Nancy Pelosi is a huge burden for Dems

[DrScholl]

Let's not pretend that whoever the Minority Leader is wouldn't be turned into some crazed, psychotic character that doesn't exist by Republicans. The people in mentioned in this thread would be easily demonized.

Lujan and Castro are Hispanic. Enough said.
Tim Ryan represents a decaying town and would be labeled as a liberal who believes in policies that destroyed manufacturing and coal in the Midwest. Plus, he represents Youngstown, which has a high black population.

With that said, none of these special elections would have turned out differently with another Minority Leader. Even if Pelosi is thrown out, Republicans can still talk about her anyway.

I honestly think anyone in Democratic leadership could perform a sacrifice on live TV and you'd stick by them as long as a "SANDERISTA" doesn't get in charge.

Anyway, lifetime contract, please!  She's a joke.

First off, I think you are confusing me with a Republican who still supports Trump after all his antics. Second, it's not a matter of me liking Pelosi, it's a matter of fact. You know that anyone elected Democratic leader is going to be attacked somehow and turned into a super villain.

And at least she's not a rapist like Hastert.

Then how come being compared to Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell doesn't hurt Republicans?  Someone like Tim Ryan would be far harder for Republicans to attack.  Pelosi is purely a walking caricature of exactly the type of image that Democrats need to move away from.

Republicans are professionals at attacking, it is what they live for. The Pope could be Democratic leader and they'd still find effective attacks.

Liking Pelosi or not isn't the point. It's the fantasy that Republicans will stop attacking Democrats if Pelosi out the way.
