...I trust Nancy...

1. But, but, but.......

Pelosi is a smart politician.

[whathehell]

2. Good on her .

[applegrove]

3. Democratic House and Senate people running in 2020 can say they would

be for a public option or improved obamacare or that they would support medicare for all. They don't have to follow Bernie to a T. There is room.

[PETRUS]

6. That's a fact.

And a good point.

[Kurt V.]

7. Exactly this.

[Sympthsical]

12. I doubt Sanders would manage M4A

But he will push from the Left. I’m ok with seeing where that gets us if he’s our nominee.

I think Obama compromised too easily with the ACA, but I also understand the reality of no supermajority and Lieberman’s fucking of the party.

[applegrove]

13. They got what they could get. There was a small window. They did it. nt

[Sympthsical]

16. That's about where my thoughts on the matter are

I just wish Obama had started negations a bit further to the Left. You don’t start compromise negations from halfway to the middle. Obama did. I feel like we could’ve gotten more.

But if Sanders wins, I’ll guess will see if I’m right or wrong. This is going to really depend on how Congress shakes out.

20. Republicans held up Al Franken's win in the Senate. Then Ted Kennedy got sick.

Then it was midterms. They only had months to get it done. Heartbreaking all the way around.

[Sympthsical]

23. Yeah, that's what I mean about the supermajority

Then Lieberman drove the stake in.

Dick.

[applegrove]

24. I forget that part. What did Lieberman do again?

[emulatorloo]

27. Refused to vote for public option if I remember correctly. Also would not vote for compromise, whi

which was an early Medicare buy in.

[applegrove]

28. Such a dissapointment. I so liked Lieberman and wanted him to be VP

in 2000.

[BilltheCat]

4. I'm confused

Does this mean the far left is still on board to primary Pelosi for being a God awful establishment Democrat or not?

[Dragonfli]

8. That's an adorable little straw man, did you build it yourself?

[HarlanPepper]

15. Oops

Link to tweet

?s=21

[Dragonfli]

25. I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were responding to Shahid Buttar, oh wait,

Still a straw man, you just pasted a picture of someone on it.
Unless that is you really believe the OP is him, could be, low post count, doesn't know what a straw man is even while employing one.
It might be possible you are that uninformed....I guess.

edited to add, no you think the OP is Susan Sarandon, my mistake, thinking that s not nearly as silly

[doc03]

5. What could she have said without appearing to take sides in the election? nt

[MoonRiver]

11. Exactly

[sheshe2]

14. Bingo!

[Bleacher Creature]

9. I have serious concerns about Sanders and serious respect for Pelosi.

This genuinely makes me feel better.

[empedocles]

18. Yep

[ecstatic]

10. Criticizing him is counterproductive.

Pelosi understands that and isn't going to play into it.

[empedocles]

17. More significantly, the Speaker said, of trump on the virus - of trump, 'he doesn't

know what he's talking about.'

[YOHABLO]

19. It's NY Post. I don't know who's writing this but here's what she said:

“I think whoever our nominee is, we will enthusiastically embrace and we will win the White House, the Senate and the House,”

[bucolic_frolic]

21. She will support the party no matter what. NO DISCORD.

Her House majority is solid. They improved their popularity by impeaching Trump. Her members will have coat tails. Bernie won't have any. Doesn't mean he can't win, just not likely.

22. and...

The Hill, 2-26-2020

" Pelosi says she'd be comfortable with Sanders at top of ticket "

" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday said she would be comfortable with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as the Democratic presidential nominee in November.

The congresswoman was asked the question as she was leaving a closed-door meeting in the House basement Wednesday morning.

She replied with one word: "Yes." "

...comfortable...

...I trust Nancy...

[Me.]

26. I Trust Nancy Too, To Be Diplomatic

she never shows her hand when it isn't necessary. Of course she said that....

[underthematrix]

29. I truly hope this calms down everyone especially the Bernie folks.
