House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday fended off a challenge to her long leadership reign, defeating Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) in a closed-door vote prompted largely by Donald Trump’s unlikely ascension to the White House.
Ryan and his supporters had argued that the Democrats' grim performance in this year's elections — the latest in a string of cycles planting Republicans firmly in the majority — was a clear signal that Pelosi's leadership strategy has failed to attract the broad coalition of voters required to return the Speaker's gavel to the Democrats' hands.

That's okay, let her be the face of the Democrat Party, it's not like Zell Miller or Scoop Jackson is in line to take her place.

Let the moonbattery continue to flow. That’s what the country wants - more crazy.
To: Paleo Pete
This is perfect! This along with the future appointment of Keith Ellison to DNC chair signals the Dems will proceed down the path of utter destruction, doing even more of what got them rejected in 2016.

No no, this is great news!!! This proves that the libtards have learned nothing from the @ss-whipping they got on November 8th. They’re going to keep doing the same stupid things that they’ve done since 2008 and they will lose even more seats in the House in 2018.
Congratulations, Nasty Pelosi!! Just keep on doing your arrogant socialist B.S., you’re going to bury your loser party even deeper.
And lets all root for Keith “X” Ellison as the new DNC chairman, what a great choice LMAO!!!
