Re your string of successful predictions:

1) Michigan was a squeak, not carried with ease. But, we’ll take it.

2) More to the point, do you see Keith Ellison becoming the head of the DNC, and if so, does his Congressional seat go to a Dem or to the GOP?

She has a safe seat and has presided over the destruction of the one time democrat majority in the House. I say let her run I expect to see a defection or two if she does get the job. Especially if they put in Ellison in at the DNC #clueless.

So... 1/3rd of the caucus opposes her!

Meanwhile on the other side of the swamp...

“Paul Ryan will oppose a proposal from some of his allies that would make it harder to force a vote to remove a sitting speaker”

Yeah, Baby!

She remembers what happened to Dennis Hastert.

She is not going quietly.

She is NOT the one to lead these dems out of the ditch she helped drive them in to.
Her, Harry Reid and of course obammy have been a disastor for them dems.

Bingo. The American people will never forget that moment when she used this bit of illogic on us all. It was downright insulting to our intelligence, not to mention hers. But honestly, I don’t think she understood what was implied by her own statement.
