WASHINGTON — Pushing back on criticism from fellow party members after the Democratic loss in a Georgia special election this week, Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she’s “worth the trouble” as Democrats’ leader in the House.

“I feel very confident about the support that I have in my caucus,” Pelosi said at a press conference in the Capitol after Republicans featured her in almost every ad attacking Democrat Jon Ossoff in the Georgia congressional race which he lost Tuesday.

“I think I’m worth the trouble, quite frankly,” she concluded. “I love the fray.”

Definitely - keep her on!

[Enchante]

Yeah but I want them to keep her right where she is! She doesn’t do them any good, and might be actively harmful for many districts (one would hope).

[thoughtomator]

If even she is describing herself as “trouble”, this is the beginning of an end that may come sooner rather than later.

Pelosi has an ERA of 9.0 and the DNC is already down by 4 runs with bases loaded in the 1'st inning and no outs and the on deck hitter was the lead batter this inning for the RNC. There is nobody warming up in their bullpen and the DNC leadership is in a conference on the mound with the home crowd shouting, "LEAVE HER IN, LEAVER HER IN, LEAVE HER IN," and the plate umpire is about to go out and break up the pitchers conference. The RNC big hitter Trump is batting .500 this season hit the grand slam earlier this inning, his first as a rookie swinging the bat in this town.

Prob is, they found out what was in it.

[equaviator]

I’m looking for vintage photos of her in artistic poses. I want to send her a video tribute.

[Snickering Hound]

I see it more as Patriots and Jets. And Mark Sanchez is the best you got.

[Old Yeller]

Worth it to the Republicans.

[scottinoc]

You go, girl! Hope she campaigns with every nominee in 2018, especially in red states.

[Old Yeller]

Embrace the Suck, Demwits.

[Liberty Valance]

When 9 percent Nancy speaks the democrat plantation listens.

[cgbg]

Then she throws another wild pitch!

[Secret Agent Man]

I guess shes found her next campaign slogan.

[Zathras]

This is a battle between Obama-BLM-VJ and the Clinton Machine.
Pelosi is in the Clinton Camp.
VJ wants her OUT.

[Two Kids' Dad]

Curious what the ‘9 percent’ is in reference to.

thanks in advance.

[BlueYonder]

I can’t name one Pub with half the spine of her.

[jospehm20]

I hope the rats keep her.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Spoken just like a hooker.

[Mat_Helm]

More like Nancy still thinks she can stop Republicans!

[NEMDF]

Yep, I think they should just keep her on. She is such a great leader. She’s still got a few more years in her, IMHO.
