‘NO WAY IN HELL’ Do We Win in 2018 With ‘Obstacle’ Pelosi

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is losing the confidence of her party. Democrats from across the country won’t say if Pelosi can lead the party to victory in the 2018 midterms. Rumblings inside the Caucus say her days might be numbered as the Democrats’ House Leader. In an interview with BuzzFeed, Rep. Filemon (D-CA) blasted Pelosi, admitting there is “no way in hell” his party wins in 2018 with the California lawmaker as House Minority Leader.

Washington Free Beacon reports: (http://freebeacon.com/politics/house-democrat-pelosi-obvious-obstacle-winning-back-majority/)

Democratic Rep. Filemon Vela (Texas) called House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) an “obvious obstacle” to Democrats taking back a majority in the chamber, saying there was “no way in hell” they can do it with her in leadership.

In an interview with BuzzFeed, Vela, whose south Texas district is safely Democratic, said Pelosi was a clear “drag” on candidates in swing districts. Democrats are hoping to win back a majority in the House in 2018 for the first time since losing it to the GOP in 2010.

Historically, the party out of the White House does well in midterms.

“When we go to 2018, if we’re going to win the majority, Democrats have to win swing districts, which means winning independent voters, swing voters, and even Republican moderates,” Vela said. “The problem is that in that demographic … it is real clear that the drag on our candidates is Nancy Pelosi.”

“If you have an obvious obstacle, why not remove it?” he added.

It’s not a new criticism from him.

We all know, except for a few Die-hard Libs here; Nancy Pelosi, and Chucky-cheese Schumer are the BEST people to REMAIN where they are in Congress.

And, I might add. Keeping Anti-Cli-Maxipad Waters around to keep making noise, can't hurt either!:dance:

Pelosi has been a detriment for a long time.

Pelosi has been a detriment for a long time.

detriment to a positive, prosperous society - and equality because she talks like a sexist bigot. Really really sad she keeps getting re-elected - sad commentary on the state of our nation where such wastes-of-spaces in congress like Pelosi and Waters and more - keep getting re-elected to be terrible at their jobs.

I'm sure Pelosi has been hurting the Democrats for years. They've lost a lot of support from people like me. I used to vote Democratic and I was also a donor but I stopped supporting them because even if I liked a candidate I never wanted to put Pelosi in a leadership position. The Progressive wing of that Party drove me away and I know others have left too because of Pelosi and people like her. Not that the GOP are any better, at least the Democrats are mostly honest about who they are but the GOP are a bunch of snakes.
