They’re holding out for bribes.

“Make it worth our while, Nancy, and we’ll back off.”

She can lose only 18.

To hold on, she would need GOP support.

The fix is in,

She will allow 17 of crazies to vote for another to please their base, but everyone else will fall in line

I think this challenge is coming from her right actually, some of the “moderate” Democrats from swingy-er districts.

She may need GOP support? Then she’s not worried.

Surely, Cortex could be speaker for at least one of the three branches of Congress, couldn’t she?

I don't know. I'd pay good money to see Alexandria Infrequent-Cortex wield (hold, like, with her hands 'n stuff) the big hammer thingy.

Sixteen is a good number. Get 9 more ‘Rats and all the Republicans, and Nancy goes packing.

Wouldn’t that be a hoot.
