Why do any otherwise intelligent people think that Nancy Pelosi

[Red Oak]

61. I think that you are correct in that 2018 could be a tipping point

My concern is that with Pelosi/Schumer leading us we will, yet again, have very little to offer in the way of meaningful change to those that abandoned our party this year.

Pelosi/Schumer have the constituency of Wall Street. They will partner with the republicans to pass tax decreases, maybe get some infrastructure spending (pennies on the dollar of corporate taxes actually owed), then sit back and let the republicans work on the social safety net, all the while telling us that they couldn't stop it, they don't have the power. BS.

The republicans used a simple technique for eight years - they said to Obama - "Go fuck yourself, the answer is no". In contrast, our leadership team will "work" with the other side to make sure Wall Street is well taken care of. Just watch.

If we had a leadership team that was leading the way for the economic revival of America and doing so in a fully inclusive way and protecting the social safety net, we would win in a landslide. This goes against Wall Street however, so it will not happen with Pelosi/Schumer.
