Pelosi: 'If I Am Not Elected Speaker, Millions Will Die'
WASHINGTON, D.C.—As rumors swirled that top Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi may not retain her leadership of House Democrats, the congressional leader offered a dire warning to her fellow Democratic congresspeople and the nation at large: "if I am not elected Speaker of the House, millions will die."She said the death toll from her being ousted as the Dems' top congressperson would be "ten times larger" than the deaths that resulted from Trump's election, the Republican tax cuts, and Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court.
"This will kill more people than global warming, the net neutrality repeal, and Republicanism combined," she said gravely. "I will retain power at all costs in order to save us from this terrible fate—even if it kills Democrats' chances at reinventing the party for good."
Pelosi reminded those gathered of how correct her predictions on everything else have been. She pointed out that the death toll from Kavanaugh's nomination was in the hundreds of millions, just as she had warned. She then reminded people of her similarly accurate predictions on every single thing the Republicans have done over the past two years.
"When have I ever been wrong about this kind of thing?" she said.

Sad enough many questionable seats lost in the house considering the gains in the senate. Truly doesn't make sense. With out a full audit every where, we'll never know except by some of the antics in florida and georgia as indicators.
If the dems are at least a little bit smart, pelosi won't be speaker. We can't really say they're smart just because they might have won elections. That would fall on the so-called "smart" people that voted for them.
Actually Pelosi may be the only hope for partisanship. Conservatives will provide the ideas and the direction and a few demos will provide the necessary votes. We may not get as much done as we already have, but the country will move forward and not be mired in obstruction. The control switch is entirely in President Trumps hand while the maze the demos seek to construct will be just a bit more circurturous. Bottom line...he keeps winning.
