Nancy Pelosi is finished — no one deserves more blame for Dems $1B electoral collapse
NY Post ^ | 11/17/24 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 11/18/2024 12:42:25 AM PST by Libloather

It’s high time to shatter the myth of Nancy Pelosi as a master strategist. Nobody deserves more blame than the ridiculously self-titled “speaker emerita” for the Democrats’ $1 billion electoral collapse.

Under her ruthless leadership, her party lost the White House, the House, the Senate and the popular vote. You can’t say that enough.

Voters rejected the Dems coast to coast, even in Pelosi’s deepest-blue home city of San Francisco, which saw a 7-point swing to Donald Trump.

She’s the only speaker in history to have lost control of the House twice.

She’s finished.

The empress emeritus has no clothes, perish the thought.

And yet she still has the hide to reward herself with another term, filing the papers last week to run for re-election in 2026, at the tender age of 86! She’ll be 88 at the end of Trump’s term.

When is too much enough?

Her saccharine-coated “Mean Girls” style of partisan viciousness and deviousness turns out to have done nothing for her party but postpone the inevitable reckoning between radical left and common sense moderates. Unfortunately for the Dems, most of the latter have taken a hike under Pelosi’s reign.

If the GOP is Trump’s party, the Democratic Party is Pelosi’s — and what a viper’s nest of blame-shifting and rancor it has become, as they all blame each other for their humiliating defeat at the hands of the man they derided as a Nazi. Most Americans didn’t agree, and now the Democrats and their media handmaidens stand exposed as frauds and liars.

If Trump is such an “existential threat” to democracy, as Pelosi insisted to the bitter end, then why did Joe Biden greet him with open arms and a beaming smile the other day?

“Welcome back,” said the president...

So then who is the leader of the rat party now? Dementia Biden? Vacuous Kamala?

I’d say Nancy is still the only figurehead capable of stringing a coherent bunch of words together to form a meaningful sentence. And obama will still be working behind the scenes.

“If there are any history books left, she’ll get blamed forever.”

I blame her for COVID. During the Chinese New Year party she encouraged all citizens of SF to get out into the streets and celebrate. Why, knowing all too well that COVID was highly contagious?

The fault is Biden’s and dates from 2020, when he picked Kamala Harris. Biden could have picked Tulsi Gabbard, a woman of ‘color’ and competence. Biden could have picked Cory Booker, a ‘person of color’, who has the same political beliefs as Biden and is undoubtedly ‘black’.

Trump will be able to leave the Oval Office in confidence knowing J.D. Vance has what it takes to be President.

Biden had to try to hang on, but his mind failed him. Harris, with 55 years of entitlement mentality, would have made a nasty fuss if not chosen to carry the Democratic baton. Harris made a nasty mess.

Could be. It seems she said increasingly bizarre and utterly insane things. Maybe she was simply trying to move the Overton Window.

“She devoted the twilight years of her career to her obsession with destroying Trump and his supporters, whom she slyly set up on Jan. 6, 2021, by refusing to give Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund the National Guard backup he begged for, and then turned the Jan. 6 committee into her personal star chamber”

This is good. Miranda embraces the J6 set up theory. Report more on this Miranda!

My opinion, but I would not include Carter in the list of true evil. Clueless? Sure. Naive? Undoubtably. But, EVIL? Naw. The man had a good heart.

They used to just leave Congress after losing their Speaker Position. One guy cried a lot...I thing he lobbies for cannabis now. Newt makes more money now, giving advice then he ever did passing laws. The last dem before Nancy and Newt, just left D.C., went home and never came back

What does any of that have to do with Fancy Nancy possibly facing a Dem opponent for the seat?

It means that Pelosi is not finished or whatever wet dream our side chooses to write about.

It means that when the orders come down from the Politburo about something, the lemmings follow suit accordingly and will put Nancy back on the throne again.

To believe these childish fairy tales that Pelosi or Biden or Obama are "finished" is not independent thinking.

But many prominent pols have been very old drunks.

Yep, the old hag will cruise to an easy re-election. She could run as a cadaver and win.

Carter is a fraud, he’s said some vile things over the years and he is the one is responsible for unleashing Islamic terrorism on the world. Every terrorist victim’s blood is on his hands. The media has built up his “ah shucks” PR campaign.

And they did it in a little over 3 months. Stunning.

The Breitbart rule applies here.

“Politics is downstream from culture.”

The first wars fought are the culture wars.

The Democrats are in big trouble now—because their extremist culture war has created a party of insane people as their grass roots.

Attempts to have a smiling Hakeem and others seem like moderates just put lipstick on the pig.

Seize her finances on the pretext of insider trading and then prove it to the nation;) This is the kind of finished I want to see - end the illegal use of power to enrich themselves.

I think Nancy should stay right where she is.

Let her keep on doing exactly what she’s been doing.

Well, perhaps it is ok to let Nancy watch as her husband is indicted for insider trading

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT): 80 years old with purple hair no less.

Some people never grow up.

Some of them look pretty good. Some didn’t age well at all.

That said, mandatory retirement age should be no more than 75. Can’t run after you turn, goodness, I was going to say 70 but I’m almost there and while could be doing lots better physically, am in fine shape mentally.

Still, we need a limit and no running after 70 and you can finish out your term.

And term limits.

We need fresh blood and to get rid of career politicians.
