Democrats had a chance to actually listen to regular working class Americans in an attempt to become relevant to them, but they blew it when they resisted the opportunity to make Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan their House Minority Leader.
Instead, that job went right back to awful Nancy Pelosi, who represents a wealthy district in northern California. Pelosi is the (barely) living embodiment of everything that turns off ordinary Americans when they look at the out of touch Democratic party. The problem has grown even worse recently as it has become clear that Pelosi is suffering the mental disintegration that sometimes accompanies old age. She recently had a full mental episode on live television.
Pelosi was being interviewed by liberal Anderson Cooper on CNN, which has always been friendly territory for her. However, even with everything pushed in her favor Pelosi could not keep it together. On the program, Cooper asked her a simple question, “Who is the leader of the Democratic Party?”
Mentally checked out Pelosi launched into a meaningless word salad, rattling off, “Well, President Obama was the president of the United States until just a matter of weeks ago. I don’t think that he can be dismissed as the leader of the Democratic Party. Hillary Clinton did not win the election, but a respected leader.”
