So. Who else do all you Nancy Pelosi detractors think could have won the House back?

[redstateblues]

Especially winning those formerly red districts.

1. Nancy didn't win the House back.

You and I did.

[napi21]

9. That's true, the people won the House. But I ask you this; who other than Nancy would have dealt

with DT as well as she did? DT knows he can't push Nancy around land call her derogatory names ike he did to his repug opponents during the campaign. There are times when I think Dt just doesn't know how to deal with her.

12. Actually, she had a GREAT deal to do with the Blue Wave,

and other colleagues who worked their butts off for years to make it happen, of course. They and others are doing the same right now.

2. all the candidates that won

[PoliticAverse]

3. If you think she's responsible for winning it back why isn't she responsible also when it was lost ?

[leftstreet]

5. +1

[leftstreet]

4. She didn't. The candidates and voters did n/t

[BlueIdaho]

6. A different question...

Who besides Pelosi could be House Speaker, wrangle votes, and keep our majority together?

[beachbum bob]

7. So far giving pelosi the power has not yielded much of anything. She says

Barr has lied to congress, has contempt charges, where the fuck is the impeachment inquiry on Barr? Who cares about happens in the Senate, Pelosi is leading us to oblivion in 2020 if she doesn't unleash the power....

8. Pelosi

The “Blue Wave” was no accident. As titular head of the Democratic Party, Pelosi planned and implemented the strategy that turned 41 seats from red to blue in the 2018 mid-terms. She also raised over 125 million for congressional candidates – a staggering sum by any measure.

More votes (roughly 60 million) were cast for Democratic candidates than were EVER cast for ANY political party in a mid term election. That’s 15 million more votes than the roughly 45 million cast for Republican candidates in 2018 – the second most votes cast for a political party in a mid term election.

"There's not any precedent for an opposition party coming this close to matching the president's vote total from 2 years earlier." (Nate Silver)

10. We did that. Every single one of them that won their seats did that. nt

[redstateblues]

11. Funny how that works. If we hadn't won the House it would have been her fault.
