They haven’t learned anything from this election. Oh well, makes it easier for a 2nd Term for President Elect Trump in 2020.

House Democrats re-elected Nancy Pelosi as their leader Wednesday, ratifying the status quo in a changing Washington despite widespread frustration over the party’s direction.

That disenchantment manifested itself in 63 lawmakers supporting Pelosi’s opponent, Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, in the secret-ballot vote. That was by far the largest defection Pelosi has suffered since she began leading House Democrats in 2002.

Still, the California lawmaker had declared ahead of time that more than two- thirds of the caucus was supporting her, and she won almost exactly two-thirds with 134 votes. It was a testament to her vote-counting skills and to her ability to hang onto power even in dark days for Democrats, as they confront a capital that will be fully controlled by the GOP next year.

They've certainly learned that far more people voted against Trump than for him...

Are you trying to say they just now learned that America isn't a Democracy? People that stupid shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Regardless of how the POTUS is elected, his or her ability to apply his or her most powerful weapon, i.e. *moral suasion*, is, most certainly, a reflection of their popularity.

Were all the illegal dim votes factored out, Trump won the popular vote by a landslide also.

Bubbette! has negative moral standing to do anything,and Trump is suspect.

Before them it was AA Bathhouse Barry,and before him it was Clinton's and Bushes.

Seems to me morality moved and left no forwarding address a couple of decades ago.

BS. Hillary got 3 million votes from illegal aliens and 1.2 million from dead people. Dems also get millions of double votes. And Jewish owned voting machines switched votes from Trump to Hillary.

Why don't you give up on the Hillary pro Globalist propaganda?

No, America is NOT a democracy. It was founded as a republic since the Founding Fathers knew their history and knew democracy always collapsed into massive bloodshed and horror.

I met LM for a lovely lunch a few years back when I was out on the West Coast for biz...she is, indeed, a Mom and I am, indeed, a man...she may have thought me a little odd because we met around 1 and after going to bed around 11PM the night before I got up @ 330AM to work NY hours...so I may have been a little buzzed from a lack of sleep...so there may have been some misplaced laughter from me...

I had a very good dungeness crab *wrap* that garnished with tomato, red onion, lettuce and some sort of avocado based dressing...

IIRC, I had one beer and then a couple Arnold Palmer's...

I don't remember what LM had...but I do recall we had quite a pleasant time in each other's company...

Is that movie any good? I know it was a hit at the time.... Ha ha, rockers and other hippies bitterly denounced society but offered no alternative except ear- splitting music, rampant substance abuse and sexual anarchy. "We sing about beauty and we sing about peace at ten thousand dollars a throw".....

It's crap as a movie, except for shock value and some hilarious camp, but really pretty good as a proper opera.

When I resurfaced after disappearing Christine exclaimed, "Jim! When you disappeared we all feared the worst."

I was sick with bacterial meningitis and out of action for quite a few years. The meningitis wiped out much of my memory. Thankful it is slowly returning. ;)

That is why the Clintonistas are so bent out of shape.

If Hildabeast were in the Oval Office it would be business as usual for the Clinton Crime Cult.

Maybe now the investigations into Uranium One can get started and we can watch them squirm in their chairs. ;)
