to be voted down as the minority house speaker. Does anyone know what, specifically, it is that they would do differently? Two of the most feared democrats by rethuglicans are Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. Are we helping them get rid of their distaste for outspoken women?

2. The GOP hammers, runs ads, TV etc against our strong women candidates. Why do we

Fall for such garbage?

Why do we let the GOP echo chamber cower us?

[Squinch]

3. We SHOULD be hammering and running ads exposing the sexism they are showing, but we don't.

I take a lot of heat for saying this, but we suck at messaging. A good PR firm would do us a world of good.

6. We absolutely suck at messaging

4. AM Joe

just did a hatchet job on her this morning. Extremely unflattering picture and all! First we have to regain control of Congress and then worry about leadership!

[Squinch]

7. It should never be forgotten that he is not on our side. He normalized

trump. Trump wouldn't have been elected if not for Joe.

I don't think he is quite the same level of Satan spawn as some, but he is not our friend.

5. On what grounds?

8. Isn't there an old saying about picking your Speaker before the votes have been counted?

Focus dems! Win back the House first.

9. Specifically who? Which Dems have joined the bandwagon?

I think we need this info. And where did you hear this?

12. 50 Democratic candidates say they would oppose Pelosi as House speaker

WASHINGTON — As Democrats battle to retake control of Congress in November, their leader — Nancy Pelosi — could also be facing a coming fight of her own.

Fifty Democrats running for the House say they won't support the California lawmaker for speaker, according to an NBC News survey of candidates and their public statements.

At least 41 of the party's nominees for House seats have declared they will not back Pelosi and nine incumbent Democratic lawmakers are on the record opposing her.

The most recent voice to the chorus came Thursday, when Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib, who is on track to become the first Muslim woman in Congress, said she would "probably not" support Pelosi because "she doesn't speak about the issues that are important to the families of the 13th congressional district, and they are a priority for me."

An additional 34 Democratic nominees are neither for nor against Pelosi, who has led her party in Congress since 2003.

The significant opposition is a sign of the movement for a generational change in Democratic leadership on the Hill — some believe that Pelosi should step aside so younger members of the party can move up in its ranks. The majority are Democrats running in Republican voting areas, where the minority leader is despised by the GOP. And some of it stems from the ascendant progressive movement, which wants to promote different policies and take a more aggressive approach in Congress to the Republicans and to President Donald Trump.

The anti-Pelosi contingent runs from competitive districts won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 to areas overwhelmingly carried by Trump. And among recruits in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's "Red-to-Blue" program for targeted districts, 21 candidates say they will not vote for Pelosi as leader, 20 are neither against nor for and four support her. NBC could not find positions for the other 11 candidates and their campaigns did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
