Pelosi challenger: I'm 'pulling the fire alarm

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), who is challenging House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for her leadership position, said the Democrats may “cease being a national party” if they don’t fix their problem with working-class voters.

“I’m pulling the fire alarm right now is what I’m doing in the Democratic Party. I believe we’re in denial of what’s happened. I’m pulling the fire alarm because the house is burning down,” Ryan said on Fox Business Network Monday.
“And we better get our act together or we’re going to cease being a national party. We’re going to be a regional party that fails to get into the majority and fails to do things on behalf of those working class people that were the backbone of the Democratic Party for so long,” he added.
“White, black, brown, gay, straight. Everybody wants economic opportunity and they don’t see the Democrats as the party providing that,” Ryan said.

GOP said same thing after 2012. I wonder what the Democratic version of Trump will look like.

good, he is very smart. We could use him on the other side. He will be shouted down because they don't want to hear it right now.

Hell no. That guy needs to sit down and shut up

Hope he fails. I want Pelosi to be the face of the DEM party forever.

They'll probably look like a body buried somewhere under the forthcoming Las Vegas NFL stadium.
Dems are too dependent on graft and corruption to let a real reformer take the helm.

The hot topic this entire election cycle was whether the Republican party could stay relevant in national elections. Now, we're talking about this...
My, how the tables have turned!

What a pandering retard. Pandering at its finest. He was joined at the hip with "workers champion" Hillary Clinton. One of her biggest supporters. Yet now he is saying they need to go after the working class whites? Where was this before Hillary lost? You think if she won he would be giving a damn about the working class?
You lost, Mr Ryan. You went all in with Hillary who is as far away from working class interests as it gets. People will see through your stupid pander attempt. This won't work.

Translation: We have to convince the middle class to give their money to the government rather than evil rich people; they eat that type of pandering up!

If he doesn't win, he'll be banned to the kiddie card table forever.

Racist.
Nancy says she has 2/3rds of the vote already without even trying.

When you call 63% of your citizens racist it eventually drives them away.
