Dems face choice of unseating Pelosi
By Mike Lillis - 11/30/16 06:00 AM EST


 

Insurgent House Democrats hoping to shake up the party will get their chance on Wednesday when the caucus will cast secret ballots to decide if Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) should keep her top spot in the next Congress.

Pelosi has led the party for 14 years, and she’s widely expected to beat back a challenge from Rep. Tim Ryan, a 43-year-old Ohio Democrat just elected to his eighth term.

But Ryan’s pitch that the Democrats need a new message — and fresh messengers — after a string of election losses has resonated among a number of junior members, stirring resentments within the rank and file that have stewed since the Republicans won the majority six years ago.

“This is an issue about the future of the caucus,” Rep. Ruben Gallego, a 37-year-old Arizona Democrat, said Tuesday in an interview from his Longworth office on Capitol Hill. “The structural reforms we need aren’t there right now, and I don’t think we have the leadership to do it, either.”

Pelosi is part of the problem. She needs to retire.  The DEMS need some new faces and it is they who need to realize they need to move more to the center!

More than that, the Dems just need to behave like adults.  Instead, Pelosi, like Harry Reid, are typical of the bomb-throwing rhetoric that constitutes the main message of the Democrat party.  Their messages have long been hyperbolically irresponsible.  Normal people see and respond to such things, which is why the Dems have had such a terrible time at the state level, and one of the reasons why Trump won the election.

Go Nancy! Keep the spirit of the 60's alive and the Boomers in power! Be radical and always pushing the edge of social justice, finding and dividing off aggrieved victim groups to bring to the top of the liberal caste system!

What you've done so far has been so successful, we want you to keep what you're doing.
