And people like Nancy and Hillary are going to have to go graciously into that good night. They are going to get axed by the new generation. I think so because I live with similar hitting me in the face every day, I am also being "axed" in my own field, a little early, a couple years before the appropriate time, because of circumstance. And meanwhile, seeing everyone in my network retire, fade away and die (I was often the youngest in the network)  and the youngsters are not impressed with whatever we did, good bad or inbetween. Life's unfair and you only get one chance. Maybe it will all be rectified in the history books, maybe it won't.

The old problems are going to go away. And the people that are associated with them through no fault of their own. I see now that that's the way it works. Nancy and Hillary and Dianne don't get to be reborn, they are part of the 70-yr. old Trump generation and the political consultants implying that they need to go are being brutally correct. I think it's going to be just like this campaign; 1992 New York Times

"What time is it?" he yells, echoing the rhetorical flourish he first used during his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. Waving his arms like an orchestra leader, he leads the crowd in a shouting, chanting denunciation of George Bush and Dan Quayle: "It's time for them to go!"

And then, after the slight pause of a speaker who knows how to connect with his audience, Gore moves to the meat of his message: "Do you have the courage to change?" he cries, punching the air as sweat pours off him. "You have to have the courage to change. You have to reach out for something different."

Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin this morning:

Hillary Clinton might've won the popular vote in the 2016 presidential election, but her party is ready to "move on to the next chapter in American history."

That's according to Democratic Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, a longtime Clinton champion and an ardent critic of President Donald Trump. Durbin, who serves as the Senate minority whip, was responding to comments Clinton made last week during a stop on her book tour in India, [....]

“No, it’s not helpful at all. In fact, my friend Hillary Clinton is wrong," Durbin said. He went on to argue that Trump's support came out of feelings of destitution among many Americans. "The same people who looked for change with President Obama thought there wasn’t enough as far as their personal lives were concerned and they supported Donald Trump. That is a reality that Democrats acknowledge," Durbin said.

Durbin also added that his party is looking for fresh blood in the upcoming 2018 and 2020 elections.

"It will be a different cast of characters completely," Durbin said.

Durbin endorsed Clinton’s 2016 run, and attended campaign and fundraising events [....]
