I doubt the Pelosi machine eats her alive. Nancy Pelosi is pushing 80, and she's always been good at knowing which direction the tides were turning. Remember that comment she made about being a "transitional figure"? The woman's smart. She's going to get to choose her successor, and in so doing control the Democratic platform for much longer than she's got left. Unless she's a vampire. Which she might be.

So, basically, I anticipate Pelosi choosing someone from the Ocasio-Cortez School of Socialism for Dummies. Maybe not Ocasio-Cortez herself given the age issue, but someone along those lines. She's greasing the skids to make sure that her agenda doesn't retire along with her, it just gets rolled into the democratic socialist one.

Which is the perfect method for retiring her agenda. Ocasio-Cortez made it into office for two reasons, and it ain't the persuasion of her politics.

1) Knee jerk TDS voting 
2) Joseph Crowley being completely complacent and failing to gauge said TDS  

Ocasio-Cortez is an ignorant clown who rode a zeitgeist train into Washington. Her activism makes her a target of the right and the left. She'll be marginalized and ignored by her own party apparatus because even they understand that socialism is a dirty word.
