Best to keep an ignorant and power hungry person in charge.

“Has released some members” — it’s funny how the news media just accepts this line, and reports it as if this is normal.

She was in a race to BE speaker, and yet she has so much power that people who wanted to vote against her had to be given PERMISSION to do so.

The thirty 2 Dems could meet with the Pubbies and the Pubbies could agree to vote for a less loathsome Dem for speaker...that could upend the house politics as we know it!

“Are you a communist?”

“Beep.”

“Is Trump a capitalist pig that should be destroyed by you and your power as Speaker?”

“Beep.”

“Has Hillary ever broken the law or EVER done anything that would be considered objectionable by even the most modest passerby?”

“Beep, Beep.”

“The thirty 2 Dems could meet with the Pubbies and the Pubbies could agree to vote for a less loathsome Dem for speaker...”

I’d *LOVE* to see that happen. That’d tear the Democrats apart though.

What will happen is that ten of those 32 will be made offers they can’t refuse so that Pelosi’s carcass can be dragged across the finish line. The remainder will be given permission to vote against Pelosi due to campaign promises.

(I’m assuming pelosi will only need 10 additional votes to get her to 218).

If you really want to mess with the proglibs have all the Republican members vote for her.

The new young dems will be convinced there is collusion.

“...Have to keep the slaves in line....”
Well, she’s extremely good at that and has plenty of experience as she and her hubby own a bunch of Samoan slaves. And blacks think the GOP is racist....LMAO!

The average of Democrat leadership is almost 80. Hear that millennials?

Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-N.Y) said that rebel members met with Pelosi before the vote in an effort "to engage her in a reasonable conversation about leadership transition," but were rejected. "Unfortunately, our concerns were dismissed outright," she said in a statement.

I think I see the problem.
