Pelosi to Colbert: "We will win. Democrats will carry the house."

Really wish she hadn't been booked. I can see this backfiring so damn easily.

Yep, it will be a red wave.

dont count your eggs before the basket.

Top 5 Videos Recorded Before the Disaster

I mean, for the house she's probably right. And that's what she confined her answer to so...

Why are you doing this a week before the god damn elections?

I'm not saying it won't happen but this just stresses me out.

What do you want her to say? We will lose?

Why are we doing this to ourselves.

No doubt this video will be played endlessly if Dems fall short.

Nobody cares about Pelosi

Well, they most likely will win the house.
How much of a victory that represents is up for debate.

Great. Let's make it official.

Some of you get spooked by everything

She the Dem leader of the House. She is supposed to show confidence.

Pelosi is hated as fuck. She's a rallying cry for pubs in general. But people getting twisted over this is... Kinda stupid.

Welp, there goes any chance of the Democrats winning! Lol

You fucking cunts are doing it again aren't you? You were tricked into hating Hillary, and now you're doing the exact same with Pelosi.

She is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT to say the Democrats will win, and as long as you cunts do your job like you catastrophically failed to do last time, then maybe they actually will.

The more I see her the more I hate her.

Shut up and urge people TO vote. Don't create complacency you washed up useless tool. Your fucking party has had 2 years to fight back and you've failed. 2 years to create a unified message and you've failed. 2 years to put up a real fight in the Senate and barring shocking, poll defying numbers you've failed (yes I know she's the Rep. Minority leader but she's also a leading member of the party).

Trying to take a victory lap at this point is everything wrong with the Democratic fucking Party and I'm so sick and tired of it.

What even is this thread

I don't know if you people are alt-right concern trolls, or just the most pessimistic people in the world, but a lot of people on this website are getting played.

I don't often say this, but the fact that we can't even have a puff piece interview without people freaking out thinking that'll cost the election is why the Republican party is so strong, and that their propaganda is as effective on the democrats as Republicans.

Pelosi should keep a lid on it. Telling people they have it in the bag is a dumb move when you have a voter base known for their apathy.

Pelosi is a non-factor this election.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/15/politics/pelosi-doesnt-matter-in-midterms/index.html

CNN's new poll suggests that Democrats may be overreacting. While the California Democrat remains a very unpopular figure, her impact on people's votes this November looks like it's going to be minimal.
Just 34% of registered voters say that Pelosi will be an extremely or very important factor in their vote this fall. That ranks dead last of the 10 factors asked about by CNN

gee whiz, mister. It's so strange for the minority leader to be projecting confidence ahead of an election.

Look, I think the reaction to this is dumb and Pelosi hate is over played, but when one in three voters sees just one person as an extremely important factor regarding their vote you're definitely a rallying cry for the opposition. Not THE most important factor, but that's not what I was trying to say.

What's she supposed to say? House is on fire and we don't have a chance?

I wonder what Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi have in common? Oh, right, both powerful women subject to many years of propaganda campaigns to fester a visceral hatred amongst the populace. Project confidence? Too arrogant. Be aggressive? Too bitchy. Don't make a joke? Too humorless. Make a joke? What the fuck is wrong with them.

They're not without flaws and deserved points of criticism, like literally any politician with half their accomplishments, but I wish any and every thread about either of them wasn't a constant shitstorm of unmoderated hot takes and drive-by posts.

God I hope she's right

I guess this is the part where Dems fall apart because a woman is projecting confidence and won't somebody please think of the "independent" voters' feelings.

No. All she needs to say is it's a tough fight and we need everyone to vote. Done.

Saying we will win makes it seem like it's in the bag, and it isn't.

This is why these idiots continue to lose.

Let's do it!

No one is showing apathy this election. People are voting. Yes nothing will be set in stone until after the 6th, but even the GOP has quietly given up on the House.

What nonsense. They had no power. None. Zero. What did you want them to do???

Dems are running an EXCELLENT campaign this year. I can't see how you could argue otherwise. They have kept their eye on the prize and focused on one key message: Healthcare. Healthcare. Healthcare.

Well good job to all

Now we can stay home on november 6th and play RDR 2

Do you see anyone going "Oh Pelosi says we'll win so I should forget about voting"? Like I'm trying to imagine a person in the political know enough to know that Pelosi even said this, and who Pelosi even is to change whether or not they vote and for whom over her saying "My party will win". Trump sure as hell didn't shy away from saying "I'll win" in 2016.

You are a problem, actually. People like you are a problem in the country who don't know what's right from what's wrong.

Trump can scream "Red wave! Red wave! Red wave!"

But the leader of the House Democrats can't express confidence in victory despite the polls giving us an 80%+ chance because it might ~~~activate the Republican base~~~.
