Nancy Pelosi could be Speaker of the House again. The die-hard San Francisco leftist, who presided over record deficits, forced Obamacare through over Republican objections, and centralized power in the Speaker’s office, could reclaim the gavel.
That’s a prospect the Republican Party is using to urge wary voters to go to the polls in November, especially those who are dissatisfied with the choice of Donald Trump as the party’s presidential candidate. Though polls are tightening in many swing states, and some national polls even show Trump ahead of rival Hillary Clinton, the Republican nominee is seen as a drag on the ticket in several areas of the country where he remains unpopular, and where incumbents are facing strong challengers.
The San Francisco Chronicle notes that Republicans are facing tough races in the San Joaquin Valley and in San Diego, where Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) is facing a tough race for the first time in recent memory. Other seats in jeopardy include Illinois’ 10th district, where moderate Republican Bob Dold took his seat back in 2014 and has been running against Trump ever since to make sure he keeps it.

I'm sorry miss you are going to jail with your buddies for making that health care bill for illegal things.
ReplyDeleteShe is a national embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what kinds of meds are used to keep her going? She looks like death warmed over. I really lose any respect that I have for those people in her district that keep voting her into office. It's just like the Eddie Murphy movie "The Distinguished Gentleman", those voters are voting for "the name you know". Great movie that is full of truth in politics.
ReplyDeleteSo that's Miss Lube-Rack '55? Must have been 1855!!
