After Democrats lost the Georgia special election (and, you know, every other special election this year) there's a lot of talk about whether House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi should step down from her Democratic leadership role.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) confronted her critics — both Republicans and Democrats — on Thursday after Democratic losses in Tuesday’s House special elections brought new scrutiny to her leadership and fresh calls for her to step aside lest she drag down her party’s candidates in the 2018 midterms.
