WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 04: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) (R) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) members of the House and Senate Budget, Ways and Means and Finance committees hold a news conference critical of the Republican tax and budget plan at the U.S. Capitol October 4, 2017 in Washington, DC. The Congressional Democrats called on President Donald Trump to keep his campaign promises to not cut entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicaid. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
Bill Pascrell, a New Jersey Democrat serving in Congress for over twenty years, is predicting that no matter the results of the 2018 midterm elections, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will step aside.
“I would expect that we would have, win or lose, new leadership by January 1, 2019,” Pascrell told the Atlantic. “She would love nothing more than to win, and then she’ll get out.”
The rest of America would love nothing more than for her to simply ‘get out.’
Pascrell has been a Democrat who has sided with and sided against Pelosi over their many years together in Congress, making such a prediction benefit neutral.
The Political Insider recently reported that numerous Democrats had been berating Pelosi’s leadership skills. One who spoke on the condition of anonymity even said, “For us to go into this election with her as our leader is absolute insanity.”
“No one in their right mind would think this is a good idea.”
To be fair, people in their ‘right mind’ aren’t exactly overflowing in the Democrat Party.
Pelosi has previously promised threatened to retire before, saying she had considered doing so if Hillary Clinton had won the presidency in 2016.
“If Hillary had won, I was ready to go home,” Pelosi said in a March 2017 interview.
It doesn’t matter really, the Democrats are always prepared to replace one vile leader with another. Who could take Pelosi’s spot if she does leave in 2019?

amen to that brother
NOOOOOO. Don't get rid of Nancy Pelosi. She's one of the GOP's greatest assets as everytime she opens her mouth, Democrats cringe.
WAIT! You want to replace her with Maxine Waters??????? OH, super! That would be even better
I'll wager that her heart is made from the same granite as the curling stones in the Olympics. California has several just like her for replacements.
I really feel bad about the good folks trapped in the realm of the extreme left coast. Wouldn't it be great if they kept them at home instead of forcing them on the rest of the nation.
That the Democratic party would allow this evil, vile woman to represent them in the first place show you just how stupid they can be. She's from California and WE don't want her. Someone, please, take this witch off of our hands. We'll even throw in Gov. Brown to sweeten the pot.
