Democratic House Candidate: I'm Not Voting for Pelosi
Townhall.com ^ | June 21, 2017 | Cortney O'Brien

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?

Surely there’s a black-Hispanic Muslim trans-sexual they can elect somewhere.

She’s powerful and likes that power.
She’ll not go quietly.

i guess i don’t exactly understand why they’re scapegoating Nancy for these election losses. True, she’s a putz, but is she the secret mastermind behind all DNC’s losing election strategy? I thought Tom Perez was the DNC chair, not Nancy.

That presumes either will be the party nominees next year. Sanford needs to retire. He sadly went from excellent Congressman to decent Governor to lousy returning Congressman.

RE "...hold the same exact ideology and policies and spew the vitriolic rhetoric that she does..."

Sure, they absolutely do. BUT - The problem is that people are waking up to what they really are.

So they have put the masks back on and play "let's-dress-up-and-pretend-we're Americans" again to try and fool the stupid, naive, and the dull into voting for them.

It's what they do. Just like the fake news media that works for them, they're nothing more than fakes themselves at the end of the day; angry, bitter, obstructive, destructive, violent, and hateful towards everything that Real Americans love and hold dear.

Unfortunately for them, normal, everyday Real Americans realized it last November - and every election since - and told them to GFthemselves with a pretty loud voice.

And THAT thought alone should be enough to put a smile on your face every day you wake up!!! :^)

"...Tom Perez was the DNC chair, not Nancy...."

But San Fran Nan is the one everyone sees the majority of the time. That glassy stare, condescending smarmy voice, and fake Botox face IS the face of the democrat party, every bit as much as Hillary's is.

The little Marxist Shitweasel Perez operates behind the scenes and is smart enough to stay out of the spotlight, except for the occasional outburst (he can't help himself).

She'll take the hit for "The Party" if necessary, like the Good Little Apparatchik Comrade that she is.

Maybe they'll give her a nice little Dacha on a lake somewhere, like they did with Bernie so he would step aside and let Hillary be coronated.

Oh wait.... that didn't work out so well, did it...She got "schlonged" last November, by PRESIDENT TRUMP...BWAHAHAHAHA!

We can only hope! She is the gift that keeps on giving! Even she doesn’t realize that she has creeping senility. The repeated Botox injections have gotten all the way to her cerebral cortex! Anyone who kisses here on the cheek, should be advised with her repeated surgical procedures, they are actually kissing her a$$.

Nah. Gloating is fun. Good for the soul.

It’s like a shot of Fine Irish Whiskey... Uplifting.

Changing the voice of hate won’t change election chances. The voice will still push for perverts in the Women’s Bathrooms and indiscriminate slaughter of the innocent.

Their problem is they are a bunch of degenerate evil baby killing COMMUNIST SCUMBAGS, who want to steal our money and let in MILLIONS of Mexicans and Mozlums to kill us, take our jobs and depress our wages.

Oh, and take our guns and criminalize any opposition speech, weaken our military and faggotize every square inch of America and we’ll like it or else.

ISIS has nothing on these MF’s.

And here's one more thought to light up your day, courtesy of my good buddy and Dawg Brother Windflier:

The dimocrats have lost over a thousand races since 2010, all across the Country.

So lift a glass of Jameson's to THAT one, Snarky :^).

As much as I detest Pelosi it isn’t all her fault. She doesn’t run the party. That repulsive creep Perez does. Him and his second-in-command muzzie...

He’s the one who went “missing”, only to be found with his South American girlfriend?

If so, he needs to retire and get a real job. Still, I’d vote for him over ANY Dem.

Yeah, they’ve since broken up. That was minor compared to the crap 99% of the Dems pull. He’s been a decided disappointment since returning to DC. He was of the “three terms and out” philosophy the first time around. He’s now in his third term for the second go around (6th overall), so it’s time for him to retire.
