Over the last 10 months we have seen Speaker Nancy Pelosi struggle with keeping her caucus in check.
Even though she can't control her caucus - or the very chamber she oversees - Nancy has a word of advice for the 2020 Democrats: even though the base loves the candidates' progressive views, those views are too fringe for a Democrat to beat President Donald Trump in the general election.
"What works in San Francisco does not necessarily work in Michigan," Pelosi told Bloomberg News on Friday.
Pelosi believes it's a mistake for the 2020 Democrats to focus only on courting their very base of hardcore progressives instead of focusing on middle-of-the-road, moderate and independent voters that are needed to take back the White House next year.
"As a left-wing San Francisco liberal I can say to these people: What are you thinking?" Pelosi said.
Medicare For All isn't the only issue Pelosi worries about.
"We cannot just keep increasing the debt," Pelosi said.
