Pelosi to Democrats: Treat Trump voters like a friend whose boyfriend is a jerk
CNN Politics ^ | February 28, 2017 | Dana Bash

Posted on 02/28/2017 9:18:45 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is telling her rank-and-file members that she is confident a good portion of President Donald Trump's voters will eventually turn on him -- and Democrats just have to wait it out.

She's using a colorful analogy to make her point -- comparing Trump to a friend's boyfriend who is a "jerk."

"The way I told my members: It's like telling your friend the guy she's dating is a jerk. You can't tell her that. She has to find out for herself. You can give her clues and then eventually one thing will lead to another, she'll come to her conclusion. But if you tell her right up front, you'll lose a friend. So we're not interested in losing any friends. Let them find out," Pelosi recounted during a small briefing for reporters in her Capitol suite Tuesday.

"They made a judgment and they're not willing to walk away from their own judgment," she said.

Pelosi did, however, make a sweeping judgment about educated women who voted for Trump rather than Hillary Clinton.

"White educated women who voted against Hillary? They voted with their husbands on taxes and they always have," declared Pelosi....

First signs of her being right just today...Trump starting to dip his toe into “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”.

All I can say is that he better be VERY, VERY, CAREFUL, for if he loses the base on this issue, NO ONE will have his back, when the Democrats move in for the kill (impeachment).

Right now, the Republicans in Congress, much to their discontent (in most cases) are FORCED to support Trump and with that, Trump is protected. But the only reason they are forced to support Trump, is us, THE MASSES, who will never support the Republican Party again, should elected Republicans team with Democrats to remove Trump.

...but should Trump TURN ON US, with immigration being the most likely issue where that happens, then we will be fed up with Trump, and the Republicans can then dispense with him, with little or no political damage to themselves.

We do give Trump a lot of room, but we also DID NOT elect him to bring the Gang-of-Eight back from the dead.

...time will tell.

Democrats aren’t your friends, they talk about you behind your back and mock you.

They don’t have your best interests at heart.

Stalinists lie. Always

Having said the above, this article points out that Trump is not heading in the Gang-of-Eight direction, at least not yet...so hopefully my worrying is a bit premature.

Nancy really needs to see a shrink before she hurts herself or hurts somebody else.

I wish this fit on a bumper sticker.

Trump is a jerk to the Democrats.

Democrats are a jerk to the American people.

I am happy with Trump. Nancy’s just acting like the jealous-x.

And bitter. She has all that power. All that money. And her hatred of Donald has turned her too bitter to enjoy the fruits of either. Donald wins again. As for the witch, she will die a bitter, lonely death. Oh, there may be scores of people in attendance, but there will be no love radiating. Either from them to her or from her to them. The people in attendance will be waiting for her to die so that they can begin picking her bones, and will obviously be thinking,”Hurry up and die bitch.” She will look out at the crowd, and by their actions and facial expressions, as she slips away into eternity she is understanding why they came. Why did they come? Each one that attended because they did not trust the others. Each one wanted to be first in line and to have first crack at the spoils, to make sure no one read any papers, had any discussions, or made any deals without their presence.
