Interesting observation from Playbook: "ONE OF PELOSI'S skills is grinding down the opposition. Whether it was lawmakers in 2009 and 2010 agitating for the public option in health care reform...Pelosi is patient, and is able to bring people to her side."
Trump also grinds down the opposition, but not through patient strategy and selling - he overwhelms, attacks and exhausts his opponents/critics. But the basic goal by both is the same.
Pelosi has a lot of leverage right now, Trump has little. But he has only one consistent approach, which is doubling down, whether it is wise for him or not.
