Piglosi’s brains are fried, what few she has.
Not much different than the Republicrats! They promised the Tea Party, "vote us in and we'll repeal Obamacare and we'll make government smaller!" Yeah, right! The Uniparty rules!!!
That's just the nomination battle inside the Democrat caucus. It takes 218 votes to win if every member of the house votes. For every 2 Democrats who do not vote at all when the whole House meets to elect leadership, the number of required to win decreases by 1. With 32 members not voting, the number of of votes needed to win is 202. If all those 32 vote for other candidates, and all Republicans vote, Pelosi would still need 218 votes. Republicans will be voting for their own candidate for Speaker. If the rebel Democrats stay united, they can block Pelosi.
well, she doesn’t have the votes.
If there is the election and 203 is all the votes she gets, then the field is open for a new candidate to step forward.
She is now either subject to terrible embarassment or to providing major concessions
The Democrat party: the Party of Antichrist.
You may be on to something. ;-)

Have Republican Kevin McCarthy offer extremely plum committee assignments and earmarks to the not Pelosi crowd and the new dem freshman in exchange for voting him into the speakership. Their majority is pretty narrow.
One beep. Orange man bad.
Two beeps. Orange man very bad.

Will make for good C-Span viewing when pelosi goes into one of here slurred speech deer-in-the-headlights-episodes.

The Democrats run a culture of revenge and retaliation. If one candidate opposes another for a seat of power, that candidate will be punished if he loses. Thus they don’t run if they are not sure to win. This lets whoever appears to be in control stay in control, whether or not they have any genuine support at all.
lol
Apparently Ocasio-Cortez was a rebel member until she sat down with Pelosi and afterward said she would support her.
She's made a deal with the Devil, that poor bastard.
