In Columbus, Nancy Pelosi tells struggling Ohio Democrats: 'You have to fight'

COLUMBUS, Ohio — If national Democrats were to write off Ohio in 2020, they would do so at their own peril, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in Columbus on Friday night at an Ohio Democratic Party event.

“It’s a great American state. It’s a state everyone wants to win. And to win, you have to fight. You have to fight to turn Ohio blue,” she said.

Pelosi was the keynote speaker at the Ohio Democratic Party’s Legacy Dinner, the state party’s major annual fundraising event. Over 1,000 people attended, a state party official said, filling a ballroom in the Columbus convention center.

The integrity of Ohio’s historical swing-state status was a major topic of conversation at the event, which was in part a two-hour call to action, and in part a two-hour pep talk. “Don’t Stop Believing,” by Journey aptly played over the loudspeakers multiple times over the course of the night.

Maybe there are those who feel she should show a little fight in the "now" more than living in next year.

I have voted, volunteered, and signed petitions, yet no politician seems to give a shit about Ohio unless they live here. I am tired of all of this, I will still vote Dem, but not since doing nothing has the exact result of working hard, then guess what I will be doing in 2020 if we don't get some attention right now,
