Opinion: Nancy Pelosi hasn’t learned her lesson from 2010
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , speaks during a news conference Thursday. By Henry Olsen Henry Olsen Columnist focusing on politics, populism, and American conservative thought Email Bio Follow Columnist March 1 at 3:12 PM Reports indicate that House Democrats are in turmoil over some moderates’ recent votes with Republicans on the House floor.
Any outside observer could see why this happened. On a host of issues — especially Obamacare, climate change and a massive economic stimulus package — the party got too far out in front of public opinion. The long-frustrated Democratic base wanted quick movement on all its priorities at once. The result was damning. Since 2010, Democrats have found it increasingly difficult to win in areas in which they once had dominated or at least been competitive. In 2009, Democrats held 98 House seats and 23 Senate seats in states Bush carried in 2004. Today, they hold only 74 House seats and a mere seven Senate seats in those same states.
