If the pay off is big enough they will come around.

I would think one of the “Blue Dog” Democrats might work.

Still liberal, but more reasonable.

Imo, those are very much more dangerous than the wild eyed radicals. The quiet ones make it much easier to surrender by increments, while the wild eyed make it much easier to just say no.

Trump has already said he’ll get her some help.

He wants her as the face of the rat party I guess.

Why would the Dems force out that intellectual giant?

“I guess you didn’t get the memo...Tom Perez,the DNC Chairman,announced just last month that there are no more moderates left in the Democrat Party.”

All the more reason to try.

Dems need to inject some youth into their Senate presence. Occasional Cortex for speaker!

I am really hoping that the ‘latest’ whack job from NY hits DC with mouth roaring, probably too stupid to realize she will get nothing if she doesn’t ‘play along’ so hopefully she and some of the other real nutz band together and create 2 years of genuine comic relief and keep EVERYONE off guard...

Remember, a Congress that does NOTHING is an outstanding Congress especially since they have no interest in a budget or working with each other...

Stock up on popcorn....(hopefully) the fun is about to begin.

It’s all talk. They’ll vote for Pelosi to be speaker just like “pro-life” Dim Bart Stupak did, knowing she’d use her speaker power to push abortion.

If the Dems don’t vote for Pelousi, they are obviously MISOGYNISTS! You heard it here first!

Do NOT want this! Much better if the idiot is speaker instead of someone actually smart and sane.

Sadly, Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco is as centrist as can be found.

LOL!
The most likely scenario is that some Dems “revolt” and refuse to vote- so she wins it with less votes.

The media will act like it all wasn’t just part of the Dem establishment plan.
If the Dems didn’t have the media in the bag everyone would always be laughing at them.

A “moderate” Democrat able to get elected is either an outright 5th column player or a Useful Idiot being used, being played. Either way they are dangerous and in need of vigorous opposition.

No one can get far in the DNC without being corrupt.

The House Republicans will get to pick who becomes Speaker after all. Will they side with Nutty Nancy or the renegades’ candidate? I hope it’s the latter, because of the division it would cause in the Democrats’ caucus.

Pretty sure that if she needs a few votes, all she has to do is call PDJT. He’s already said he’ll make sure she gets whatever she needs.

Well, there’s always Alexandria Occasionally-Coherent. The added advantage is that I think the Speaker’s office has a bar, so she’d feel right at home!
