Pelosi: "FABULOUS" Bernie Sanders "Might Win The Nomination"

[Segami]

"It would be fabulous to have a woman president," Pelosi said. "You can't ask somebody to vote for somebody because of their gender."

"Hillary Clinton is a very qualified person who happens to be a woman, but I haven't endorsed anybody yet," Pelosi said.

“Bernie Sanders was my colleague in the House. We voted against DOMA, you know, against all of those things people are subjecting to scrutiny now. He's fabulous, and he has a very important tonic for the country and for the Democratic Party because he has ideas," Pelosi said.

"He might win the nomination," she said. "I don't know that because in terms of the demographics of how popular she is in the minority community."

"Do you think it is possible that Bernie Sanders wins the nomination?" the moderator asked.

"You never know," Pelosi said. "And I am a big fan of [former Maryland Governor] Martin O'Malley's as well. He's just fabulous."

1. Overall

When it comes down to the national vote, Bernie is the best candidate for our side. He appeals to nearly everyone, while O'Malley and the others have huge negatives.

[elleng]

9. Oh right,

Governor O'Malley has HUGE negatives, after all, he ACCOMPLISHED the goals OTHER Dems want and SEEK.

Martin O'Malley:

1. Ended death penalty in Maryland
2. Prevented fracking in Maryland and put regulations in the way to prevent next GOP Gov Hogan fom easily allowing fracking.
3. Provided health insurance for 380,000
4. Reduced infant mortality to an all time low.
5. Provided meals to thousands of hungry children and moved toward a goal for eradicating childhood hunger.
6. Enacted a $10.10 living wage and a $11. minimum wage for State workers.
7. Supporter the Dream Act
8. Cut income taxes for 86% of Marylanders (raised taxes on the rich).
9. Reformed Maryland’s tax code to make it more progressive.
10. Enacted some of the nation’s most comprehensive reforms to protect homeowners from foreclosure.

Mother Jones magazine called him the best candidate on environmental issues.

10. Good post!

[1StrongBlackMan]

17. But ... But ... Black people (that elected him to multiple Mayoral and Gubernatorial terms) ...

hate him for enacting, at their requests/demands, the crime control measures that cleaned up their communities.

It must be true ... I read it on DU.

[elleng]

18. Oh MAN!

[Cali_Democrat]

2. Now Pelosi is being pulled out from under the bus.

Good to see.

I've always liked her a lot.

[Autumn]

3. One thing about Nancy. She covers all of

her bases.

[Fearless]

5. Definitely the politicians' politician.

[Autumn]

7. Oh yes, isn't she just "FABULOUS"

[Fearless]

8. To be fair, to get elected in San Fransisco it couldn't hurt

*Note to fun alerters* This message is gay person approved snark.

[Autumn]

12. I remember when she because Speaker of the House. That was

a light in a long long tunnel of darkness. I sat there with tears running down my face watching that.

[Fearless]

13. I can see no greater example of why we need term limits

Someone comes in an idealist with great ideas and drive... and gets bogged down over the years in politics and such. It would help a lot.

[Autumn]

15. You nailed it right there. Four years in most cases is too damn long.

We people lose as soon as they decide that looking out for their careers comes first.

[Segami]

14. At 75...

She looks 'maaahvalous'

[Autumn]

16. Any woman in power at that age looks great. They can afford maintenance more so than the

75 year old door greeter at Wal Mart who is trying to supplement their SS.

[Fearless]

4. I believe she called O'Malley "Fabulous" in that quote.

[tularetom]

6. Nice to know all our candidates are "fabulous"

I'd never support anyone who wasn't.

[Sheepshank]

11. "And I am a big fan of Martin O'Malley's as well. He's just fabulous."

all of our candidates are fabulous. No matter which Dem gets into the Whitehouse, the Dems win, the Republicans lose.

[riversedge]

19. As it should be. She is cheering on the Democrats. They are all fabullous--spot on Nancy.

Each has its own drawing points. We Democrats need to win in Nov 2016 or the USA is in huge trouble.

[JI7]

20. looks like she would be happy with any of them winning

[Uncle Joe]

21. I believe there is a diminishing return effect when one uses the same adjective to describe

everything under the sun in the same breath.

Having said that, I also believe Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Fudge ice cream is fabulous.

Thanks for the thread, Segami.

22. Heh,heh
