Nancy Pelosi doesn't care if you hate her

Nancy Pelosi welcomes your hatred.

Okay, that may be an exaggeration. But when the Republican Party spends so much of its time talking about her, you'd think she'd be a bit more perturbed. And there's no sign she is.

She has good reason. We just saw yet another election in which Republicans tried everything they could do to tie the Democratic candidate to Pelosi, and he won anyway. Conor Lamb, the victor in that Pennsylvania special election, said at the campaign's outset that he wouldn't be voting for Pelosi for speaker in 2019 if he were elected, since he thought the time had come for a new generation to take control (Pelosi, who's 77, has been in Congress for over 30 years). That might not have made Pelosi feel good, but she's as hard-headed as they come, and if it helped win a seat for Democrats, she wasn't going to complain.

[Libloather]

In this year's election, more Democrats running in conservative districts will be following Conor Lamb's lead and saying publicly they won't support her for speaker. Pelosi is likely to take the same position with them that she took with Lamb: If you think it's going to help you win, go right ahead.

Whatever it takes to regain power.

He'll do as he's told, but not by his constituents.

Hate her? I pity her for her fried brain. Late term Alzheimer’s I’d say. She doesn’t even know what an embarrassment she is to herself and her party.

[jiggyboy]

Advancing senility, as we regularly see in videos of her repeating herself as she grasps for the name of the person her speech is about.

[Cboldt]

I doubt she is aware ...

Lamb was given $$$$$$ by Ryan (choice of the EXEMPT Rinos).

[Taipei]

Paul Ryan is somewhat less popular, nationally than Nancy Pelosi. For rather obvious reasons as he’s hated by BOTH sides.

[SkyPilot]

Why should she? Pelosi is worth in excess of $150,000,000, all “earned” on salary that never exceeded $215,000 as Speaker or $174,000 as a House member.

[TalBlack]

Uh, Conor Lamb himself ran as far from Pelousi as he could, so, you know, there’s that...

[reformedliberal]

So, the chameleon who won by hair for the few months remaining in the term, in a District that will be split in two...has he already won his recount? Saccone conceded? The impounded voting machines were declared to be working perfectly?

If so, cool. Lamb will have four months in office before summer recess and the need to campaign again in a newly-drawn District. Guess the progs showed the world.

[Doogle]

Have ICE raid her vineyards... That’ll
get her blinking...

[Tax-chick]

I don’t care if Nancy Pelosi hates me!

[FlipWilson]

Yesterday in Pelosi World: “Tillerson is Russia’s choice for Secretary of State.”

Today in Pelosi World: “Firing a fine public servant like Tillerson is Russia’s choice.”

[ClearBlueSky]

Classic megalomaniac/sociopath.

[dforest]

Good, then she won’t mind if I keep on hatin’ her. Her Alzheimers won’t care who hates her either.

[Rummyfan]

That's because she's living in La La Land.

[Impy]

Lambchop won’t still be there in January 2019 so it’s an academic question.
