Pelosi says states, not voters, should be able to decide who is on a ballot
January 5, 2024 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just stunned viewers on national television by admitting that she thinks states should decide who’s allowed to run for president of the United States.

This would give states like California the ability to drop former President Trump from the ballot if she got her way. Many feel her actions aren’t about protecting “democracy” but about pure, unadulterated power.

Pelosi told CNN’s Dana Bash on Thursday that although “martyr” Donald Trump could be the beneficiary from the “raw politics” of being removed from state presidential ballots, it’s the “kitchen table issues” that are important to American voters.

“Two states, Colorado and Maine, have now removed Donald Trump from their primary ballots,” Bash told Pelosi during the interview. “They cited his role in the Jan. 6th insurrection. Trump is challenging these decisions; the Supreme Court will likely decide. Do you think it’s a good idea for states to remove Donald Trump from their ballots?”

Pelosi says all sorts of things and all of them make no sense.

Actually, the states kind of do decide, don't they? If you get X number of signatures, or file certain paperwork on time (along with the fee), etc.? When I ran for office, that's the way it was: just go to your state's secretary of state website, click "elections," and they'll tell you how to get on the primary ballot. Presto.

That's certainly how it works in Texas.

When democrats are in power, they want government power supreme and oppressive, when Republicans are in power, democrats hypocrisy is on open and full display.  They should be going to chiropractors constantly.

Nancy Pelosi is a dangerous authoritarian, especially because of her parliamentary prowess.  She is one of the people most responsible for the current dysfunction in Congress.

I don’t know. She faces a serious challenge from the likes of AOC on that title.

Democrats support "democracy" until they don't.
