Nancy Pelosi reveals her secret to predicting whether Trump and the GOP will go down in 2020

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has revealed how she plans to ensure sweeping Democratic wins in 2020 — and her simple metric for predicting their chances a year ahead of time.

Roll Call reported that during an annual retreat, Pelosi told fellow Democrats that she can “predict how well we will do in an election one year in advance because one year in advance is where you see where the president of the party is,”

“If he’s still in the 40’s,” the House Speaker told her caucus, “they have a big problem.”

During the meeting, Pelosi also touted the importance of incumbent Democrats holding multiple town halls to hear from and get in front of constituents — a move later used by Rep. Antonio Delgado (D-NY) in an ad released Thursday.



“We won in November [2018] because we owned the ground. We didn’t give one grain of sand in terms of getting out the vote,” the House Speaker said. “We disciplined our message like a jackhammer: for the people, lower health care, bigger paychecks, cleaner government. That was our message. And we had the resources necessary.”

Forthcoming Iran invasion. That will probably be timed for sweeps week to get Trump the best ratings. After the Iran attack he will declare Democrats unpatriotic for not supporting him.

Right now I do not see that happening but what would I know? A ground war with Iran would be no cakewalk. The world wide economic disruption and ensuing chaos would be tremendous.

Also the country is weary of another war. We've lost enough lives in Iraq for a war that we were lied to about the reason. We know now how the idiot-in-chief lies, so why would the people believe any reason he has for starting an unwanted war.

tRump doesn't need everyone to be on board, he only needs his brainwashed 40% to get riled up enough to drown out any dissent. Faux Noise will play those people like a Stradivarius.

mind, he can even “beat” Putin. Don’t put it past him to do something that stupid like bombing Iran. Nothing is more important to him than winning in everything he does. He even thinks he’s beating God right now.
