House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is under fire after Democratic candidates lost four special elections to replace lawmakers selected for posts in President Donald Trump's administration, but she said Monday there is "no way" she'll step down while Trump is in the White House and Republicans have control of Congress.
"Let me tell you why I should stay instead," Pelosi told the "CBS This Morning" program. "I'm a master legislator, experienced in terms of knowing institutional memory of the Congress. If Hillary Clinton had won, I might have gone home, but with Donald Trump in the White House, with a Republican majority in the White House, no way."
Further, Pelosi said, Democrats may have lost four races, including experiencing a bruising defeat in Georgia's special election last week, but there are far more races ahead that Democrats will win.
"These are four races chosen by Donald Trump, four races where there were double-digit leads for Republicans in previous elections," the California lawmaker and former House speaker said.....

Win-win for us either way.
Uh....OK :)
LOL! Nosanity Pelosi. FAKE face, FAKE party propped up by FAKE news. You go gargoyle.
Sounds like a good plan Nancy....
Great plan Pelosi!
100% behind your decision!
Check my math: She’s 77. 8 years of Trump will make her 88! LONG LIVE NANCY!
I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up more like it.
At least in this interview, she remembered who the current president is. She’s been having difficulty lately.
Give em hell Nancy!!!
Best news I’ve heard today. Pelosi is like herpes - he gift that keeps on giving.
I think your math is off, but she may age quite a bit faster while Trump is around. :)
We just keep winning, folks!
I KNEW IT!! It was NEVER about not about ‘leadership’ with her - it was only about trying to deprive Trump of the ‘victory’ of having dispatched her.
I’ve posted that a number of times. Sometimes I know the Left even better than Rush.
So Trump’s tweet begging the Dems to keep her around worked! She now sees this as some kind of personal battle against Trump.
It will be interesting to see if the Dems who do have the ability to remove her are willing to step up...or will they simply settle in as the meaningless minority opposition party until Nancy finally decides on her own to scoot...assuming that day even comes.
Sweet!
pelosi:
PLEASE stay and ask fauxohantus to run for prez!!!
PPLLLEEEAAAASSEEE!!
You done good with the dnc leadership, time to ensure the (d)s are in the hinterlands forever.
We need you in a Dim leadership position.
The more feeble you get, the better you are.
You go, girl.
Is that Common Core math?
Pelosi to the Democrats,
is like
Paul Ryan to the Republicans.
Me thinks at the end, she’ll have no choice.
