Nancy Pelosi outlined her party’s vision for the future of the country this week; detailing the Democratic plot to cause total gridlock for the Trump administration should they retake control of Congress this fall.
The House Minority Leader was speaking with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour Tuesday when she was asked if her party plans on launching a series of anti-Trump investigations if successful this November.
“There are many people who wonder whether Democratic-led committees in the House will start to hold a series of investigations on this administration,” said Amanpour.
“In terms of what we would do in terms of legislation, we’ve established that,” said Pelosi. “We have a responsibility to be ready. I’ve asked top Democrats on these committees to establish priorities moving forward… This cannot be scattershot. We want to seek the truth about intervention in our elections.”
BLUE WAVE CRASHING: DNC Chief Delivers Address to EMPTY EVENT at Atlanta Mall
DNC Chairman Tom Perez delivered remarks to liberal supporters at an “indoor Latin mall” in Atlanta, Georgia this week, speaking to a nearly empty room as Democrats struggle to connect with American voters just months ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
Perez was speaking at the Plaza Fiesta shopping center Wednesday when he slammed President Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress; telling the left-wing activists to “get out and vote” this November.
“Michelle Obama always said, ‘We they go low, we go high.’ I have a variant of that. When they go low, we go vote,” said Perez to the nearly empty room.

“And when we put fear on the ballot, we don’t do so hot. Let’s face it, fear won in 2016, but let’s also face it, hope is making a huge comeback,” he added.

BLUE WAVE CRASHING: Democrat Advantage TUMBLES Ahead of 2018 Midterms
The Democratic Party’s national advantage over their Republican opponents continued to collapse this week; shrinking to four percentage points after double-digit leads just months ago.
A recent survey by CBS News shows the liberal advantage largely evaporating ahead of the 2018 midterms, with 36 percent of those asked saying the GOP should retain control of Congress and 40% hoping for a left-wing “blue wave” in November.
The shrinking advantage and surprising poll numbers were conducted after the President’s “zero tolerance” policy on illegal immigration made national headlines, with the Commander-in-Chief urging Congress to find a permanent solution to the escalating border crisis.
“CBS’s poll, which sampled 2,063 adults between June 21-22, 2018 and has a margin of error of 2.6 percent, also shows there are a significant number of Trump supporters who opposed the zero-tolerance policy but did not hold the president responsible. The results also suggest voters are compartmentalizing the issue,” writes the Daily Caller.
