Trump tweeted Thursday morning as some Democrats call for their House minority leader's ouster after Tuesday's special election loss in Georgia.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A dozen or so House Democrats want Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to go after a dispiriting loss in a House election in Georgia.
Republicans are attacking the most powerful and competent Democratic woman, just like they did to Hillary Clinton - and women are in no mood for the Democratic Party to stab them in the back by betraying Nancy Pelosi just because Republicans don't like her.
Democrats are still reeling from Hillary Clinton's loss in the presidential election previous year, and this week Democrat Jon Ossoff lost in Georgia's special election to replace former Rep. Tom Price - who is now secretary of Health and Human Services. And after Republican Karen Handel pulled out the win, the leadership-backed superPAC said using the Democratic leader prominently was one of its most effective tactics. The two have repeatedly sparred, with Schumer most recently releasing a video parodying the president's praise-filled cabinet meeting. "Time to move forward and win again", tweeted South Carolina Democratic congressional candidate Joe Cunningham on June 21.
Half of Democrats (49 percent) view Pelosi favorably, while 1 in 4 Democrats (26 percent) have an unfavorable view of her.
'We know know exactly how to run against a Nancy Pelosi-led party, ' he continued.
As for the Democrats, they should grab their party donkey by the tail and look their future squarely in the face.
Ryan, Pelosi's opponent last fall, said that Pelosi's continued role as the GOP's favorite bogeyman makes it "a heck of a lot harder" for Democrats as they try to notch victories in the GOP-friendly districts they will need to win next year.
Death toll from Pakistan attacks climbs to 73
At least 55 people were killed in two explosions in the north-western Pakistan town of Parachinar. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the attacks, saying terrorists were attacking soft targets.
'I don't think it's fair, ' Ryan told Don Lemon.
Moulton is one of the House Democrats who has been most vocal in calling for a new generation of leadership. But to suggest they need new leadership when they are advancing on safe Republican territory and forcing Republicans to spend millions to defend safe districts is purely emotional.
"The House was in play before the Georgia race". Some users on both sides of the political spectrum were in agreement that fresh leadership is needed in the party.
In Georgia's 6th District, the Democrat candidate Rodney Stooksbury spent nothing and won 124,917 votes in November of 2016.
Democrats lost a heartbreaker of a special election Tuesday in Georgia. In 15 years, she's raised nearly $570 million for Democratic campaigns.
"Defeating Republicans in districts that they have traditionally held requires doing something drastically different than establishment Democrats have done before - specifically, running on a bold progressive vision and investing heavily in direct voter contact", said Jim Dean, chair of Democracy for America. "To come within a hair's breath of winning that seat is nothing short of extraordinary", said House Democratic Caucus Vice Chairwoman Linda Sánchez, D-Calif.
And no wonder. The party that wants to be thought of as pro-civil rights, pro-equality, pro-people has turned a corner in recent times, smack into Anti Territory.
