Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not believe President Trump can be removed through impeachment — the only way to do it, she said this week, is to defeat him in 2020 by a margin so “big” he cannot challenge the legitimacy of a Democratic victory.
That is something she worries about.
“We have to inoculate against that, we have to be prepared for that,” Ms. Pelosi said during an interview at the Capitol on Wednesday as she discussed her concern that Mr. Trump would not give up power voluntarily if he lost re-election by a slim margin next year.
Sitting in her office with its panoramic view of the National Mall, Ms. Pelosi — the de facto head of the Democratic Party until a presidential nominee is selected in 2020 — offered Democrats her “coldblooded” plan for decisively ridding themselves of Mr. Trump: Do not get dragged into a protracted impeachment bid that will ultimately get crushed in the Republican-controlled Senate, and do not risk alienating the moderate voters who flocked to the party in 2018 by drifting too far to the left.
“Own the center left, own the mainstream,” Ms. Pelosi, 79, said.
“Our passions were for health care, bigger paychecks, cleaner government — a simple message,” Ms. Pelosi said of the 40-seat Democratic pickup last year that resulted in her second ascent to the speakership. “We did not engage in some of the other exuberances that exist in our party” — a reference to some of the most ambitious plans advocated by the left wing of her party and some 2020 candidates, including “Medicare for all” and the Green New Deal, which she has declined to support.

This has become a nearly [or possibly literal] biblical battle between good and evil.
People need to understand that.
My best friend is a flaming liberal yet I love her...and I worry for her soul.
Who dat old ass white biatch yappin’ her gums about “being moderate” and sheee-t. Dun’ momma know that A! O! C! is the BOSS LADY? Sheee-t!!
1924.
But, they are not in the center. They may be to the left of Lenin. Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot and Castro. They are crazy.
That is a very big "if".
The Democrats did way better with election fraud than they ever should have been able to do in the most recent Florida and Georgia elections. Yes, they lost. But they will double-down on those efforts. They have telegraphed their intentions to cheat massively in the 2020 elections.
Twenty States are reported considering new "laws" that would, in effect, prevent President Donald Trump from being listed on their ballots for the election.
This is a recipe for Civil War.
Run Alexandria, Nancy! She’s a sure ticket. She could run with Omar. You got the Latino vote, the Women’s vote, the Muzz vote, and the Socialist’s vote. How could you possibly lose??
The Democrat “center” has moved so far left that Lenin would be viewed as too far right.
“Our passions were for bigger paychecks” — What a hilarious joke. They had EIGHT DREADFUL LONG years to generate just ONE year of 3% growth and they failed. They measured their success by how many more people were ON food stamps, not by how many FEWER needed food stamps.
It is surprising that she even want to mention anything related to the economy, unemployment, and paychecks. I’m sure President Trump welcomes them to stand on their economic record and their economic policies. He’d mop the floor with them.
Anybody who thinks Dems are for higher income for the working man and women is smoking some good weed. All the Dems did during the Halfrican’s Reign of Error is pump cash into the pockets of their crony contributors and union leaders.
New York Times. “That is something she worries about.”
Yeah, right. The NYT is just making this up to advance their tiny world view. As if... Pelosi is crazy and Trump is thankful for her presence in Congress, since she has a leash and just barks at other Democrats.
The NYT seems to be a religion for a lot of atheists that I know, as if it has magical powers or something.
I sense the ground work being laid for a false narrative of a “stolen election”.
Excellant translation! Their strategy is to register as many border jumpers as possible. If they fall short, they will make a plea for the middle to make up the difference. The Convention will give us a clue how they will proceed.
If they ban him on the ballot they’d better invest in toe tags.
What’s he going to contest after he wins? The outcomes of New York and California? I think he knows those two states are broken.
Thanks, Nateman!
Do you believe this next presidential election will be legitimate?
I believe it will be fraud, fraud and more fraud and NO, we will not be able to accept it.
Trump is simply the ‘we’ in ‘us’.
Trump does not have to accept the so called results if we don’t accept it either.
Pelosi needs to know this.
The Left pushes and pushes and some day, they we place the straw that breaks the camels back.
It could get really ugly.
Wait...I dunno, our side will probably just complain on the Internet until we start to get hungry, get sick and die in ‘wonderful Socialism’.
Pelosi knows they’ll be cheating like they always do and Trump has the nads to call them on it.
Translation: “we’re gonna cheat like we never cheated before...”
IOW, lie.
This is the center for the democrats.

*Every* time a Dem makes an accusation, they’re actually making a confession.
Project/deflect/deny.
Always.
The cheating in 2020 will be of epic and unheard of proportions.
