During an interview at Tribune Fest, hosted by the Texas Tribune, Pelosi argued that following Congress' mandate to hold the president accountable is more important than politics.

"Heading into the next election cycle, do you have any anxiety at all about any of the stuff we're talking about...impacting your ability to hold control of the House in 2020?" Tribune CEO Evan Smith asked.

"It doesn’t matter," Pelosi responded. "Our first responsibility is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

"People say you have to take a political risk doing that," she continued. "That doesn't matter. That doesn't matter. Because we cannot have a president of the United States undermining his oath of office, his loyalty to his oath of office, undermining our national security, and undermining the integrity of our elections."

2. Crystal clear case. Republicans are the ones who will lose seats. Dems are patriots

Republicans are viewed as compromised, beholden to their swamp thing.

4. Thanks Nancy. I don't think you'll llose the House. Way too many people support you in this

impeachment. I think you would have lot the House if you Hadn't done it! I can't even count the # of messages I've read criticizing the Dems for NOT beginning impeachment. I think the PUBS will lose the Senate because they all supported this lawbreaker in everything he did wrong.

5. There appears to be a never ending moutain of wrondoing

by the tRUMP administration that is going to be on display for the entire country to see, INCLUDING the Faux Snooze viewers. If the Democratic Party candidates use these FACTS to their advantage I believe we will not only hold our majority in the House we will build on it.
