It is an article of faith among political analysts that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a master strategist, and indeed her career is studded with significant accomplishments. Yet, more recently, she has made two grievous errors that could well cost Democrats the election in 2020.
The first was putting Adam Schiff in charge of the impeachment inquiry. The second is not reining in the so-called Squad, or the four female freshmen Democrats whose extreme progressive voices have helped push the Democrat party to the left, alienating much of the country.
The other day, Pelosi warned at a meeting with Bloomberg that the policies embraced by far-left candidates like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren could prevent Democrats from retaking the White House in 2020.

1) Hope the headline is right.
2) Not sorry.
Donald Trump fulfilling his campaign promise to pull America out of foreign wars might cost the Democrats the whitehouse and both houses of Congress in 2020.
It’s just as likely that the actions of their politicians on other issues is completely irrelevant as it is likely that the actions of Democrat politicians on other issues is causational.
The word Judicial says it all....and is what has happened in previous impeachments.
Schitts conned her...and she fell for it.
The two points made are common sense as the two biggest turnoffs the rats have is the impeachment and the far left AOC grade move they are making.
I think their coming out as total socialists (ie Bernie and the like) is their third mistake.
But that’s all OK. The more they show themselves for what they really are, the better the voting will be for Trump.
If she goes through with an actual impeachment, it will be very interesting to see both Hunter Biden and her son Paul Pelosi subpoenaed under oath to testify how they and other Democrats enriched themselves in the prosecutor free Ukrainian corruption zone from 2014 -2017.
Pelosi didn’t make a mistake, she’s just been brushed aside and has to be the public face of who is calling the $hots.
Hillary ruined the DNC and drained it’s funds. Anyone with money can spout nonsense about anything they want and get the DNC stamp of approval.
DUH, who in the world would think these were smart political moves?
How would she rein in The Squad? If our political and social system has one outstanding feature, it’s that everyone can do exactly what they like.
Even more so if rock-solid preparatory investigation gives the attorney the ability to instantly prove perjury to the judge, the court and the public at large.
What's the penalty for bearing false witness?
Fines and up to 5 years in prison per charge isn't it?
Pelosi and her Democrat and Media allies are as “dead-as-a door-nail”...politically!!! Case Closed!!!
Number 3: Her continued stealing of valuable air.
Pelousy’s stupidity could not only cost the Rats the House and her the speakership, it could lead the Pubs to turn the tables, and start investigating Hunter, Paul and the rest of the dirty Rats scurrying around our blessed country. Barr can do the rest.
In a community of sane citizens, Pelosi has already done plenty to cost her party the election. No further effort should be necessary. The problem seems to be the presence of too many useful idiots beholden to her party no matter what. Unfortunately, many of the useful idiots hold college degrees.
“Shiff conned her...and she fell for it.”
Or she dropped a turd in his lap knowing he’s dumb enough to try to polish it.

I disagree with the conclusion of this article. Nancy knows exactly what she is doing! It is NOT a mistake.
HOLDING POWER INSIDE THE PARTY IS HER ONLY GOAL. IMPEACHING TRUMP IS A RUSE.
Sly, old Nancy has figured out that the only way to crush the rebels who are threatening her power inside the Democrat Party, ne The Squad, is to fight this unwinnable impeachment war of attrition in order to purge her enemies inside her own party. I believe she would rather lose the Speakership than give up power. The old, partisan warhorse is too shrewd not to know she holds a losing hand. She is positioning all this going over the cliff theatre in such a way that the young crazies will take the blame. And Adam Schiff will just be collateral damage strewn along the road. And he is too egotistical to see it coming.
FDR used to say that he knew he wasn’t the smartest guy around, so if he could see something, so could others. Nancy knows the senate will never convict...so the only reason to play this charade is to tarnish her internal enemies. “AOC made me do it!”
Remember, in the face of a rising military threat from Hitler, Stalin purged his military and decimated their capabilities. Why? Because holding power at all costs is what people like this do.
In a lot of ways. I think that these observations are missing the Forrest..
I think the big thing here is that since they have been in the majority, they have done NOTHING.
They have completely squandered their majority chasing impeachment that will never even get a first pass in the senate and is DOA. They have spent all their time trying to damage Trump and accomplished nothing.
Nancy will go into hiding long before the election. They need this impeachment mess settled by 1/2020. Because Nancy has to disappear by then from the media.
“The first was caving to Schitt and switching the inquiry from the Judicial to the intelligence committee. “
Her only choice after Nadler!
Democrats have killed their own party by their own actions they never do anything right for the people only for the party.
Hitler winks
