The normally astute House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi stepped in it last Wednesday on Stephen Colbert's Late Show, declaring that the Dems will win the mid-terms:
“Up until today, I would say, if the election were held today, we would win,” she said. “Now what I’m saying is we will win."Hard to believe Pelosi would be so tone deaf after hundreds of thousands of people stayed home in 2016 because they thought Hillary Clinton was a sure winner and their vote for her wasn't needed.
Here's Michael Moore's response, on Seth Meyer's show the day after:
“A Democrat who just automatically announced, ‘We’re gonna win.’ And it’s like, my God that’s what happened in 2016. Everybody was throwing the party for Hillary [Clinton] before the election, and I think some people stayed home…You gotta quit this kind of predicting nonsense and just do your job as a citizen. Everybody’s gotta get off the bench this time. We may not get another time." (our emphasis)Today's the day. No more overconfidence. No more slacking and no more assuming. This one counts more than any other mid-term. VOTE.
BONUS: From Not- Michael- Moore --
Oh, I voted all right. I moved on that ballot like a bitch. I got there, w/ blood coming out of my wherever! I’m auto attracted to polling stations—I just start filling in ovals. It’s like a magnet. And when ur registered, they let u do it. U can do anything.#Grabthembytheballot— Dee2🌈🌊 (@deedeeflagg) November 1, 2018
