Nancy Pelosi is a rabid liberal.
The House Minority Speaker recently bolstered how “important” she was to government and how she’s a “target” for a very good reason.
But Nancy Pelosi’s career could finally be coming to an end.
Now, Pelosi’s own Democratic “allies” are completely sick of her.
The Democratic Party is done with her antics because under her reign, Democrats have lost over 1,000 seats in state legislatures, and we all know the rest federally.
She’s a complete and total failure.
But she has clout with the Democrats because of her fundraising prowess.
The Washington Times reports:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has weathered yet another round of calls for her ouster, but fellow House Democrats are beginning to look beyond her tenure and cast about for a list of successors.
While her two top lieutenants — Reps. Steny H. Hoyer, 78, and James E. Clyburn, 76 — have been waiting in the wings for a decade, some rank-and-file Democrats are eyeing a new generation of leaders to succeed Mrs. Pelosi, 77.
For now, Democrats say, that timing is entirely up to Mrs. Pelosi.
“I am not a big fan of matricide,” said Rep. Raul M. Grijalva of Arizona, co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
“I don’t believe we should be eating our own right now. Some people want to characterize Nancy as a millstone around the neck of the party and why we lost those elections. I don’t think that is accurate.”
Dissident voices rose last week after Democrats lost their fourth attempt this year to grab a Republican-held House seat in a special election.
Democrats had hoped anti-Trump sentiment and a massive infusion of liberal donors’ cash would win them one or two of the seats, albeit all in Republican-leaning districts. But they failed in all four, and Republican Party strategists said Mrs. Pelosi was a drag on the Democratic candidates.
Mrs. Pelosi, who has helmed the House Democrats since the end of 2002, delivered a fierce defense of her tenure last week, saying her legislative mastery and her spectacular fundraising make her ‘worth the trouble.’
“I think one of the standards that makes her highly appreciated in the Democratic caucus and across the country is how much she has done for others,” said Rep. Gerald E. Connolly of Virginia.
“There are some critics around here who really haven’t done much at all for anybody else. For that reason, I would say a certain respect has to be shown for her commitment, which has been tireless,” he said.
“At some point, obviously, Democrats are going to have to talk about the next generation of leaders, and we can have that conversation, but I don’t think we have it in the context of ‘Off with her head because we lost a special election in Georgia,’” Mr. Connolly said.
Whatever anti-Pelosi fervor there was dissipated when it became clear that no one else was ready to take over.
In behind-the-scenes conversations, Democrats suggest that House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joseph Crowley of New York, Vice Chairwoman Linda T. Sanchez of California or Hakeem S. Jeffries of New York, a co-chairman of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, could be in line for the job.
Others laughed at that list and said the party would be better off turning to a more seasoned hand such as Rep. Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland.
Still others said the party needs a progressive champion such as Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, who serves as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, or a firebrand like Rep. Cedric L. Richmond of Louisiana, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus.
But those lawmakers have signaled that they will remain loyal to Mrs. Pelosi, and Mr. Richmond said this week that the black caucus has her back.
“I think she has strong support within the CBC,” said Mr. Richmond, arguing that most Democrats are focused on stopping the health care bill that Republicans are trying to usher through Congress. “But it would be great to see the first African-American leader.”
Reps. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts and Kathleen M. Rice of New York have been among the most vocal supporters of a leadership change, but both have said they are not interested in running.
Mr. Moulton said this week that he believes lawmakers have a bigger appetite for change now than last year, when Mrs. Pelosi thwarted a challenge from Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio — retaining her post on a 134-63 vote.
Mr. Ryan has renewed his calls for a leadership rethink but said he is not interested in running against Mrs. Pelosi again.
“It is a continuing conversation, and what myself and Kathleen Rice and a few others have done is to provide a forum to have this discussion — a discussion that a lot of members want to have,” Mr. Moulton, Massachusetts Democrat, told The Washington Times.
“We have been approached by — I would say a surprised number of members of the caucus — in the past week saying we need to talk, we need to figure this out, because what we are doing clearly isn’t working,” he said.
Asked to name a possible successor to Mrs. Pelosi, Mr. Moulton smiled and walked away.
Meanwhile, Republicans from President Trump on down are giddy over the prospect of Mrs. Pelosi sticking around. They said they plan to make her central to their messaging in the midterm elections, just as they did in special election races.
Corry Bliss, executive director of the Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC aligned with House Republican leaders that spent $7 million in Georgia, said this week that his group will follow the same game plan for midterm elections next year.
“During the 2018 cycle, CLF will spend millions of dollars highlighting Nancy Pelosi’s toxic agenda and reminding voters across the country that Democratic candidates are nothing more than rubber stamps for her out-of-touch, liberal policies,” Mr. Bliss said in a memo.
And one can only wish that the liberals wake up from their dystopian fantasy long enough to kick this bag-of-bones Pelosi to the curb with the rest of the garbage where she belongs.
As Jeez Louise…For gosh sakes…Someone give her back her broom and let her fly the hell home…
Better yet…Take some of that excess skin she keeps stretching in her face lifts and use it as part of a slingshot and sling her ass home! I can’t believe she’d use $ to keep her chair. She is a mean, viscous old lady and it is time she gives her seat up for the benefit of her party, her state, and our country. GO HOME PELOSI..
The Double-Twit Twins. She and RINO McCain … wouldn’t they make a cute couple … she on her broom, flying over loony Califoony and he sitting on top of an Arizona cactus.
lol..too funny…
WELL SAID
These scumocrats will finally get it through their thick skulls that “fundraising” isn’t everything, and get rid of the “deadwood”, BUT I am hoping they keep her around until most or ALL of the corrupt scumocrats and rinos are voted OUT of congress. (a hefty “dream” but I guess it IS possible)
They failed to realize that those who voted for Trump weren’t about to lay down & let the Dims take away a Republican seat. They need to stop believing the fake polls put out by the MSM!
As a Republican I hope she stays in power at lest till 2031.
The democrats are so confused right now, and the DNC is very broke. Let’s see if they pick one of the people with a foul mouth, like Maxine Waters.
No more from the West Coast , we need some one from Middle America !
SHE BELONGS IN A STRAIGHT JACKET
I would like her to stay, she gives me one hell of a lot of laughs, listening to her stupidity.
Please tell her that Bush is no longer our President ! , but booze and old age are hard on your Brain !
Yesterday isn’t soon enough!
LOL She thinks she’s important?
Nancy please stay conservatives need you. You are also very funny and entertaining.
Pelosi demonstrated exactly how stupid with her remark on OBUMMERS Obamacare, by telling We the People that we would have to pass it to find out what was in it !!! , not only did it show how much of an IDIOT she is but since we had Obamacare there must have been a lot more of our Government that is suppose to be looking out for us . I am so glad we have a true American in office , hope he trims the dead weight like about half of the federal agencies that all do redundant work , we do not need the DEA , because the FBI has the authority to do that job too , the CIA operates in this country even though they are not suppose too , We are not only paying salary’s and benefits to unneeded people , but when is he going to stop Congress getting lifetime salerys and benefits even if they only serve one term ???
PELOSI? THE ONE FROM CALIFORNIA? THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS SHE IS IMPORTANT?
WHO THINKS HER OPINIONS MATTER? WHO BELIEVES SHE HAS GOOD JUDGEMENT? WHO THINKS SHE BENEFITS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? WHAT A LAUGH. I KNOW THAT DEMOCRATS LIKE HER HAVE JOHN F. KENNEDY SPINNING IN HIS GRAVE. THEY HAVE LEFT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY FOR LIBERAL-COMMUNISTIC POLICIES. DRIVING MANY VOTERS FROM THEIR PARTY. YET TOO DUMB TO RECOGNIZE WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
Fortunately we won’t have to put up with this obnoxious hag much longer. She has become senile and as dangerous as anyone in Congress, with her closest competition coming from Waters and Warren.
With McCain sliding in at second place.
We won’t have to pay her liquor bill anymore huh?
Hang in there folks. Pelosi, schumer, Maxine…. the whole bunch of them are the best advertisement for term limits legislation. They have all exceeded their “use by” dates.We might also want to really piss off the Democrats and advocate age limitations for holding public office… Gee everyone else has to retire at sixty-five. Isn’t that correct your honor? Vietnam Vet. We NEVER forget.
She has overstayed her welcome by an many years as she’s been in Congress. For her to say “no way” can she leave now because the White House, Senate and House are Republican, is nonsense. Thanks to her failed leadership that’s what happened and for her to now use that as an excuse to stick around is more of her nonsense. Go away, Nancy, your botox is making you crazy.
The ONLY reason they kept her around was the CA liberal money she brought into their coffers all the time…..
10 to 1 you give her a drug screening and she fails or some paid off quack doctor is writing her a prescription–no one in their right mind acts the way she does
This is good news.
ILOVE MAKING FUN OF YO YO NUMB BRAINS PELOSI. PLEASE LET HER STAY. SHES REAL GOOD FOR THE DEMOS. HER AN CHUCKIE CRYING BABY MIGHT GET LOCKED UP WITH EACH OTHER. HEHEHE
