Nancy Pelosi is going about her business during this post-election period, apparently oblivious to the storm that’s raging among her caucus members.
In truth, it isn’t so much that there is much disagreement between radical Democrats and the “moderates.” The problem, as the moderates see it, is “messaging.” The radicals make Democratic proposals sound, well, radical. Centrist Democrats want a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. They prefer to soft-pedal some of the more extreme rhetoric coming from the radicals while embracing the ideas. They don’t want to call it “government-run health care.” They want their health care plan to be “inclusive” and “affordable” and “fair.” Thus is their real intent hidden from the voter.
It worked in a lot of districts and failed in others. But one centrist Democrat had the audacity (or stupidity) to actually praise Donald Trump and says she won’t vote for Nancy Pelosi for speaker of the House. Rep.Elissa Slotkin of Michigan thinks it’s time to rein in the radicals and bring the party down to earth. Politico posted a long, revealing interview with the congresswoman.
“You know, the one thing I will say about Donald Trump,” Slotkin began, “he doesn’t talk down to anybody. He is who he is, but he doesn’t talk down to anyone. And I think that there is a certain voter out there because of that who identifies with him and appreciates him.” read more

I live in Slotkin’s district. I received a call a few months ago, a young girl asking if Slotkin could count on my vote. I asked the girl why she was going to vote for Slotkin…. 5 seconds of dead silence before she mentioned “Title 9.” When I asked what “Title 9” meant to her, she didn’t know. I then eXplained how title 9 had harmed men rather than helped women in collegiate athletics…. this nice young girl was dumb founded. Pretty comical.
So, someone who voted to impeach our President is to be believed when she says that she won’t vote for Pelosi.
Right!
“…It’s not just that he does things that the common man can kind of appreciate. And it’s not even because he uses kind of simplistic language—he doesn’t use complicated, wonky language, the way a lot of Democrats do…”
Arrogance and condescension disguised as empathy. Nice try.
I continue to remind people of the President’s snake analogy:
As the regular posters here may recall, the story is simple: a “tender woman” rescues a “vicious snake,” who repays her generosity by biting her. When the dying woman asks why, the snake explains with a grin, “Oh shut up, silly woman. You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.”
It applies.
WTF is a CENTRIST DEMOCRAT? Anymore being a democRAT os like being pregnant, you’re eithe a commie or you’re a republican.
So which unicorn is she voting for? I keep hearing that Pelosi is in trouble, but who’s Slotkin backing? Tulsi?
Who are these “Moderate Democrats”? I’ve never seen one.
A moderate Democrat does not support abortion in the ninth month, understands the necessity of borders, does not support medicare for all or paying for healthcare for illegals. A moderate Democrat would not stand by, mute, while their party steals an election. They would not have supported a laughable unsubstantiated political stunt of impeaching a president they don’t like. They love their country and want to see it prosper, not owned by the Chinese or bankrupted by out of control deficits. A moderate Democrat respects The Constitution and fights for the most basic of civil liberties like free speech, the right to worship and the right to protection by owning firearms.
Please, can someone show me who these mythological moderate democrats are?

Does not matter if they are Deamoncrats they are the enemy.
What someone says now and what they do then can be very different things.
It all depends on who is putting pressure for Pelosi and who is putting pressure against Pelosi and how they go about doing it.
A centrist democrat is a democrat, a moderate democrat is a democrat, after the last 16 or 20 years the democrats have totally exposed who they are, It’s impossible for a leopard or a traitor to change their spots.
Still, they stick together better than repubs.
I’ll believe it when you change party affiliation, Babe
