Nancy Pelosi As a Pundit

Here's a headline from the NY Times today:

Pelosi: We Lost the Election, But We've Won Every Fight Since
 
It's an interesting claim coming from Nancy.  It's worth investigating.  Here are a few of the statistics:
 
1.  Special elections for Congress:  GOP won 4, Democrats 0.
2.  Nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.  GOP won and Democrats lost.
3.  Nominations by President Trump:  Every vote in the Senate has resulted in confirmation of the Trump appointee.  One nominee withdrew before a vote.  Overwhelming GOP victory.
4.  Rescinding unnecessary Obama era regulations.  Congress voted to roll back 16 sets of regulations.  Once, the Democrats won and kept the regulations in place.
5.  Ending of DAPA and DACA and enforcement of immigration laws:  GOP/Trump won every fight.
6.  Repeal of Obamacare:  GOP passed bill in House but has not yet voted in the senate.  Democrats won so far.
 
So the Democrats won so far on Obamacare and also won one out of 17 votes on repealing certain regulations.  They lost on every other issue and political race.  This makes me wonder; is Pelosi on drugs?
