If Pelosi replicates Cersei Lannister's walk of atonement, will we start winning ruby red seats?

I'm talking like an R+20 kind of seat. If not, can we stop falling for the GOP's character assassination games and get back to work? Please?

... if she then blew up all of her enemies and ascended to the Iron Throne, we'd all be cheering.

We have a DUer that has agreed to take ownership for these four devastating losses caused by the Liberal Claw of Nancy Pelosi and not "doing what it takes" to win them. We don't have to sweat them anymore! Yay!

Scrolling through the Latest page and omg, it's like Faux News out there with the anti-Pelosi bullshit. I marvel at how many DUers feed regularly at the trough of corporate media. By the looks of it the number is very high.

Sad.

I think it's really dangerous (and naive) to think that Republicans would suddenly stop attacking whomever replaces Pelosi. As if some mythical "fresh face" would somehow get a pass. It's what they do, and what they always will continue to do, and until we confront that head on, we'll continue to keep spinning our wheels.

Pelosi has been a thorn in their side for almost three decades. Asking her to step aside would be a gift to Republicans.

But I don't anticipate it would have any significant impact on Doolittle Raid type endeavors.

but unlike those attacking Pelosi, Pelosi cares about achievements for Americans and understands that half a loaf is better than none.
