In 2006 the Dems won the house in the sixth year of the Bush administration, under a faltering economy and in the midst of an unpopular war. If you can't win in that situation you should quit politics and run quilting bee's. The victory, by the way, was engineered by future Obama CoS Rahm Emanuel. In 2010 she muscled Obamacare through and promptly lost the House.
This year she is hostage to AOC and The Squad. A skilled speaker would have smacked them down last spring. Pelosi let Adam Schiff convince her that leaker Eric Ciaramella could bring Trump down. Trump has outmaneuvered Pelosi and Schiff, starting by releasing the transcript which reader(s) know is perfect.
In the Senate, Mitch McConnell publicly wonders why Pelosi even thinks she has leverage here. While Pelosi and the House Dems and Impeachment implode, Cocaine Mitch confirms judges by the dozen. Now there's a master politician.
