Real Clear Politics ^ | 11/29/2018 | Lisa Mascaro

But in January she’ll need closer to 218 votes, half the full 435-seat House, if all Republicans vote against her, as is likely — though she could win with fewer votes if some lawmakers are absent or vote present.

It would be fun for the republicans to pick either the most conservative democrat in the House (if there are any!) or the most inept. Imagine socialist Speaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez winning with all republican votes and a couple dozen far-left supporters. The democrats would be paralyzed by the incompetence.

Odd that votes against her were allowed despite the fact that SHE HAD NO OPPONENT.

Babs Lee was defeated by Hakeem Jeffries in the race for Caucus Chair, a tragedy. She cried ageism (despite the fact Pelosi, Hoyer, and Clyburn have been the in House since the Franlin Pierce administration). So as with Clyburn before her, Pelosi invented a position for her, cause there had a to be a “woman of color” in the leadership.

Illinois Cheri Bustos elected DCCC Chair, making her public enemy #1.
