Nancy Pelosi's post-election press conference message: WE WILL FOCUS ON THE MIDDLE CLASS ISSUES.

[LBM20]

Gotta say, it's good. She says Dems will deliver for the American people on the middle class bread and butter issues.

She is CORRECT and SPOT ON. See this:

[AlexSFCA]

1. perfect; this is a winning formula

[msongs]

2. yep impeachment is a waste unless there is proof of crime. let billionaires who want it

get over it

[YessirAtsaFact]

3. If I was planning to investigate aggressively and possibly push for impeachment

I’d say exactly what she just said after the midterms.

The investigations are going to be devastating to Trump because they are going to be public hearings and lots of Trump’s associates ratting him out.

Let the information get out there and then talk about impeachment.

[LBM20]

5. Need devasting crimes while IN OFFICE to even think about it. R's control the Senate.

[YessirAtsaFact]

9. He committed numerous crimes in 2016

He is a security nightmare because he is compromised by Russia, the Saudis and god knows who else.

He has obstructed justice on a regular basis and he’s using the office to enrich himself.

He violates his oath of office every time he attacks the press.

Grounds won’t be an issue.

It all depends on if this news breaks through the right wing echo chamber and bubba wakes up and smells the treason.

4. And Yet There Are House Members

who are trying to organize a coup against her.

[LBM20]

6. Not a "coup." This is democracy. They get to vote on it. Leadership in Congress is not a monarchy.

I am very pleased with Pelosi's message. However, she is also, fair or unfair, a polarizing figure nationally. Is it time for a change? She has been in leadership for a LONG time.

[dansolo]

7. I suspect whoever you'd like to replace her with would be just as polarizing

She's effective, and she doesn't give a shit what the Republicans think of her.

[LBM20]

8. Nothing personal, but it is about time for some change. Cheri Bustos and Tim Ryan are both good.

[LanternWaste]

16. How about changing from bumper stickers to supporting your premise with objective number

How about changing from bumper stickers to supporting your premise with objective numbers and evidence?

Nothing personal, but fortune cookies and t-shit slogans are pretty damned meaningless

[TrishaJ]

12. And that's why she's the polarizing figure.

She's been in leadership a long time and she is a woman. She has been demonized by the GOP and GOP controlled media. Just like Hillary Clinton.

Replace her and then you can expect her replacement to be demonized in the same way.

[Me.]

15. RYan & Rice Have Had It In For Pelosi For A Long Time

even before he lost when he ran against her. And the fact that she has been in leadership for a long time speaks to her experience. The question Rice & Ryan can't answer to others is if not her who. Also, the reason she has been the focus of so much negativity is because the Cons don't want her in a leadership position and have been trying to get rid of her. Ryan, Mr. Corporatist, and the others are only giving the Cons what they want.

10. Excellent Message

The middle class issues protect/help people's lives. While the investigation is needed to protect our government. That's why we need both.

And maybe we can leverage the intensity of the investigation with support for some of the legislation we want to pass. Such a deal may be the only way to get 45's attention. Let's deal with him the way the Russians do.

11. Issue #1 - Addressing what this "middle class" even is

When we've got people one missed paycheck away from bankruptcy or homelessness AND millionaires with mansionS both calling themselves "middle class", we've got a problem.

[Autumn]

13. It's like 250 thousand a year isn't it? I remember that number from the last time

the middle class was a concern.

[ck4829]

14. Something like that. We need to go in remembering that class is a social construct

Race and gender are social constructs as well but they don't played around with as much... but class is this cranked up to 11. Republicans defined whoever benefits from their tax cuts as "middle class" even if they were wealthy.
