CNN: 26 Million Reasons Why Pelosi Isn't Going Anywhere

She was planning on leaving, but Trump winning prompted her to stay on. Pelosi is a strong leader and ran the House well, which is why the caucus kept her on.

People can hate on her all they want, but she is better than Paul Ryan, who never seems to get any criticism. She even gets more hate than Dennis Hastert who is a child molester.

Democrats could install David Duke as minority leader and it still wouldn't make the white working class vote flip.

Exactly. Good choice on emphasizing those voters' racism too (David Duke). Here come the Republican and Bernie bro tears.

Of course, it's all about identity for them and nothing else.

What on Earth are you talking about? I voted for Clinton in the primaries but yeah, I guess everybody who has objections to Pelosi is just a salty Berniebro.

I really think it's lost on people how bad of a taste Pelosi leaves in people's mouths of the Democratic Party, or at least House Democrats. There's a reason why Senate Democrats typically do much better than their House counterparts. She's literally the epitome of San Francisco liberal that Fox News hollers about. Imagine if Seth Moulton was the Democratic House leader. A young, photogenic Marine who happens to be a straight white male (from Massachusetts, but at least not from the freakin' city of San Francisco). It'd be a night and day difference. Honestly, if Pelosi were to step down before the midterms, it'd maybe even make a Democratic House takeover likely.

And there lies the bias. Thank you for showing the true gripe with Pelosi. Do you think Republicans can't find a way to attack a straight white man?  Don't fool yourself.

Nope. Those people in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania voted for Trump be ause he was at least hitting populist talking points on trade. To call everyone who voted for Trump an angrywhite man is the type of SJW politics that Hillary ran and lost her campaign on. Run with that idea in 2020, and Democrats will lose badly.

Besides, many voters in those industrial states are two time Obama voters, so don't give me the angry white man stereotype, otherwise those industrial states will vote GOP for a long time to come, because they despise the identity politics Hillary ran on. "Vote for me because I'm a woman" was not a compelling argument, despite what you think.

As for Pelosi, she needs to go, now. Put up Tim Ryan, now. Bernie proved that you don't need to raise from bankers and corporations to run a strong campaign that by all rights, should've gone nowhere. That's the part people forget when talking about her fundraising abilities. That doesn't mean jack if it's raised from Wall Streeters and corporations.

For crap's sake, another diatribe about identity politics. You can't act like Trump didn't play identity politics with all his railing about immigration and calling immigrants rapists. But all of that is a moot point. Pelosi isn't going anywhere, so just get over it.
