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.
Pelosi got 134 votes to Ryan's 63. The victory sends a message that while there's a growing appetite for major changes in the party's leadership structure and messaging tactics, it's not strong enough to loosen Pelosi's grip on a liberal-heavy group that's rarely challenged her authority.
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.

Yeah Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama are in charge they said.
Nothing can go wrong they said.
Hillary Clinton will be President they said.
It's going to be a landslide they said.
We're going to win both houses of Congress and the White House they said.
We're going to open up the borders they said.
Free healthcare for everybody they said.
Free college tuition for everybody they said.
Damn. They are all corrupt.
Actually, it’s a good thing that a nut job like this is still in power, she relates to nobody, especially the youth, is hated by her own party, symbolizes everything Trump ran against. Let their “Rino’s” hold onto what little power they have, it’s a good thing.
I was going to make fun of the Pelosi fact......
Until I remembered Ryan is still Speaker.
In my best Gilda Radner’s imitation, “Never mind”.
They haven’t learned a damn thing. Best election ever!
Indeed communism lives under many names democrat party is one of many names.
Wonderful news. The Democrats are so hard headed and will lose even more. I love laughing at them.
\o/ ,keep the failure going
Thank you. HAHAHA!
There are no brains to spill ....nothing to clean up.
:)
You’ll Be Sorry!!
They did the same in New Orleans when the re-elected Ray Nagin after Hurricane Katrina. And the'll do it again, and again expecting a different result every time.
A Trump lawn sign out here in California you say?
Are you kiddin me? I don’t want a Molotov Cocktail thrown through my living room window. I KNOW how the Dems of today can be. I live just a few miles away from U.C. Berkeley. Not far from one of their elementary schools where kids walked out of class and marched through the streets ‘to protest’ The Donald’s election. These are not your Hubert Humphrey Dems that I grew up with.
Let ‘em have at it.
When Trump throws any one of them a lifejacket, I’ll complain like crazy. Until then, it’s GO TRUMP! GO!
They haven’t learned a damn thing. Best election ever!
Agree!! Just keep repeating your failed mistakes, over and over....fool Dims.
