Pelosi: ‘We Had To Jump Over Gerrymandered Lines All Over The Country’
Claim Rated: TRUE.
When they go low, we jump high! There will be a next time… and we will be larger in number and jump even higher. Gotta find my red ball express tennies.
This is what a fucking leader looks like
It looks like 228 seats for a 4 pt margin in the congressional vote. I guess it could have been worse…
It also looks like gerrymandering will still be a major factor in 2020…
I can’t wait to see the gavel in her hands again. I know, I know. She has to start grooming a successor. But for right now, I’m happy she’s back where she belongs.
And Ryan will be gone, which of course he would have been in any case. But seeing Jim Jordan step into his shoes would have been just as bad, if not worse. He won his district by upwards of 30 points.
