Claiming to fear Trump, Nancy Pelosi lets the cat out of the bag about her real fear: Her own party

Orange man bad, orange man scary.  Orange man will steal your election if it's close.

So goes the bluster Democratic House speaker Nancy Pelosi had for her fellow Democrats, revealed in the press, urging them to focus on staying in the center.

The press, of course, focused on the supposed Trump threat — here, here, here, and here, as did Glenn Thrush in his original New York Times report that is being cited:

WASHINGTON — Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not believe President Trump can be removed through impeachment — the only way to do it, she said this week, is to defeat him in 2020 by a margin so "big" he cannot challenge the legitimacy of a Democratic victory.

"We have to inoculate against that, we have to be prepared for that," Ms. Pelosi said during an interview at the Capitol on Wednesday as she discussed her concern that Mr. Trump would not give up power voluntarily if he lost re-election by a slim margin next year.
