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...

Isn't it just as childish to assume that the Dems will not seek punishment for her? Many Dems would love to see her removed from power.
Blame is being placed and much of it is being placed upon her. How they do love to punish those they blame for failure.
Politics is always and only about power, which is why so many don't want to give up their bony grip on it. Term limits now! And/or repeal the 22nd!
Must be all that adrenochrome.
Sep 24, 2024 · Nancy Pelosi’s husband unloaded more than $500,000 worth of Visa stock — less than three months before the credit card giant was slapped with federal antitrust charges, public documents show.
I think the dems were stuck with Harris. Biden dropped out only a month before the dem convention. There wasn't enough time to mount a nationwide primary. If the convention delegates voted for someone else there was a risk that some part of the base would be offended and stay home on election day. The new candidate would only have a couple of months to raise money and try to make their case to independent voters..
yes
jeffries was only allowed to speak with her permission
and not a word from hoyer and clyburn about being passed over
Money may be the ‘Mother’s Milk of Politics’, but we have learned that it’s not as important as a good message and a great candidate.
They blew thru a BILLION DOLLARS PLUS ENDED UP IN DEBT and still LOST..........
I think Hoyer has health problems and Clyburn being in his early 80's may not have wanted it.
There will always be hammers Nancy. Lots of different kinds of hammers.
Well written.
It was the sexual weirdo community that ended the democrat party and caused the loss but it was Nancy's bad choices that made it happen on such a large scale.
It wasn't 'just Nancy' that caused this problem - most of the raw fear and anger was caused by bullies and thugs in the sexual weirdo/WOKE communities and their creepy pushing of sexual mutilation and sterilization of children. It was Joseph Mengele in death camps level creepy...
Bumping and grinding on city streets in 'pride' parades didn't help since again those parades were in the daytime with kids around. Everyone started walking or running away from democrats - Hispanics, blacks, Asians... The WOKE/Weirdo stuff was too much.
They need to blame CLYBURN!!!!!!!!
Democrats fail upward. Pelosi will be the POTUS nominee in 2028
It was a lot more than a $1B failure.
Nancy never has been very good with money.
Yup, her, Soros, Hillary, the pattern is clear. Mind you, adrenochrome is actually not that difficult to synthesize and there's no need to slaughter kidnapped children for it. They do that because they like to.
(For the gullible, this is a form of discourse known as a "joke" and I do not mean to suggest that the mentioned parties actually do kidnap and butcher little kids for their pineal glands. Nor do I mean to suggest that they don't.)
What are you smoking? She could barely function during her last term as speaker of the house. She is slightly better in a reduced role.
Clearly Pelosi is facing backlash from her own party, thus the unusual filing for re-election for 2026 as a middle finger.
But she’s toast, even the most intellectually challenged Democrats will figure out it’s time to move on.
And Hakeem Jeffries isn’t the heir apparent, he’s a loser as well.
One reason that NP is so detached from reality may have to do with the worship she receives from her constituents. I was in SF during the 2002 midterms (before she was even Speaker), and there were all these bumper stickers plastered around downtown: “Pelosi says NO on [insert number here]”. SF voters based their votes on local ballot measures by what their Congressman said. Bizarre and freakish. I imagine it’s only gotten worse since then.
personally, i’m pretty sure having the absolute WORST presidential candidate in the history of the United States might have been a teensy weency, itty bitty, tiny, small factor in the Democrat’s loss ... kamala was so bad that all the King’s propaganda men, and all the King’s propaganda horses, and all the King’s treasure wasn’t enough to drag kamala over the finish line even to president of a lemonade stand ...
OTOH, one CAN blame Nancy and Hussein for aiding and abetting the “Biden is as sharp as a tack” propaganda and media cover up, instead waiting two years too long to oust Dementia Joe and have a democratic primary whose pick would be guaranteed to be better than kamala and also have plenty of time to campaign afterwards ... [not there’s anything wrong with what Nancy and Hussein did, mind you]
