This flirtation with the idea of a Democratic bloodbath over the House speakership was fun. I admit; a little part of me was hoping for a slog. It would’ve been a moment of shattered unity for the new Democratic House before the new sessions officially began. And I would have loved to see what Donald Trump would’ve have said, or done, to get Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) the votes she would have needed if she fell short. Right now, some 16 or so House Democrats have formed a Never Nancy wing, adamant that they will not support her speakership bid. It held for a few days, but its collapsed. Rep. Marcia Fudge(D-OH), a potential alternative candidate, jumped ship, as did anothersupposed Never Pelosi Democrat, Brian Higgins. This little game is over, and Pelosi is probably going to get that gavel back. While this challenge was emanating from some new incoming members, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York Representative who has no clue how to pay for her Medicare for All scheme, said Nancy could count on her support (via The Hill):
Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) endorsed House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for Speaker on Wednesday, saying that Pelosi "can count on my support."
"All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests," Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter.
"Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support."
The endorsement from Ocasio-Cortez, a high-profile incoming progressive Democrat, is the latest sign of broad momentum for Pelosi's bid to retake her Speaker position in the new Congress.
Five incoming members had joined a total of 16 House Democrats in signing a letter to colleagues last week urging a change in leadership.
One of those lawmakers to sign onto the letter, Rep. Brian Higgins (D-N.Y.), reversed his opposition and endorsed Pelosi on Wednesday.
It’s better this way, folks. Nancy as the face of the Democratic Party again, with an agenda that is so far left, coupled with politically motivated and utterly worthless House investigations that end up nowhere—Christmas has come early. And Trump will have the perfect ‘do-nothing Congress’ punching bag to pummel on the campaign trail in 2020, along with whomever the Democrats pick to run against him.

Ah, a lower ranking socialist stitching her lips to the anus of a higher ranking Leftist. I knew this chick’s crazy eyes would find their limits.
DO NOT USE! THROW OUT!!
You know it.
“Like, I found these speakers, when I was moving to the new apartment I couldn’t afford until I found out I get paid, wowie, my first like ever job, wonder what they will have me doing?”
Well, you heard it from the horses mouth...
Close.
Inference received

Pe-Lousy must have promised to let have a slumber party in the House chamber...
She thinks she’s got clout now, nan is telling her to keep quite Ill teach you everything you need to know about history, the government and how it works and economics so you don’t look like a dammed fool every time you open your horse mouth
We need to wake up to the fact that she's a community organizer, a damned good one.
Also, she is an educated woman. Don't fall for this idea of her being stupid, despite its appeal to conservatives. This is a serious business and we are being punked - - big time.
Another liar.
buttered bread.
That perfectly explains the face of left these days. Know nothing, feeeeeeel everything, scream at everyone who disagrees.
