Pelosi: Democrats Will Take Congress, White House In 2016
Click here for reuse options!Their days are numbered. I know that in two years, I know we’ll have a Democratic Congress and a Democratic president,” she told reporters at her weekly press conference.“I’d like it to be in two months,” she added.
Asked if she was conceding that Republicans would hold the House in November’s midterms, Pelosi insisted, “No, I’m not.”
“I think we’ll do okay,” said Pelosi, who was headed to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to discuss the elections…
“They have no ideas. They have nothing to offer the American people in terms of job creation, financial stability, lowering the cost of education, raising the minimum wage, stopping their tax breaks for their friends to send jobs overseas,” she said.
Pelosi said voters weren’t responding to the GOP agenda.
“We’ve out-mobilized them; we’ve out-recruited them; we’ve outraised them to a shameful extent. They’re desperate,” she said.

She’s an astute observer, but I can’t help thinking that this is a little bit of whistling past the graveyard.

Yeah, I’m afraid I’m not nearly that confident.
R.J. Carter October 2nd, 2014 at 09:12
Well, she’s never been wrong about that before… /rolls eyes/

I think Nancy Pelosi may need an intervention, she’s obviously in stone-cold denial. The First Step is recognizing you have a problem… like a Congress about as popular as Ebola, with an HIV twist.

She’s probably right.
The majority of Americans agree with Democrats on the issues, even when they don’t know it as in tax cuts, foreign policy, ACA (Look at how many in Kentucky love KyNect, hate Obamacare and don’t know it’s the same thing).
I think the problem is that we seem to be locked into this cycle where the younger people, who are less driven by emotional, partisan incentives, know what they want, and work for it in the big national elections.
Then they pat themselves on the back and think that their job is done and stop paying attention. That means that they have no idea why they did not get what they voted for.
(It’s REALLY hard when THEY are the ones who are busy, and don’t follow
what is the increasingly more difficult to follow sausage making of legislation.)
They usually do not vote in midterms.(“I just DID that, I don’t know any of these people now”, they often say.)
The older people who are driven more by emotional, partisan incentives, (Remember the “visceral givers”?), DO vote in EVERY election, often out of revenge for losing the last election.
The young voters don’t realize that they cede power to their opponents along with the ability to get anything that they voted for, done, and thus become more apathetic.
The older voters, vote for people who make everything worse, usually leading to a backlash in the next big national election, where the inactive majority awakens with a “how did things get so bad, where did these crazy people come from?”alert, gets active again in the next presidential election and thus the cycle repeats.

No they don’t. The majority of Americans do not like Obamacare and think Obama is a weak president (especially on foreign policy). Also, Democrats running for office this year are distancing themselves from the chief Democrat. Why is that?

Not true at all.
As for the ACA; The majority approve of all the individual elements, but don’t know what Obamacare is.
Examples;
In the most recent Kaiser poll;
The July poll finds that fewer than four in ten Americans (37 percent) are
aware that people who got new health insurance under the ACA had a choice between private health plans, while about a quarter (26 percent) think the newly insured were enrolled in a single government plan and about four in ten (38 percent) say they don’t know enough to answer the question.
53 percent who say they saw any political ads about the law
in the past month, more than twice as many say the ads they saw were mostly in opposition to the law rather than mostly in support of it (19 percent versus 7 percent).
And….”To date, most Americans have been personally unaffected by the new health care law,” said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.From Kaiser; most Americans continue to report no personal experience with the law to date. Add that to; Most people get info from least trusted sources.

As for foreign policy; Show me a poll where the majority does not agree with Obama.
As for “weak”… They said the same thing about Eisenhower, while agreeing with everything he was doing.
Are you referring to the same people who knew in 2001 and 2002 that NO 9/11 hijackers were Iraqi, yet said (by 45%) that all or most were Iraqi in 2003?
The 70% who approved of the war on Iraq in 2003 and said it was a mistake and disapproved by 2008?
The majority who say US has lost respect in the world, while the same same polls done internationally show the opposite; that respect for the US has increased since 2009?
You have to look more deeply at the internals of the polls and not just the superficial headlines that changed according to who was on the last Sunday shows.
That’s why they were so sure that Romney was going to win.
As David Frum said; “Republicans have been Fleeced, Exploited And Lied To’ by a Conservative Entertainment Complex”

2016? Hey dimwit Nancy, you have to get trough the election of 2014 first.

2016? Hey dimwit Nancy, you have to get trough the election of 2014 first.
_______
Why?
She knows that the majority of the voting public only votes in presidential elections.
That’s how the minority view wins in Congressional elections.
Suzanne McFly October 2nd, 2014 at 09:25
I hate how dismissive they are of this election, I agree with OldLefty, most of us don’t vote in off-Presidential elections, but people get out and vote when they are pissed and the policies the right is promoting regarding the disenfranchisement of voters should be pissing a lot of us off.

Although there is a possibility that the GOP may take the senate based on what’s going on in Iowa. The right wing election strategy really hasn’t changed.
