Democrat Jon Ossoff finished behind Republican Karen Handel in Georgia’s special House election on Tuesday night, but the real loser could turn out to be House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
While Pelosi is in no immediate danger of losing her House perch, she’s increasingly becoming the face of a period of Democratic stagnation that’s seen a once-mighty majority systematically deteriorate during her tenure.
“I think you’d have to be an idiot to think we could win the House with Pelosi at the top,” Rep. Filemon Vela, D-Tex., bluntly told Politico. “Nancy Pelosi is not the only reason that Ossoff lost, but she certainly is one of the reasons.”
As Speaker of the House in 2009, Pelosi presided over a 255-seat majority which was wiped out by the next election, when Democrats fell to 193 seats. In three election cycles since then, Pelosi’s party has netted a single House seat.
Those seeking to be part of the next Democratic majority are already seeking separation from Pelosi.
Democrat Joe Cunningham, running to unseat Republican Mark Sanford in South Carolina, tweeted soon after announcing his candidacy: “If elected, I will not vote for Nancy Pelosi for speaker. Time to move forward and win again.”

When you authorize 50 million dollars to be spent on a failed election, well, that is a major monetary loss. If she worked for a corporation, they would have fired her
Watching her on TV now... She has lost a lot of mental capabilities. She is proud of the loss in GA. Lots of stammering and hesitation... looking for words. She is probably gone... the democrat worms will turn on her. She does not personify leadership. Of course the black caucus will support her forever so if things go down hill they will have a whitey to blame.
The democrats are fools if they dump her. She is doing a great job.
I hope the keep her thru 2018
Ossoff lost. So it is Pelosi’s fault?
Hillary lost. So it is Russia’s fault.
I think I can detect a common thread.
They think Pelosi is the source of all their problems, while in reality every single one of them honestly believes that Trump won because of Russian hacking. The problem isn’t in their stars, it’s in their selves.
Yo, she has been stammering for years. To you and I it seems like stammering. But in reality, it is a series of highly sophisticated messages encrypted and only understandable to those who have had the special chip implanted. Chip is supplied by Soros, of course.
Left wing lowlifes are demented and need to project. Hating Trump is not offering relief, so its only natural they now project their craziness on Pelosi. Problem is that Pelosi is as crazy as themselves and projecting on another like minded lunatic won’t work.
They would have to rise up and dump her. No way she steps aside. She is power-tripping big time
Nancy is doing a fantastic job...for the GOP. Keep Nan onboard.
Some days I feel pretty sure that she is high on something.
Yeah, Botox.
That would explain Obama’s not being able to conduct a speech without a teleprompter also.
I hate Nancy but understand that we really really need her.
Why screw up and stop a good thing..?
she has unintentionally helped us I want her to keep doing what she’s doing.
she is our valuable weapon.
Couple weeks back she could not even get the name of the u.s. president correct.
we want and need more of that.
Do we want her replaced with somebody competent?
no.
she’s the perfect opposition.
I agree, she's a laughingstock, perfect for their leader.
The Black Caucus has 45 Members, nearly 25% of the entire Democrat Caucus in the House.
