That's a bummer.
There may be hope yet that the new bums will not elect Pelosi as house leader if the Dem's win the House. Otherwise yes, old bums/new bums, same difference.

Say, are there substantive criticisms to be made of Nancy Pelosi? Seem like for ages now, all you here is someone saying "Pelosi!" They seem to think that's enough.

Perhaps you might mention her three worst crimes or something?

I never claimed that she committed any crimes as a simple answer.

And, how many congressional candidates are lining up for her endorsement is a question back at you.

Sorry DQ, my previous response was Naileresque.
Perhaps you will find this article interesting.

Is Nancy Pelosi's leadership the key to Democrats regaining the House, or the thing that will hold them back?

Quote:
Yet whether Pelosi gets another shot depends not only on the will of voters this November, nor on her own desire to extend her political career. Her fate will rest with a Democratic caucus that is already substantially different than the group that first elected Pelosi as its leader 15 years ago. Its membership is more diverse and more in tune with Pelosi’s own progressive politics. But each election brings a new batch of Democrats a generation or more younger than the trio of septuagenarians who have led the caucus for more than a decade. They are more apt to doubt the leadership’s strategy, to push for a more dynamic policy agenda, and to voice frustration when Pelosi’s tactical maneuvering runs into a dead end—as it did when, despite the attention her eight-hour floor speech received, Democrats could not secure protections for Dreamers in the budget deal.
I will predict that her leadership will make it harder for the Democrats to win back the House and definitely kill any chances for the Senate even if Trump depresses the turnout.

The article and your prediction just reflect the bad odor attaching to the name, which I acknowledge. My question though was not aimed at pragmatic election issues. My question is an attempt to get behind the odor, to ask what justification there may be for it's existence, or whether is mainly just arises from a long history of slurring directed at her.
