Pelosi herself might have even tipped them off behind the scene.

I will be correct.

I don't think she wanted to run last time. She doesn't quit when things are tough.

Pelosi will not be speaker again. She is going to go out to huge cheers.

Fuck the Repubs. They don't get to decide who leads our Party. Nor do Independent voters for that matter.

After the election, if somebody can beat Pelosi in a fair election among House members, then alright. But keep the horse in front of the cart. Election first, then worry about the Speaker chair.

To the rest:

Stop letting Republicans win elections.


"We have one North Star: 218 seats. Period,”

There's a really good reason for that too.

She is right where she should be until Democrats regain power & committee heads belong to the Democrats.
Only then should a changing of the guard occur in that powerful position she has maneuvered so well through, the maze of deception put upon her by the RW at a time when her hands were tied by this Republican owned Kremlin coup of our US Govt.

She knows her position so well & I thankfully applaud her many years of standing up for the people of this country even when they handicapped her by lazily ignoring & failing to simply vote in midterms, thus giving her the power she needed.

Stop letting Republicans win.
Its simple.

A new face has less baggage - optimism for change and something new

I truly like her and really appreciate what she has done.
And she probably remains the best qualified leader of the House.
But it's time to turn the page and give the party a fresh look to help win seats in 2018

Pelosi isn't the problem
Its lazy voters who expect leaders to performm miracles without voting for the assist those leaders need.

That meme of wanting Fresh faces, helped get us Trump.
We need to vote out the rot of Republicans before any 'fresh face' can be effective.
First win back Dem power, then change the old guard.

That "fresh face" won't do squat without the power of majority.
Ask Pelosi how well that works when lazy voters fail to assist in midterms.

STOP LETTING REPUBS WIN ELECTIONS

That's the only focus there should be at this time.inside squabbles can come after power has been regained.

VOTE DEMS

It helped Trump v Clinton
It helped Obama v McCain

Give the people what they want: change.

If they do that, the Dems will clean up.

Again, I think Nancy is wonderful. But the GOP will hammer the 9 bad things they will pin on her vs the 999 great things she has done. A new person gets a cleaner slate.

I like most things she has done.

But I'm not the one who is going to put up those ads.

The GOP are.

They're going to do a hit job - just like they did to Hillary.

GOP Unleashes Anti-Pelosi Ad Blitz in Fight to Control Congress

(Bloomberg) -- If there’s one person Republican congressional candidates can rally around for their November election campaigns, it’s House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.

Much as animosity toward President Donald Trump rouses Democrats, Pelosi is a bete noire for Republicans, who’ve long targeted her as the prototype of a San Francisco liberal. But this year, the GOP is turning it up a notch.

“Nancy Pelosi will be front and center in every competitive race in 2018,” promised Jesse Hunt, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee.

Pelosi, 78, who hopes to find a way back into the speaker’s chair if Democrats can gain the 23 seats needed to take control of the House, has been pictured or mentioned more than three times as often in broadcast television campaign spots for federal office when compared to the same point in the last midterm campaign four years ago. That’s roughly 7,000 TV ads so far this year, according to data from Kantar Media’s CMAG, which tracks political advertising.

Washington (CNN) - More money was spent and more commercials were run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in this midterm election cycle than against any other congressional leader since Newt Gingrich.

Who you got?

At a time when we are winning damn hear every news cycle it would make no sense for her to step down.

Not run for the position again? Yes. Step down? Heck no. Her stepping down wouldn't stop one commercial using her name in a negative manner.

I assume you think that because the Republicans demonize her to such a great extent. That has a far greater effect on REPUBLICAN voters than Democratic voters.

Why would Democrats appreciate throwing one of our own under the bus - esp. when she's been so effective AND we need to clean up such a mess once back in power?

Why would Democrats appreciate catering to the misogynists and ageists among us?

Why would Democrats appreciate the party caving to GOP ideas about who should lead the party in the House?

Most Democrats know that if we replace Pelosi, they'll find just as much if not more wrong with her replacement.

His own head and release himself as a hostage

Now let's unite and work hard and play it smart so we can win these coming elections.

Dems playing politics to win. Loving it.

I want the Republicans to taste bile every time they see her and every time she works her magic!I want them to gobble TUMS at the mere THOUGHT that a woman is in charge of the House!

Imagine all the good she'd have accomplished had lazy voters given her a majority.

Vote Dem
Pelosi Stays

Planning campaign ads using her. Let's at the very minimum start with zero harm

The GOP won't say mean things about.

Retoactive...they've worked years at this horrible fake persona...all they have to do is utter her name And we lose 100 votes in each precinct.
