They want it, they want it badly:
There is zero evidence that Clinton has any plans to run again. But the right wing hate for her is still so strong — they joyfully chanted “lock her up” just last Saturday at Trump’s rally — that they need to keep the hope alive for ratings and profit.
Meanwhile, I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn this:
No one knows how to run against House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi better than Rep. Steve Stivers, R-Ohio.
In 2010, he made her the central figure in his campaign to win a rematch against Mary Jo Kilroy, the Democratic incumbent who had defeated him by little more than 2,000 votes in 2008.
“Her record mirrors Pelosi’s,” Stivers said back then. “Really, my focus is going to be on Pelosi and Kilroy.”
Oh wait. That was 2018. This is the latest:
The NRCC, running a perennial play, plans to play up Pelosi in ads against vulnerable Dems.
It’s already run several ads featuring the speaker, including those against embattled Reps. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) and Tom O’Halleran (D-Ariz.).
Calvin Moore, a spokesperson for the House GOP-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund, signaled a similar strategy. “As long as Pelosi is around, she’ll be the gift that keeps on giving for Republican campaigns,” he said.
I don’t see why they can’t keep running against Hillary and Nancy even after they’re dead. Apparently Republicans are terrified of them.
