You can tell when Speaker Pelosi recognizes a political backlash for her manipulative schemes because it’s the only time she blitzes the media. After suffering a very large political hit, beyond the capability of the media to defend, Pelosi said today the House will take up the Senate coronavirus bill.
The writing was on the wall late yesterday as people started digging into the 1,400 page House proposal and exposing all of the far-left ideological efforts within it. Billions were earmarked for nonsense progressive projects and the House scheme was fraught with social engineering that had nothing to do with assisting workers and businesses.
Even Pelosi’s own party started telling leadership they had gone way too far with the assembled list of nonsense legislation. The speaker recognized if she did not quickly make a tactical retreat her party would be crushed by exposure of the brazen politics they were attempting. The reach was so extreme, the media could not protect her.
In an effort to save a horrid face, the speaker was forced to blitz the media alone while all other house members watched to see how she could recover. Whenever Pelosi stands alone, that’s the “tell” for the size of the political miscalculation. Pelosi announced she was abandoning plans for the 1,400 page House scheme. Now the senate work continues…

She has repeatedly told us that she is a master legislator. Are we to believe this tripe.
QE to infinity. We now enter the black hole of hyperinflation. I do not believe it can be stopped now. How we will deal with it.
Need to eliminate H1B and send them home. Plenty of Americans available now. Good chance to reset jobs with American workers.
She’s dead Jim!
Ask LAZ.
Yep. Never try to stop free money.
Nanzi is an EVIL, NOXIOUS, VENOMOUS, LIEBERAL HARRIDAN who has ZERO interest in protecting America!
She, obviously, hates America and is intent on destroying the USA!
She and her LIEberal brethren and sistern MUST be defeated in November!
.... I am not sure if Pelosi’s bill was to deviously sneak in a few things for the Democrats .... But perhaps rather to create a laundry list of Items that the Republicans voted against to be used by the Dems in the upcoming Federal election campaign ....
American's in name only
The massive political hit would have been if she held up the bill because of all the crap the progressives wanted added. She didn’t, so she appears to have dodged a bullet on that.
Agreed. She was in danger of a massive political hit. But I think she took a hit just by trying.
Not one that will last.
What? Does this mean she’s caving? I see it’s not “The Onion”. I’m confused.
“Pence has really had a lot of face time and has done a good job, competent, to the point.”
He’s been excellent! Presidential. But, good grief, he’s as boring as hell. Still ... presidential; I probably would vote for him depending on whomever else will run.
The Pelosi retreat from the field was strategic, not tactical.
Her misguided strategy of following the well worn play book yet again was totally unacceptable
I think if he ran with another conservative as VP we might leverage a longer span of Conservative Presidents. There are other emerging stars this is just the first time I have seen Pence as viable for President.
I favor tar & feather for him but your mileage may vary.
Why?
This disease is hitting 'elites' first... people who cruise to China, people who eat in fancy restaurants, people who jet around the world for fun, people who live in New York City and PEOPLE WHO DAMN WELL EXPECT HOSPITALS TO TAKE CARE OF THEM WHEN THEY NEED CARE.
If this disease had hit coal miners first, the response of the 'elites' would be for the widows to learn to code.
Nancy overplayed her hand....
Congressional aides keep this sort of thing around for just such an opportunity. In the worst of conditions they're all lumped together in one big package and bull-rushed through the House with nobody bothering to check for contradictions or redundancy. This is exactly how we got 0bamacare and exactly why it was so very bad.
