Does no one else want the job of House Minority Leader? Surely the Democrats can find someone slightly more awake and less starched than Nancy Pelosi?

I’m not complaining, because we continue to see Nancy Antoinette insist that a thousand dollars to a peasant/middle-class American is merely “crumbs.” Yes, really.

Pelosi made the comments, flagged by America Rising, at a “Trump Tax” town hall meeting at Florida Atlantic University.

“There’s a cartoon that I just love,” Pelosi said, adding on to comments from another panel member. “There’s a little mouse trap who’s got a little piece of cheese on there, and there’s a mouse about to take it and that’s called the middle class … And around it are fat cats,” or big businesses.

Pelosi said the cats looked more like elephants to her, suggesting that Republicans are the ones mainly benefiting from the tax overhaul, which President Donald Trump signed into law last month.

“And that’s the thing,” Pelosi continued. “You get this little thing and we get this big bonanza. You get the crumb, we get the banquet.”

Oh, and right next to San Fran Nan is Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who also dismisses $1000 as “not going very far for anyone.”

Excuse me? I’ll take your thousand, Debbie, and yours too, Nancy. I can put it to good use paying down my medical insurance deductible!

The fact that Pelosi is again repeating this “crumbs” analogy means that she thinks it is working for her. Does no one in the Democrat party even poll-test or focus-group these things anymore?

So here is a thought exercise. Ask the average person on the street what they would do with an extra $1000. And then ask them if they would rather have that, or nothing. I am betting that 100% of the people asked if they want a bonus of $1000 dollars would take it, without question. But in Nancy’s world, where it costs you $250 to just get in the door at a Democratic fundraiser dinner next month (and the prices just go up from there – $1000 won’t even get you to the level of having a bottle of wine at your table at this dinner!), money buys influence. A thousand dollars isn’t enough money to buy Nancy’s attention. She’s not going to be swayed by that little crumb of cheese! You need to have a whole block of the finest aged Parmigiano-Reggiano to get Nancy to even look in your direction! No crumbs!
