Despite Republicans expanding their majority in the House by more than 10 seats, retaking control of the Senate and increasing their strength in state legislatures, Nancy Pelosi denies the midterm elections were a Republican wave.
"I do not believe what happened the other night is a wave," Pelosi told Politico.
"There was no wave of approval for the Republicans. I wish them congratulations, they won the election, but there was no wave of approval for anybody. There was an ebbing, an ebb tide, for us."
Republicans increased their majority to 53 seats in the Senate this morning when the Republican Dan Sullivan was declared the victor in Alaska.
The final Senate contest will be decided in a runoff on Dec. 6 between Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu and Republican challenger Bill Cassidy.
Pelosi told Politico that the problem is not with the Democratic message or their priorities, but in a failure to engage voters.
"Next year has to be the year to expand the universe of people who vote. I'm concerned that eligible voters did not vote in the election this year," Pelosi told Democratic members, according to The Hill.
"We have the magic and the resources to have massive voter registration over the country — not just places that might benefit the Democrats," she added.
Some Democrats, however, believe it was not the turnout but the message that was the problem.
New Jersey Democratic Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. said Democrats would not win if they continued talking about Pelosi’s favored "When Women Succeed, America Succeeds" agenda.
"Where the hell were the Democrats? What were we talking about?" he told the Bergen County Record. "We’re losing white men. Why are we not talking about that? Why are we always concerned with what’s the politically correct thing to say?"

‘And I’m not crazier than a sh*thouse coon.’
What does she mean we have the magic and the resources?? We have the magic??? What in the heck is she talking about?? Will anyone in the media ever ask her to clarify exactly what she is talking about????
Statements such as this do nothing to help the Democrats’ total lack of credibility.
I guess she stills thinks people believe what she says. Tsunami!
Well Nan got 83% of the vote in her district.
So for her, it was a “landslide”
It wasn’t a WAVE wave. The dim’s candyland just got lower than the water suddenly.
The media IS their magic.
2014 was 1st Tsunami, 2nd one comes in 2016.
Actually, she is right. This was a big time “ebbing” for the Dems because they really, really suck. The GOP just sucks less, and if they revert to rino status, they will have their turn going down the rat hole.
If she’s saying people didn’t vote for Republicans as much as they voted against Democrats, I agree. The Pubs offered nothing to vote for. People voted for them to stop Obama and his minions.
TRANSLATION: Amnesty Baby!
Just keep believing that, Nasty.
Dem magic = alien invasion.
THIS IS DE NILE. I'M SURE SHE'S IN THERE SOMEWHERE...........
Why people voted for the GOP is irrelevant.
It was a wave of rejection against the Obolas Administration, the one Nancys dimicrites have always supported whole heartedly.
Nancy’s right, but not in the way she intends: They weren’t a wave; they were a tide.
