Trump Promises To Support Pelosi If She Faces Revolt From Democrats

In all fairness, Nancy Pelosi deserves to be chosen Speaker of the House by the Democrats. If they give her a hard time, perhaps we will add some Republican votes. She has earned this great honor! 5:31 AM - 7 Nov 2018 10,605 replies 10,068 retweets 45,356 likes

He also called her to congratulate her on her party’s victory in the elections late Tuesday evening.

The president’s offer of Republican votes for Pelosi’s speakership bid in the event she faces a revolt within her caucus is particularly noteworthy. Pelosi has long been a divisive national figure and was a major foil for the president on the campaign trail. Many House Democrats in close districts distanced themselves from Pelosi and promised not to support her bid to become the next speaker if the Democrats were to retake control of Congress.

Note, this is an offer to help elect her speaker if she can't get enough Dem votes, not a promise to vote with her on other things. Is he expecting a quid pro quo, or is this just deep 2018 politics? Wonder if some dems will vote against P because Trump is "helping."

Got to me “more” to this. Maybe Levin will explain it tonight, or Rush this afternoon.

He is certainly throwing some very interesting “mud” into the Rat water!

I think we should sit back and see how “The Art of the Deal” unfolds here!

Nancy Pelosi is the most hated politician in America, the President doesn’t want her to disappear.

She’s senile, on senility meds, and will make great fodder for Trump.

He is trolling the Democrats hard.....

Considering the fact that Nancy is showing signs of dementia....having her appear weekly on the Sunday political talk shows is a super-positive for the GOP. I personally don’t think that the Party elites want her to be the Speaker. I’m also of the mind that she’s only going to be around for 12 months....retiring early in 2020...to let some new district player get into the seat by appointment.

“Wonder if some dems will vote against P because Trump is ‘helping’”

I think that’s exactly the type of “help” he has in mind. Pelosi would only accept it as a last resort, I think. Perhaps she will be that desperate.

Pelosi has been one of the best campaigners for Republicans just by being Pelosi. It doesn’t surprise me at all that Trump wants her as Speaker. That way whoever they put against him in 2020 he can run against Pelosi. She’s electoral poison.

I think this will work out well for Trump.

Now he has the perfect foil.

Just when they think they have him on the defensive he springs a clever offensive move on them

He wants Pelosi for a punching bag. It’s obvious. “Greeks bearing gifts.”

Pelosi is one of the few Democrats that is eschewing impeachment.

I think Trump has been prepared for this for awhile.

Exactly. Plus, she’s crazy, out of touch, San Fran Nan, easily baited, usually wrong, etc.

We NEED San Fran Nan as speaker.

Trump tells them, “we are going to HELP you grab that anchor before you jump overboard.”

Troll master.
