Pelosi Blames Clinton's Loss on Party's Hardline Abortion Stance

The House Democratic leader glosses over her own role in killing off pro-life Democrats.

Amid a tense Democratic debate over whether pro-lifers have any place inside the party, Nancy Pelosi delivered a blunt message to her fellow Democrats: Trump won because of the party's rigid stance on abortion and other social issues.

"You know what? That's why Donald Trump is president of the United States—the evangelicals and the Catholics, anti-marriage equality, anti-choice. That's how he got to be president," Pelosi told the Washington Post. "Everything was trumped, literally and figuratively by that."

Indeed, the Democrats' declining performance solely among evangelicals between 2012 and 2016 was enough to cost Hillary Clinton the election, as Ramesh Ponnuru wrote at National Review in December.

Why does everyone dance around the real issue? The US contains 4.4% of the worlds population and the other 95% don't approve of women in power.And that fact is irregardless of who the woman is.No woman could be the great president that Trump is.

What a load of crap..Hillary is a liar and a criminal. Condi Rice would have been elected without an issue but she didn't want to go thru the election process.

How long is this crap going to be news worthy . She lost and most people don't give a crap why or how . Having said that , she still claim she had the majority of votes , this was accomplished by the millions of illegal voters.
Time to give it all a rest .

It's fully six months after the election and the Dems are still trying to figure out why they lost. And they just won't shut up about it, even though nobody cares.

That is why Hillary lost...they don't have a clue. Just read all the intercepted emails. Liberals are vindictive hate mongers full of spiteful vitriol and couldn't care less about the ordinary "Joe" but will lie, cajole, scheme, and plot to achieve their goal of progressive politics. By the way Pelosi is Catholic and chastised by Pope John Paul for her abortion views.

It seems that Pelosi has had a revelation. She now knows that many people don't care for all of this social justice crap and the killing of innocent babies.
