OK Dems, Obama has spoken, better get with the Pelosi support or you may look really bad.
Yes, she was Obamaâs âExtraordinary Partnerâ in Democrats losing the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the Presidency, and almost 2/3 of the State Legislatures while he was President.
Extraordinary, indeed.

Reading some of these comments, I fear that the Russian bots have joined TPM
When we can!
We are is Hillary and wears Bill Clinton? Where are they?
Well stupid the fascist pig in the White House rakes your name through the coals I hear nothing from Obama or Nancy even Michelle theyâre too busy sucking up and taking all the glory.
Nope Iâm not a rush but I hate pig in the White House.
But Iâm also a Hillary supporter and I find it amazing how Hillary and Bill are being ignored by the Democrats. Well the fascist pig race your name over the coals in the mud and they say nothing to support her. And by the way why didnât Obama do more to help her while she was running for president why didnât he do more to stop the release of the nope Iâm not a rush but I hate pig in the White House.

Where was Obama when he release that information so close to the elections? Makes me wonder if you want to see Hillary as president.
It would do absolutely no good for Pelosi or Obama to get into a pissing match with tRump and I donât see what youâre calling smugness on their part. Maybe the Clintons donât choose to be in the spotlight now. Would you after what theyâve been through. If they wanted to participate in politics now Iâm sure they know how to reach out and help.
And, what does Pelosiâs breast size have to do with all the tea in China?
No. You donât.
Youâre thrilled to be a negative voice, and it shows nothing pleasant or positive about you.
How independent of Trump should his FBI director be?
When you ask people what their problem is with Pelosi, they rarely have anything concrete to say. Instead, they say something like âwell, sheâs so liberal andâŚâ
I donât see the point in changing a leader because the GOP doesnât like her. There isnât another plausible candidate (which Iâm sure we can find a way to blame on Pelosi), and until there is a vision, we might just dismantle the circular firing squad.
Really? Maybe you should look into the extensive gerrymandering, voter suppression and voter disenfranchisement that continue to this day across the country. Good place to start:

Stealing votes is not specific to presidential offices. It happens across the board. Ex; Gerrymandering. I live in Michigan and this state was one of the worst gerrymandered states in the country.
Gerrymandering in Michigan is among the nationâs worst, new test claims
Among the Gerrymandered
How redistricting in Michigan has disenfranchised voters and amplified the efforts of the right.
Gerrymandering helps republicans on state and national levels which is itâs purpose. Michigan isnât the only state where this has happened.
Michigan has now taken redistricting out of the hands of legislators by putting it on the ballot. It won overwhelming and now there will be a citizens committee to redistrict the state for a more equal and fair representation. If every state had this, republicans would always lose but, they canât win unless they cheat so gerrymandering, voter suppression and voter disenfranchisement has been on steroid since 2000.
I think weâve got to keep her, despite the tarnished reputation. Anyone who replaces her will be tarred and feathered in the same way. This is not equivalent to running someone for POTUS with high negatives. Pelosi has experience, and is extremely valuable from an operational sense.
We want to keep her, because her reputation is not tarnished by attacks from the right. That burnishes her reputation.
Obamas campaigned for Hillary tirelessly.
I supported Hillary and she lost. Getting into a pis*ing contest with tRump is the last thing that anyone in the democratic party should do, and that drama is exactly what tRump wants to keep his base.
Democrats should pick one or two issues, and hammer him so hard that people should sub-consciously associate tRump with corruption. Trumpâs personal finances/money laundering, and his incompetence, are probably two areas to endlessly hammer him.
She won the popular vote. If we had a democratic election, she would be President now.
But we donât, so she isnât.
Most Americans, including Democrats, donât care that we donât have a democracy as long as we pretend that we do.
No Democracy, no justice.
Actually most donât want to keep her. Polls show that more Democrats want someone else other than Pelosi.
But she has given enough House members campaign contributions bribes to ensure her election as Speaker, and satisfy the oligarchs who pay âNancyâ for her services.
"There is no love lost for Nancy Pelosi, even among Democrats.
As Rep. Pelosi (D-Calif.) spends the week back on Capitol Hill trying to persuade her colleagues to give her another run at House speaker, fewer than one-quarter of self-identified Democrats â 23 percent â say their partyâs lawmakers should pick her, while a larger 36 percent say they should choose âsomeone elseâ and a 41 percent plurality have no opinion, according to a new poll released Wednesday by Monmouth University."
Never once did Republicans want to shitcan Boehner or Ryan because Democrats hated them nor do they consider getting rid of McConnell despite the fact that everyone hates him, but Democrats should get rid of Pelosi because the Republicans hate her? Please.
Thatâs an interesting poll, but the numbers I find impressive are the 55% that have no opinion on Pelosi as Minority Leader and the 41% who have no opinion on who should be Speaker. What Iâd say the poll proves is that there are plenty of âself-identified Democratsâ who donât have much of a clue whatâs going on.
And whoâs the âsomeone newâ anyway? Seth Moulton? Tim Ryan? Give me a break. We absolutely need someone who can manage votes, and thereâs no one else with the proven track record that Pelosi has.
The statement in bold is unequivocally false, from your own data. In the poll you cite, itâs just 36% opposed, which means that 64% of Democrats are fine with Pelosi as Speaker, a clear majority. Moreover, thatâs âpoll,â singular. More recent polls show a different story. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/21/poll-democratic-voters-back-pelosi-1009351.
A majority of Democratic and Democratic-leaning independent voters (53 percent) would like to see Pelosi be the next speaker, according to a Quinnipiac University poll, while only 27 percent donât want to see that. A CBS News poll finds 49 percent of self-identified Democrats think Pelosi should be the next speaker, compared to 40 percent who want another Democrat.
As for your harping on money, there really is no allegation so disgusting that you wonât go there, is there, despite having zero evidence to support your bullshit? As for this line:
Most Americans, including Democrats, donât care that we donât have a democracy as long as we pretend that we do.
Get a new shtick; this is just tired and it accomplishes absolutely nothing. Your constant attacks on Democrats are counter-productive and work against everything you claim to support. Itâs long past time for you to grow up and learn that.
Itâs just the usual bullshit from the usual suspects.
