Pelosi

Trump is touting Pelosi for speaker and many say he is just trying to keep her out of the job and that likely is the case but there is another possibility. The newly elected Democrats are left leaning and will not be willing to compromise and if they get control there will be gridlock since they cannot pass any legislation without the senate and even then Trump could veto. Perhaps Trump realizes that his best chance for getting anything done is to work with Pelosi who would like to leave a legacy of accomplishments. She knows that the Dems were elected on the promise to fix health care and there is no chance of that without help from Trump. If two more years go by without a healthcare fix the Dems may suffer in 2020
