Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just stunned viewers on national television by admitting that she thinks states should decide who’s allowed to run for president of the United States.
This would give states like California the ability to drop former President Trump from the ballot if she got her way. Many feel her actions aren’t about protecting “democracy” but about pure, unadulterated power.
Pelosi told CNN’s Dana Bash on Thursday that although “martyr” Donald Trump could be the beneficiary from the “raw politics” of being removed from state presidential ballots, it’s the “kitchen table issues” that are important to American voters.

an influential member of the national demcommie party thinks the voters are incapable of deciding who they want to vote for and who they want to "govern" us
- typical demcommie, big government maneuver to nullify the voting power given to "the people" in the U.S. Constitution
- "the people" should, and do, have that power and should realize this tactic and
- revolt against the push by the demcommies to communize the political system in this country

This can be a two-edged sword. A clear majority of states have Republican majorities. But then she probably knows RINOs better than we do.

And that is why Washington DC acts of their own accord. They are self-absorbed and voters really are deplorables as Hillary has pointed out. . .

By, "States," Nasty Nancy means, "the Courts," as Demonrats have just about converted 100% of the nation's jurists into card carrying leftists, or leaning in that direction.
Also, Nasty Nancy has forgotten that in this nation, "Power is derived from the People," and is not the monopoly of some self-proclaimed, "Elected Class."

She says that because she know that George Soros already owns the Secretary of State officials of many states, and there lies the power to corrupt the elections.

Congress is the only party that can remove a candidate from a ballot. All this other stuff is just static.

Sad to say, Nasty Nancy epitomizes our government. Arrogant, tyrannical, and corrupt all rolled up in one ugly ball of you know what. She does not believe in representative government. She shouldn't be in Washington, but the people in her district have been so dumbed down they never vote her out. Either that or she fixes her own elections which should never be ruled out.

Pelosi would say just the opposite if it was Biden they were trying to keep off the ballot.
She is the most corrupt of the corrupt, the most offensive smelling of the excrement portraying the democrat party with Chuck the schmuck running a close second.

Yay! She said the quiet part out loud. Now we need to play that clip over and over and over to continue the great awakening. Globalists despise freedom of the people. They demand total control of their minions. That is not what America is, we want no king.

"The people" don't pick the candidates for President, the parties do. In Nancy's world, the candidates are hand selected, told if they can run or not, and funded by the party machine. Primary voters in the early states might have some effect, but voters in the later states are pretty much irrelevant. By the late stages half the candidates are just collecting donations to pay off debt or save up for the future so they can donate to whatever candidate they want to do them a favor. Not even campaigning anymore. Until we have a single day primary vote, it's pretty much a rigged system, with machine politics dominating over "we the people".

"Pelosi then sneered, “Martyrdom is his thing.” This language and talk is not of a normal and rational person.
Nancy Pelosi is full of pure hatred and evil. Not only is this hatred directed at President Trump, but at us! She not only doesn't want us to have a choice of who we vote for, but she wants to destroy President Trump! Where is a Catholic Priest when you need him?
Again, Nancy Pelosi hates us, the American Loving MAGA Patriot Citizen! Her and the Left want to destroy us!!!
Pray against this evil that it will not prevail!

Increasingly, it appears that our government is creeping closer to a revolution against the People instead of the other way around. Biden's drunk-sounding "democracy" speech is a code word for an elite - a democrat elite, of course - to impose its will on the people but our Founding Fathers, almost exclusively white Christians, and our Constitution, ratified by the states, created a Representative Republic form of government, and specifically not a democracy, that has lasted, battered and bruised by its embedded totalitarians of the democrat party, for almost 250 years, back when Biden was but a wee lad, stealing candy money from his mother's purse. To be clear, our Republic is a representative form of government, derived by the will of the people, that is ruled according to our Constitution, whereas a democracy is a government ruled according to the will of the majority. When a political party alters the votes of individual citizen voters, diluting the will of its legal citizens in favor of illegally imported foreign actors, sympathetic to the party of totalitarians, it is time for a do-over that makes a rabid weasel attack in the chicken house look bloodless. This becomes necessary when our elected representatives ignore the Constitution, specifically its Bill of Rights, imposing their "democratic" version of communism on a formerly free people, war is the only answer to reclaiming our Republic, minus the swamp from which the mini-totalitarians spring.

Let me get this straight.... Pelosi wants states to decide presidential candidate, but is against the Electoral College which state electors pick the President.
In one case she is for the States to select a primary Presidential candidate ... in the other she is against state representatives (Electoral College to elect a President.
PS..... She is a Senator elected by popular vote. Formerly this was a job for the States to select their Senator just like she wants for a presidential candidate. Any hypocrisy???
