Nancy Pelosi: Democrats are ‘going to own’ campaign trail in August
Quote:House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., exuded confidence about Democrats' midterm election prospects as lawmakers left for the long August recess Thursday.
"As we go out there we intend to own August, to own August in terms of having the American people, in a unifying way, recognize that this isn't who we are as a country, to take children away from their parents," Pelosi said at her final press conference ahead of the summer break.
Pelosi added that voters will respond to Republicans' "ideological opposition" to the Affordable Care Act.
"It's going to be an interesting time," Pelosi said. "We intend to own August, own the ground as we go into the 100 days before the election."
But as House Democrats left the Capitol Thursday, maneuvering continued within the caucus as members mulled leadership bids and Rep. Katherine Clark, D-Mass., announced her bid for the fifth-ranking leadership spot.
Asked about the increasing calls from House Democrats for a change at the top, Pelosi said it's the least of her worries.
"We have a lot of issues that are very important in our country right now and what happens in the House Democratic leadership will happen after the election," she said. "I feel very confident of the support that I have."

Yep. The gift that keeps on giving. Every time she's opens her mouth a toilet flushes in the background. She's a dinosaur that needed to retire like 20 years ago. She and McCain should be voted Congressional Lich King and Queen.

Unless they quit obstructing justices, there aren't going to be any Democratic senators campaigning in August.

Make no mistake about it, right now the enthusiasm belongs to the Democrats. Republicans especially conservatives are not very fond of our congress critters. While Democrats are very willing to vote against Trump. By all means get to the polls and bring as many friends as you can muster.

She's right. They will own it. They will own all of their garbage. And it will be funny as hell to watch.

Yea, Mind blown is good,
The nuke going up is better. I just don't know how to post it...
The "reaction" when the "blue wave" is an inconsequential ripple should be must see TV.
Like watching the white Bronco or TYT election night meltdown. lol

It's all yours, Nancy.
Conservatives will just own the ballot box on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

The blue wave you hear is the hopes and dreams of liberals flushed down the toilet.
