She has been a disaster for the Democratic Party.

I personally love her, but she has been used against the party by the Reps as they turned huge Dem majorities in both houses of Congress into huge Republican majorities.

Are we so stupid as a party to look at the state of things where we have unprecedented deficits in the House, in State governments, are in the minority in the Senate, lost the White House, and the Supreme Court, that this just seems all A OK?

The Democratic Party has not had less power in this country in a hundred years. But we keep the same leaders that have been at the helm during this last decade of decline, why? Can we not accept that most of the country looks at Nancy Pelosi and sees the exact caricature the Republicans have been painting Libs as to win election after election.

Trump's awfulness will not be enough, especially at the state level. State governments draw district lines, Reps hold more power at the state level that they ever imagined.
