Pelosi: Democrats Have ‘Won Every Fight’ Against Republicans
Quote:House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said Wednesday that Democrats have "won every fight" against Republicans, leaving out that Democrats have lost every special election to Republicans this year.
"The Republican Party is in such disarray right now, crisis after crisis; nonetheless the Democratic Party does not not seem to have been able to capitalize on the problems facing your other party," KRON reporter Pam Moore said during the exclusive interview.
Pelosi was taken aback by Moore's suggestion that Democrats have not "capitalized" and asked her what she meant before responding to her question.
"We have beaten them in appropriations," Pelosi said. "We've won every fight. The president's numbers are in the high 30s, which is for a new president remarkable to be so low. He is making his own case. The American people see for themselves that he does not share their values and that he does not—some who may have voted for him are now rethinking and others are just digging in their heels."
Pelosi went on to discuss the efforts of Democrats trying to take back Congress in the 2018 midterm elections by touting their new economic message that was rolled out in late July.
"We hope to get Republicans to join us in our Better Deal: Better Jobs, Better Pay, Better Future," Pelosi said.
Pelosi claimed that Democrats "won every fight" against Republicans, but she never mentioned the four special elections that Democrats spent $35 million on, only to lose to Republicans candidates. Since President Donald Trump took office in January, Democratic candidates lost in Georgia, South Carolina, Kansas, and Montana.

Unfortunately, she is mostly right in a legislative context given their minority in both chambers. I am beyond disappointed with the Republicans lack of movement given their complete control.

Both him and Pelosi are glaring reasons why we need term limits ASAP.

RE: Pelosi: Democrats Have ‘Won Every Fight’ Against Republicans
Pelosi did not win. They did nothing to stop Trump and the Republicans. It is Republicans and Trump's threats that caused them to fail. Trying to rush bills without any debate is not the right answer, and excluding a lot of people including fellow Republicans was not an answer either. As it is, Democrats and Republicans are joining forces to work together on bills that the leaders of both parties will try and stop them from going onto the floor. The voters want both parties to work together to fix the issues, but it is the leadership from both parties that are in the way for process.

On this...I am in total agreement. It is time for term limits. These career politicians need to become extinct.

That is why there is a movement to force Pelosi out of the leadership by other Democrats, and it is growing even louder today.
