(42,770 posts)(which has a disordinate number of supporters)love and respect her...but want someone new. Why that makes you a crazy traitor lunatic here is beyond me. Why in the world can't we have differing opinions. That gets so old.

who is already the leader and personally raised 49M that was distributed to candidates throughout the party which helped us to a huge victory.
She was the one who told candidates to run positive campaigns on healthcare, infrastructure and jobs and not to engage with arguing against trump and his insanity.
And speaking of that insanity, we certainly need her experience with the ins-and-outs of House procedural rules to guide the party as we now have the power to thwart trump's insanity.
I don't think those who want her out but don't have anyone even will to come forward to run against her are aware of the things I just mentioned.
Replacing her now is not smart.

(42,770 posts)we see things more clearly? Since we have to seek out, debate, and then analyze information in a vacuum?

(68,735 posts)Polls can be wrong. You shouldn't govern by polls anyway, and CNN and others love to push this narrative.

(42,770 posts)In all my years here
If we don't like poll results...it's a bogus poll. If we like results...poll credibility not a factor.
Demsrule86
(68,735 posts)it is very difficult to poll these days as many don't answer calls if they don't recognize the number...the internal polls for some Ohio campaigns attempted contact with thousands of voters and got a handful of mostly older voters. This is being played out all over the country.
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)Be skeptical of polls that favor our viewpoints too.
Demsrule86
(68,735 posts)for a Democrat...I take all polls with a grain of salt...but if a poll goes against the Democrat or common sense than I look.

The Repub party just got anal probed in public, perhaps their opinions don't fucking matter.

(5,914 posts)At least 60% of Republicans would be against ANY Democrat being Speaker of the House, so who gives a shit what they think.

(51,226 posts)I responded to them with this.
Why is Politico even polling republican voters? Republican voters don't get to vote. Maybe there should be a poll asking if Politico is fake news?

(19,890 posts)for Pelosi" BS. One of them fell in his "your constituents voted for you to vote against her". The other one said she still needed to speak with Pelosi and whoever else was running against here before she would make her decision.
