(7,142 posts)they hate her with a passion because she is one of the best Speakers that Democrats have ever had.
This move to the right crowd reminds me of Democrats who ran to the right in 2016, who ran against Obamacare. How did that work out? In 2018 Democrats embraced Obamacare and look what happened.
Hey gang of 16 or how ever many you are, it isn't good enough to just say "we need new blood," we need some reasons. Jim Clyburn is going to get reelected Whip if that's your worry.
Years ago Democrats should have elected Jack Murtha over Steny Hoyer for Majority Leader, IMO. It turns out it didn't matter, they killed Murtha, nicked an artery during a routine gall bladder operation. I like Steny but if it's new blood we need, here's a good spot, put someone new in as Majority Leader.
Think about this people. Republicans demonized Obamacare because they knew eventually it would catch on and become popular. It became so popular that it was one of the main talking points for our blue wave. Remember this, Nancy Pelosi passed Obamacare with a public option in it, imagine if Joe Lieberman had not sabotaged the public option in the Senate where we would be with Obamacare.
Republicans have demonized the name Nancy Pelosi just like they demonized Obamacare. People, especially Democrats, ignore them, there is no good reason to turn on Nancy just like there was no good reason to turn away from Obamacare, Republicans hate Nancy Pelosi because she is good at her job.
Go Nancy.
