Most Republican voters say Nancy Pelosi shouldn't be House speaker: Joyce Alene's reply is spot on!

Democrats didn’t have a vote when Republicans picked Paul Ryan & Mitch McConnell.

1. Ain't that the truth? That should end their stupid comments, period. n/t

[DURHAM D]

2. Why would they waste time polling that?

Oh I know...Politico would do ANYTHING to create a negative story about Democrats.

[iluvtennis]

4. Agre with you, not just Politico though. Many of the pundits trying to create negativity against

the Dems. Won't even let us enjoy our blue wave victory.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Only 1/2 Dems want her btw

[brush]

26. Don't buy that. Any documentation on that?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. CNN poll.

[Demsrule86]

36. I don't buy that...have to see the poll...link? Not doubting you but doubting poll and don't care

anyway. She should be speaker.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. Hmmm actually, if reading right. More said no

40. Still don't buy it. Wonder if it's an online, cel, or landlines one. I'd like to see 538's results.

41. I definitely do. Everyone I know outside of DU

(which has a disordinate number of supporters)love and respect her...but want someone new. Why that makes you a crazy traitor lunatic here is beyond me. Why in the world can't we have differing opinions. That gets so old.

[brush]

42. Was that poll before the election? Seems disloyal to me to ditch someone...

who is already the leader and personally raised 49M that was distributed to candidates throughout the party which helped us to a huge victory.

She was the one who told candidates to run positive campaigns on healthcare, infrastructure and jobs and not to engage with arguing against trump and his insanity.

And speaking of that insanity, we certainly need her experience with the ins-and-outs of House procedural rules to guide the party as we now have the power to thwart trump's insanity.

I don't think those who want her out but don't have anyone even will to come forward to run against her are aware of the things I just mentioned.

Replacing her now is not smart.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

43. To you.

[brush]

44. FYI: The #FiveDumb..er ah...#FiveWhiteGuys just folded. Maybe you haven't heard.

Here's a link where you can learn about their capitulation:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

46. Thanks B. Think it's absurd. Absolutely zero

wrong with disagreeing. Blind faith is scary to me too.

[Demsrule86]

50. Without Nancy Pelosi, we would not have health care. She is a Goddess as far as I am concerned.

She gave up her majority to save millions of lives...so to those who want her gone (general comment not directed at you but to the fools on twitter etc) fuck off.

[erronis]

53. Way to stick to your point, LPMAD. Everyone I know outside of DU thinks she is doing a great job.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

54. Well...I am in a deep red state pocket of Dems ..perhaps

we see things more clearly? Since we have to seek out, debate, and then analyze information in a vacuum?

[Demsrule86]

49. I don't buy it...makes little sense.

Polls can be wrong. You shouldn't govern by polls anyway, and CNN and others love to push this narrative.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

55. One thing that makes zero sense here and has not

In all my years here

If we don't like poll results...it's a bogus poll. If we like results...poll credibility not a factor.

[Demsrule86]

56. Polls are no longer correct in many cases. I like to see the internals myself.

it is very difficult to poll these days as many don't answer calls if they don't recognize the number...the internal polls for some Ohio campaigns attempted contact with thousands of voters and got a handful of mostly older voters. This is being played out all over the country.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

57. Totally agree...yet it should work both ways. We should

Be skeptical of polls that favor our viewpoints too.

[Demsrule86]

58. I a not wasting my time looking at internals and doing the math for polls that show say support

for a Democrat...I take all polls with a grain of salt...but if a poll goes against the Democrat or common sense than I look.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

59. Here it is. I haven't looked at any methodology

As I should

[HurricaneWarning]

23. I agree

Chuck Todd said it wasn't a blue wave because we didn't put a blue governor in Ohio and Iowa. I changed the channel. I hate Chuck Todd.

[UTUSN]

3. K&R - like Ruben NAVARRETTE (Latino Uncle Tom) always advising what Dems should do!

[Wounded Bear]

5. Yeah, well I'm getting a little tired of...

Dems and the media having to listen to Repub opinions on what the party should do and why.

The Repub party just got anal probed in public, perhaps their opinions don't fucking matter.

[Dave Starsky]

8. No kidding. Fuck them all with a pool noodle.

At least 60% of Republicans would be against ANY Democrat being Speaker of the House, so who gives a shit what they think.

[dflprincess]

6. All the more reason to pick Pelosi nt

[Wounded Bear]

9. That's at least a part of why I want her...

If she's pissing them off, she must be doing something right.

[dflprincess]

11. Exactly

I think they're afraid of her.

[The Genealogist]

7. Why should anyone give a damn about who Republicans want as house speaker?

They are out of power in the House, they can go pound sand.

[Metro135]

14. Better, they can go f*ck themselves

[Nitram]

10. LOL, who thought this was relevant? Who thought this was news?

[iluvtennis]

12. The so called pundits who always want to create irrelevant strife.

[dalton99a]

13. Perfect.

Fuck 'em

[watoos]

15. That tells me we have the right person.

Republicans fear her.

[onecaliberal]

28. That

[Me.]

16. Why Would They?

She's their nightmare come true. And I pity any Dem who votes with them. As for those pundits who
worry', where have they been these last 2 years?

[LiberalFighter]

17. Why the hell did Politico even do a poll?

I responded to them with this.

Why is Politico even polling republican voters? Republican voters don't get to vote. Maybe there should be a poll asking if Politico is fake news?

[weissmam]

18. two words

who cares

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

27. HAhaha,

[Wellstone ruled]

20. When every Politico understands that

we Dems are on to their False Narratives and B S Polls,maybe they will wake the hell up. Sorry won't happen in my lifetime.

But the likes of Chuckie Toad and Tweety love to use them as a reference to their own brand of Botherism.

[iluvtennis]

21. Indeed. Chuckie Toad today had two of the new congresswomen with the "Are you voting

for Pelosi" BS. One of them fell in his "your constituents voted for you to vote against her". The other one said she still needed to speak with Pelosi and whoever else was running against here before she would make her decision.

[Wellstone ruled]

24. Had to

change the friggin channel to XM . When Toad went that route I had had enough of his Shit.

[iluvtennis]

30. Me too. Turned the TV to another channel. Don't tolerate the BS anymore.

[Wellstone ruled]

35. Just for

the ha has,checked Chuckies Bio. Interesting to say the least. Just another DC Social Climber. Sure did get a better understanding the how and why we see certain Right Wingers on MSNBC/NBC just by his Job title.

[demigoddess]

22. It is just their way of making democrats look bad to the republican base

say these things and the base just doesn't look at what she does. They assume it must be bad. They become more anti-democratic.

[djacq]

25. Come January 3rd, 2019, Nancy Pelosi can truly say;

"THIS IS MY HOUSE!"

[iluvtennis]

31. Yea and we cheer her, woohoo, woohoo

[C Moon]

29. Then that's another big vote FOR Pelosi!

[BootinUp]

39. Lol.

[Downtown Hound]

32. Here's another one:

We did not just mobilize a massive voting bloc culminating in an historic blue wave because we gave a shit about what Republican voters wanted.

[JHan]

33. bizarre poll

[malaise]

34. Who the fuck

Gives a fuck what they fucking think?

[Cha]

45. Most repub voters are BRAINWASHED!

& who gives a rat's ass?

[turbinetree]

47. The republicans can go and pound sand as far as I am concerned

January 4, 2019 cannot get fast enough.....................

[TeamPooka]

48. I want shove a grapefruit into the GOP's face Jimmy Cagney style.

[beachbum bob]

51. Who cares what republican voters think, geeze.

[Honeycombe8]

52. Yeah. Whether a Dem. supports her or not, in what universe is it relevant who Repubs want?

If anything, whoever they don't want the most, that's who it should be.

[NastyRiffraff]

60. Who the hell cares what Republicans think?

And why does Politico (and other media) waste time reporting this non-story?
