Pelosi, the gift that keep on giving.
Tell your detractors to pound sand Nancy. You are right where you should be. Ride the DNC right into the ground.
i guess i don’t exactly understand why they’re scapegoating Nancy for these election losses. True, she’s a putz, but is she really the secret mastermind behind all DNC’s losing election strategy? I thought Tom Perez was the DNC chair, not Nancy.
I’m convinced that the only reason that Pelosi stayed on after 2016 was to prevent the Republicans from having the satisfaction of dispatching her. She wants to leave on her terms.
There is DEFINITELY huge screams to get her out. After this election (i.e., in Nov. 2017), every Democrat that runs will find himself portrayed as a Pelosi clone. The Dems are doing it behind closed doors, and just this little bit is leaking out - but the last thing they want to deal with are the commercials cloning them to her. THEY WANT HER OUT.
So how does she leave? My guess is that she soon announces her ‘retirement’ at the end of the term...but then pushes it up a bit - to August, 2018...in that way, the Republicans won’t have her around to clone as November 2018 nears, and she can still ‘claim’ that she wasn’t driven out, only that she moved up her ‘retirement’ date a bit.
One more facelift and she’ll have a goatee.
