One-hundred and thirty-four House Democrats collectively lost their minds last week.

That is how many of Nancy Pelosi's colleagues it took to vote her back into power despite having lost her third consecutive chance at winning back the majority from the Republicans.

Her win over Youngstown Ohio Democrat Tim Ryan for Minority Leader proved two-thirds of those House Democrats have more interest in someone who is a deep-pocket fundraiser than someone who perhaps could have made the party more competitive in swing districts or more cohesive in their message to the voters.

Or perhaps both.

Their decision was arrogant, tone deaf and a smack in the face to the voters who once proudly supported this party and were waiting to see if someone would lead them back out of the progressive wilderness.

Kevin Lawson, 22, is one young Democrat who would have preferred Ryan over Pelosi, "We need a message that resonates not only with young people, but a much broader swath of the country," he said. "Ryan talked about the economy in his local race, but the overall message from the party was flat and uninspiring."

Ryan should switch parties and be the minority leader. Chaffetz should be majority leader.

I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.

The Left has total faith in communism. They have not yet awakened to the corpse it has become.

The Democrats have cast their lots with Satan, so to speak and there’s no going back for them. They’ve lost their souls(if they ever had them in the first place?)and now they’ll go down the tube of irrelevance forever, hopefully???

Whatever Traitorcrats do, including stealing oxygen, is an act of treason.
