Nancy Pelosi might actually be in trouble.
In a survey of 20 Democratic House candidates, only one – a former Senate staffer from Orange County, California – would state support for the congresswoman staying on as leader of the House Democratic Caucus. Of the rest, 18 declined to say if Pelosi should keep her job, while one, a political newcomer from a culturally conservative Ohio district, said he would vote for someone other than Pelosi.
Their refusal is a remarkable development for an already embattled minority leader.
Democrats are eager to win a majority buoyed by voters’ disapproval of President Donald Trump. But Pelosi’s own deep unpopularity has proven a major hindrance to Democrats in recent campaigns. After Democrats lost a special election in June, some party insiders blamed Pelosi directly.
“We are overdue for a new generation of leadership,” said Kenneth Harbaugh, a candidate in Ohio’s 7th Congressional District, and the only candidate surveyed who was a hard no on voting for Pelosi as leader. “We have a remarkable opportunity in front of us, and it’s going to take new thinking and new leadership to capitalize on it.”

Gee, that’s too bad.
No!!! Pelosi is a master legislator, just ask her.
We need Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and Keith Ellison to be the faces of the Democrat party in 2018.
If we can manage that there probably won’t even be a Democrat party in 2020!
Pour water on the Witch!
Democrats begin to see Pelosi as a 2018 problem...? She’s always been a giant hemorrhoid of a problem!
That is just too too too too rich!
Bring it on!
Maxine’s looking for a new gig.
Mad Max is a racist pig.
Pelosi walks like “Missisuhwhigginsa”.....but “Missisuhwhigginsa” is smarter.
Dems: Now grasping the obvious only 2 decades behind normal people!
Tough talk before the candidate even gets elected sounds very much like Republicans swearing they will vote to repeal Obamacare.
Vote Democrat - Better Nation, Better Planet, Better Universe
Something must be done to offset the RINO effect (all the Rats who ran as phony conservatives over the years, became RINOs, and undermined the GOP).
fake news. bug eyed pelosi is a dnc cash cow. Until that changes, she will the democrat party head cunning linguist (with apologies to austin powers).
Whoa...gotta be careful skimming articles. Came across this phrase...
“...and the only candidate surveyed who was a hard no on voting for Pelosi”
and totally misread it. Hint...leave out “no” and “voting” in last few words.
Not if the Pubbies in Congress can help it! They are literally throwing away the opportunity of a lifetime to bury the RAT's as they would bury the Republican's but they just don't have it in them, they just don't.....
Let’s not forget “Typhoid Debbie.”
She was a pox on the DNC so they dumped her for fixing the primary for Hillary....electronically rerouting Bernie’s donations to Hillary.
Now she’s in deep-doo in the Awan IT espionage case.
Taxpayers aren’t exactly thrilled Schultz used mega-tax dollars to subsidize Paki treason.
