Nancy is an issue to RepublicansWhy?Well, let’s see where gas prices go. Right now they are at $3.00. But we went years with gas in the $3.00 - $4.00 range, there will not be shock like we had before.People are returning to work and their lives are returning to normal.We can come back to this next year. I say the election will revolve around the economy. If prices continue to climb the (D)'s can forget about any majorities.
Granted the GOP will likely go with the loons keeping it all close.
I don’t think 2022 will have any crisis one way or the other
No wars, no economic collapse, no pandemic
Dems will run on FEAR OF TRUMP
Republicans will claim Dems are Commies
If prices continue to rise the GOP will have a great platform to run on as long as they don't run candidates that want to run on "Dems are Commies".
If prices continue to rise, they won't have to but it seems some just can't stop themselves.
I don’t think inflation alone will do it.
The stock market is at record highs, GDP is rising, millions of new jobs……..more importantly, we are returning to normal after a year of COVID
All with millions not benefitting from any of that.
It will be difficult to stir up voter rage
You can bet $4.00 gas and increased food prices will indeed do that.
Let's note that they are returning to work without the promise of an increase in the minimum wage.
Any outrage over minimum wage will be directed at Republicans
I see 2022 as a very boring midterm
Why Republicans? Everyone says there is a consensus to raise the minimum wage. Maybe not to $15 but it's up to Nancy to get that ball rolling.
So you get $12 and then argue that if you want it higher you have to give the Dems more seats. Otherwise it's just another empty promise. Despite having majorities in the House and Senate under Obama and now Biden the (D)'s haven't raised the minimum wage even once.
Nancy is more interested in her useless Jan 6 commission. Raise the minimum wage and maybe I'll consider a (D). Otherwise it's back to third party.
Because Republicans have blocked minimum wage increases for 11 years
I have already addressed this. Even Joe Manchin says there is a consensus to raise the minimum wage, just not to $15. If Nancy was smart (and she isn't) she would say fine and introduce a bill raising it to $13. Maybe we get $12. She can then brag about that and beat on the idea that if people want it higher they have to elect more Democrats.
What she is doing is presenting her own agenda by only talking about her 1/6 commission. We already know what happened and repeating it over and over does NOTHING to help those struggling.
Nancy already did that.
It's not the House or democrats that won't raise minimum wage.
It's the republicans in the Senate.
I wish people wouldn't blame this on democrats. They have been trying to increase the minimum wage for years.
It's the republicans who filibuster the legislation so that it dies in the Senate.

House approves bill raising minimum wage to $15 per hour
The House on Thursday approved legislation to raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2025 in a 231-199 vote that cut largely along party lines. The legislation represented a long-evolving …thehill.com
Negotiate. Manchin noted that the votes are there for an increase. Have we forgot that this is what politicians are supposed to do? Did Nancy take "no" for answer on the 1/6 commission?
Nancy didn't take no for an answer mostly because she could. She has the power to create a select committee.
Nancy can't do a damn thing about the republican filibuster.
Manchin is fooling himself if he thinks that there are 10 republicans who will vote to raise the minimum wage to override that non stop filibuster.
Manchin also said there was enough to get the commission too. That didn't turn out so well.
No he didn't. He said Republicans had no excuse to vote against it, not that they would vote for it.
No one wants to actually do the work to get anything passed in Washington any more. Granted, Nancy makes a poor spokesperson as she is another politician where people are going to say no just because it's Nancy. There is a reason she has lost seats each time she was the speaker.
It doesn't matter who is the democratic speaker of the house.
That person will be treated the same way Nancy is treated now. It's not the person. It's the party.
We have a very divided nation. The republicans hate the democrats so much that they are willing to do harm to our nation just so that democrats can't do anything to benefit our nation or in republican terms, have a win.
It's not about winning or losing. Or it shouldn't be.
It should be about doing what's best for our nation.
I have been a registered Independent since 1978. I've voted a variety of parties through the decades.
I don't have much faith in either party. The democrats have good intensions and ideas but they have no spine to implement them.
republicans have very bad ideas that harm our nation and they do have the spine to implement them. Which is why we have been on this roller coaster of bubbles and bursts since the reagan years.
I disagree. Nancy is an issue. It's like saying Trump wasn't the issue.
As it should be
The republicans would have an issue with any democratic speaker of the house.
This one just happens to be a woman from California.
Which adds to their issues with her.
