House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is losing support left and...left.
More Democrats are beginning to distance themselves from the House leader as the party continues to lose winnable elections, like Tuesday night's special election in Georgia. Despite outspending his opponent Karen Handel, Democrat Jon Ossoff suffered defeat - making it 4-0 for Republicans in special election races since Donald Trump became president.
South Carolina Democratic House candidate Joe Cunningham, who is running to unseat Rep. Mark Sanford (R), has had enough. Change, he says, needs to come at the top.
The Democratic Party needs new leadership now. If elected, I will not vote for Nancy Pelosi for speaker. Time to move forward and win again.— Joe Cunningham (@JoeCunninghamSC) June 21, 2017
Cunningham is not the only Democrat wanting to avoid another election cycle with Pelosi at the helm. Politico just released a piece on the growing "frustration" Democrats feel toward the Democratic leader.
"I think you’d have to be an idiot to think we could win the House with Pelosi at the top," said Rep. Filemon Vela (D-Texas), who supported Pelosi in her last leadership race. "Nancy Pelosi is not the only reason that Ossoff lost. But she certainly is one of the reasons."
Other Democrats have become so disenchanted with Pelosi that they've been emboldened to run against her. Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) challenged Pelosi in last November's leadership race after the shellacking the Democrats endured in the 2016 presidential election. She was wrong for continuing to target large, liberal cities, he said, instead of reaching out to the Rust Belt - a flawed strategy that had much to do with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's loss.
Nonetheless, Democrats reelected her. Will they continue to make the same mistake?
LMAO. Pelosi is the least of their problems.
Agreed!
Now is the time to urge democrats to vote for pelosi again for their leader. Seriously.
“She was wrong for continuing to target large, liberal cities,”
It’s the lazy way to gain support; giveaways, free rent, free food, free healthcare, cash back for having kids....and they are all nicely concentrated for you. It take a lot of hard work to connect with most of America.
While Hillary was paying Hollywood Elites to throw free concerts once a month and taking the whole summer off, Candidate Trump was hitting 3-4 cities and towns a week for 6 months. He took it to the heartland, he took it to the big cities and he took it to places that all the elites said was a foolish waste of time.
President Trump made them all eat their words and changed politics for the better.
bull droppings..
He is just saying what people want to hear. once elected (god lets hope they don’t get that far) he will be told who/what to vote for “or else”..
So your the one ;)
They still can’t t get a grip on the fact that the problem is their basic ideology, lies, misrepresentations, attacks on basic American values, and Godlessness.
The chronic Botox has pickled her brain.
When is the Cunningham/Sanford election?
One week ago...
“Mr Cunningham it’s Mrs Pelosi on the line!”
“Yes Ma’am! If you want me to say I won’t vote for you that’s just what I’ll say ma’am!”
but Pelosi is the supposed...leader-
Can’t remember who’s president (multiple times called out Bush!)
Can’t remember the names of her OWN party members-
I am sure she is the one to Dump close to $30 Mil
on the Georgia race-
Leave her be!!
She is doing a wonderful job
sarc
Just tell your liberal friends with a straight face: “You know, there’s a lot of Democrats I can’t agree with, but Nancy Pelosi, she’s outstanding!”
If enough of us did that, Pelosi would be outta there in a week.
Fake face, fake party, fake Americans.
San Fran Nan is universally loved, especially in red states. She needs to campaign with every candidate. It’ll totally work this time.
Nancy’s picture quote: “Well, they keep electing me...”
As obnoxioux as Pelosi is, the real problem is with the left’s arrogance and condescension toward Conservatives and Middle America.
If they change leaders but stick with their idiotic philosophy of governance, they will still lose.
“Mark Sanford is one seat I wouldn’t mind losing”
Anybody primarying him?
Pelosi, schumer, all of them take their orders from the “man behind the curtain” that manipulates the levers that blow the steam, and make the noise that is the Democrat Party, and the left. Pelosi will be there until she decides it’s time to go.
“Man behind the curtain” could be a council. Not necessarily an individual. Regardless it’s an evil creature with tentacles deeply embedded in the governance of our Republic with intent to destroy everything we hold dear.
So Nancy has lost this guy, and Cher. But I don’t see them putting another name out there to replace her. Jeb Bush?
Yep, Handel’s last ads were about how her opponent would vote for Pelosi no matter how moderate he tries to sound.
