It's weird to speak of Miss Nancy as smart and sane, but in the context of the House Dems and the Dem Party, that's what she is currently being. Even she realizes she has to try to save House Dems from themselves.
As an-off-topic example, her "neighbor" Jackie Speier boasted recently about having had abortions. I'm sure that played well in Speier's deep blue district. I wonder, though, what she might have heard from some Dem Reps in more competitive districts, especially in Georgia and Alabama.
