    How does one win against Pelosi

    Nancy Pelosi has friendly media, has deep connections with business and private organizations.
    These groups will invite her to speak to their members/employees, give her platform to get her message to the voters
    How does a regular citizen running against her get these platforms
    They wont, there option is to buy media, Hard to raise money when running against Pelosi

  2. Pelosi will only be able to raise $50-$100 per person just like everybody else. That's the point. Do you realize the amount of money she gets from big donors? It far outsizes the little guy. They don't donate to the little guy to begin with unless they feel they can be corrupted. Under my proposal the homeless fentanyl addict on the street will have the exact same political donation power as any SF tech CEO.

    Pelosi doesn't need money to win
    Everyone knows her
    She has the power in incumbency....She can allocate monies to all types of groups to get her votes.
    She is the sugar lady of San Fransisco.......
    Hard for a newcomer to win votes from all those sugar babies if they cant get in front of them

  5. Beating an incumbent is always tough. They always start with more name recognition. They also usually have a fund raising advantage. It would be hard to beat Pelosi, because she’s popular in San Francisco. She hasn’t had a serious primary challenger in decades. There’s zero chance a modern Republican could win her district.

  6. I guess McCarthy needs 2 more votes. I guess we can count Gaetz and Boebert as two absolute no’s. So he needs to see what the other 4 want and try to flip 2 of them.

  7. My guess is Crane and Rosendale come around. Possibly Biggs. It sounds like Good is also a hard no.

  8. McCarthy winning is not the issue, GOP has the House and he is their leading man.


    The issue both parties need to be worried about is what did McCarthy promise to give to all those people who had to knee pad to get their votes. Promising away shit in the dark is the most hypocritical thing a group of fucktards complaining about the swamp could do but that's D.C.

    WAH I cannot vote for McCarthy because of the swamp and blah blah

    Wait..McCarthy promised me some shit in private.. ok I will change my vote...

    These are the promises that you are worried about? They seems reasonable to me---

    "Those changes include allowing just one member to make a motion to vote for a new speaker, guaranteed votes on term limits and a balanced budget, and ensuring members of the House Freedom Caucus are allowed to participate in key House committees, including the Rules Committee that sets the terms of debate and voting on legislation."
