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?
This is no time for a change!
Nah - Pelosi is in good with the hard Left. A candidate messes with her, and Antifa will be on his doorstep.
Who cares you’re all crazy just like her. Every single one of you hold the same exact ideology and policies ans spew the vitriolic rhetorical that she does, so whoever you put in there’s going to be nuts too.
I wouldn’t be surprised if NANCY “retired” before the end of her term of office.
But you'll really start winning elections if you just go further left; that's what your base wants!
Mark Sanford is one seat I wouldn’t mind losing. Yuck
Time to move forward and win again.— Joe Cunningham
like Bloomberg said “not sure what again means”
Nobody likes a quitter
BS. Democrats do as there are told....they cannot be trusted. This is a ruse to pull weak support from Sanford.
I’m not voting for her either! And I live in her district.
Exactly. They did this before. It’s all noise. Nothing to see here folks... move along. Just a minor accident; the guy still has one leg left to stand on.
Didn’t peacecreep Cindy Sheehan come close to beating her one year?

Why can’t I, being well above the national average in intelligence, compose a great line this?
I really don’t know.
And don’t question the self-assement of my intelligence. That proclamation is quite easily proven: I’m a Freeper.
Ossoff the gift that keeps on giving .
She should try again.
Democrats MUST REPEAL Obamacare.
Otherwise lose elections.
I don’t know what to do with myself. Liberals can’t stand me. Conservatives can’t stand me.
I am getting a sense that with his “tweetiness,” Donald has managed to taunt the left into a towering rage, which will then bring them down.
He isn’t so barbed with the right, but he still doesn’t see eye to eye with them on everything either.
Don’t change horse faces in mid-stream!
