Pelosi: Comey dashed Dems’ chances to win House majority

If Rep. Pelosi's prime takeaway from the election is that it was Comey's fault that the House didn't swing Democratic, then we need a new leader for the Democrats in the House.

Comey didn't help the Democrats, that is certain, but there are other major issues that the Democratic party needs to face up to and Nancy Pelosi is not the leader to do it.

We didn't lose seats in the rust belt because of Comey as the prime actor.

1. Agreed completely.

We've been pelted with a slew of excuses now-- everything but the actual problems. Because the actual reasons we lost don't look good for the party establishment.

2. One can opine that without Comey Hillary might

have won. There's an argument there. But the House? Really? Even Pelosi doesn't believe that.

3. Watch the video

We need a new House leader.

Rep. Pelosi is not the leader to help us win back the House.

5. I just did, and was commenting only on the headline and what

you said.

Once I watched it, there was nothing in there from Pelosi about thinking Comey cost them the House. If the Hill is going to go with that sort of headline, they need to use a clip that actually backs it up. They didn't.

4. That's not what she said

Did you watch the video?

6. Yes, she did

and the real kicker: http://ijr.com/2016/11/738377-nancy-pelosi-doesnt-think-democrats-should-blame-themselves-for-losing-the-election-so-badly/

We need a new leader in the House.

Given our long string of election losses, we very much need a new leader in the House.

7. No she didn't

In none of those clips does she say that the Democrats would have won the House.
