Axios.com’s Mike Allen reports that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is now considered a lock for Speaker of the House in 2019, as her party is expected to sweep the 2018 midterm elections.
If so, it would be one of the most remarkable comebacks in political history, after Pelosi led her party to an historic defeat in 2010 after serving as the first female Speaker for four years, then clung to power over a shrinking minority party for eight.
Allen notes: “It would take a flip of 24 seats for Dems to take over. The average loss for the president’s party in his first midterm is about 32 seats, and we’re hearing forecasts of 40+ losses.” He acknowledges, too, that the existing district map, and the past demographic patterns of voter turnout in midterm elections, favor the Republicans. But there are many signs of Democratic momentum, and many prominent Republicans have already retired their seats.

Money talks!!!
Voters > Get Rid of her Long Overdue !!!
Please, spare us!
She already looks like she had a stroke, liberals will put anyone on charge, I'm sure they'll prop her up like Weekend at Bernies if she kicks the bucket.
That hag is older than dirt and senile already. Good chance she will be dead by then.
Poor dems. They let her lead them to a massive loss of the house under Obama's leadership, and now they are planning to put her in charge again!? Demagogues never learn. Just shows how corrupt the democrat politicians are, and how clueless the democrat voters are. Pelosi couldn't care less about the country, or the voters. She only cares about power (and that private jet to fly her back and forth to California).
Even if she gets the job I can still feel happy that Hillary is not President.
