Am so damned grateful for her position as Speaker, to take on this long walk out of the trickery & hell the Republicans dragged our country into.

No on knows the pathway out like she does.

Thank you Speaker Pelosi.

Then he would continue to claim that we are “Soft on Crime.”

Also harp on the need to ferret out the Republican holy trinity of "waste, fraud, and abuse."

Democrats have two years to build a case for why both parties aren't the same. I'd like to see the House pass bill after bill of popular stuff that Republicans hate, so the Senate can shoot them all down. Then, in 2020, you have the ads ready-made: We tried to rein in an out-of control president, but the Republicans in the Senate stopped every countermeasure we proposed. We tried to enact reasonable gun regulation to hamper more mass shootings, but the Senate, under its Republican majority representing a small minority of voters, voted to keep putting deadly weapons into the hands of the violent and the deranged. We voted to expand the Affordable Care Act so more Americans would be covered, but Republicans in the Senate wouldn't even give those measures a hearing.

And so on. And so forth.

Where he's threatening people. Take CNNs reaction to it and how gobsmacked they are by his threatening statements about investigating Democrats. Script writes itself.
