Looks like Pelosi still has a deathgrip on minority leadership in the House. While there is rumblings of dissent and dissatisfaction with the stunning losses of democrats since 2010, her supporters invariably point to her ability to raise money.
Raising staggering amounts of money didn't win the White House this year. Or the Senate. Or the House.
But Democrats do control 5 States out of 50, so that's something.
DICKERSON: “The Democratic Party is in a moment of questioning about its identity. You were reelected to lead the Democrats in the House. What do you tell Democrats who want a new direction and then, go to you, what are you going to do differently?”
PELOSI: “Well, I don’t think people want a new direction. Our values unify us and our values are about supporting America’s working families. That’s one that everyone is in agreement on. What we want is a better connection of our message to working families in our country, and that clearly in the election showed that that message wasn’t coming through. But we are united in terms of the security of our country, which is our first responsibility. To be smart and strong and not reckless in how we protect the American people, strong in how we protect our economy.”

Keep up the good work, Nancy! We're all counting on you.
Can we expect a big goose egg counting Democrat control of States in 2018? Or at least California being the last bastion of liberalism?
