When they bring up Pelosi, why don't we bring up Paul Ryan?

Forgive me if this has been asked/answered before, but GOP leaders are greedy, lying cowards (and possibly traitors). There should be just as many if not more hit jobs on Ryan, McConnell & Co!

They want to make the midterm about anything other than the orange shit-gibbon in the White House.

mainstream media (a large enough chunk of them at least) decided they have a problem with her and are perfectly ok with advancing that narrative. These same geniuses have also decided that goofy Randian fuckwad of a coward is some kind of wonky mastermind. Instead of the way over his head Eddie Munster lookalike jagoff that he actually is.

I don't really watch CNN et al, but friends who do tell me that the Dems they've seen usually get tied up semi-defending & sort of throwing her under the bus Seriously, I doubt if Dems would know how to pivot off of Pelosi and onto Paul lyin' Ryan, McConnell etc.

when Ds retake the House this fall.

Paul Ryan is the most-incompetent Speaker ever. Ds want him to stay just where he is, doing untold long-term damage to the Republican brand and Party.

Hope that explains it.
