“Nancy Pelosi is betting everything on taking back the House in November, and most Democrats are confident they’ll pull it off. But what happens if they fail?,” Politico reports.

“A stealthy discussion is already underway within the Democratic Caucus, particularly among members whose only experience in Congress is in the minority. Assuming Pelosi either leaves on her own or is pressured to step down, her exit would trigger a messy battle between the party’s old guard, led by House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), and the party’s younger members, represented by House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.).”

1. Who has the votes to replace her?

Nobody comes to mind.

27. Nancy was one of the best Speakers in quite

sometime. Before was pedo Hastert, after was bah, bah, bah Boehner. I won’t mention the gutless Paul Ryan.

[spanone]

2. i want to know who will replace trump

[kydo]

3. When: After the impeachment. Who: Steny Hoyer. Why: Pelosi will be President.

Just saying.

[Me.]

10. Good One

She will leave when she decides to leave

I assume this is Tim Ryan and his faction that are pushing this again. It certainly wouldn't be Crowly

14. Indeed

A scenario pushed by people who know that most voters have no idea what a Speaker/Minority Leader actually does - so they don't realize that Pelosi is the absolute best at the job, while the pretenders couldn't even come close to her effectiveness.

[Me.]

32. The Ringleaders

Tim Rice & Kathleen Rice

[mcar]

13. That is a solution I can get behind

[nolabear]

4. Let's give her this moment without planning her loss.

She's doing us proud. I'm enjoying seeing her.

5. Nancy Pelosi is great! stop back stabbing her

8. Why do you choose to do this today, when Nancy Pelosi is

on the House floor fighting for DACA? Your timing is terrible. In fact, shame on you for it.

11. Who will replace Schumer

And when?

12. What nonsense is this?

Nancy Pelosi was the most effective Speaker of the House in generations. She is right now speaking in the House, lambasting Ryan and his RWNJ minions for their incompetence.

I'd like the author of this piece, and any D congresscritters, to name me one congressperson who would do a better job.

[EffieBlack]

15. THANK you!

33. I stand with HER

The ONLY beef I have with her - and its kinda big - is not going after Cheney and his trained chimp when we had the majority.

Other than that, she's been a GREAT leader.

[ehrnst]

34. Did her record-setting defense of Dreamers bother some people?
