Pelosi says states, not voters, should be able to decide who is on a ballot

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just stunned viewers on national television by admitting that she thinks states should decide who’s allowed to run for president of the United States.

This would give states like California the ability to drop former President Trump from the ballot if she got her way. Many feel her actions aren’t about protecting “democracy” but about pure, unadulterated power.

Pelosi told CNN’s Dana Bash on Thursday that although “martyr” Donald Trump could be the beneficiary from the “raw politics” of being removed from state presidential ballots, it’s the “kitchen table issues” that are important to American voters.

“Two states, Colorado and Maine, have now removed Donald Trump from their primary ballots,” Bash told Pelosi during the interview. “They cited his role in the Jan. 6th insurrection. Trump is challenging these decisions; the Supreme Court will likely decide. Do you think it’s a good idea for states to remove Donald Trump from their ballots?”

A single Republican in the Country removes Biden from a Ballot, and the Supreme Court is Emergency Session tonight.

They depend upon the surrender monkeys being weak.

That way all candidates will be pre-approved by the “Parties”, comrade. No more chancy elections, just show-voting.

I thought we were done with Pelosi.

Why is she still going around infecting the body politic with her infectious disease?

Whatever the opposite of right, good, common sense and patriotism is.............Pelosi will demand the exact OPPOSITE....every time.

Don’t know about other states, but IIRC, in FL I vote for ELECTORS.

Big diff from voting directly for a candidate.

What is a state if not the voters.

What is a country if not the voters.

Voters become insignificant when s0-called leaders decide that, they know better than the citizen voters.

Pelosi and democrats believe that the people should not be making any decisions, since the politicians know best what’s good for the people.

“I thought we were done with Pelosi.

Why is she still going around infecting the body politic with her infectious disease?”

Because she doesn’t want to retire from easy multi-million stock market gains. If she retired she could be charged with insider training from her DC rats giving her info on upcoming votes.

Is that the way Nancy’s beloved “democracy” works? Only the public officials of the State government get to pick who runs for office?
