Let's do a Nancy Pelosi poll

We Evil DU-ERs have been expressing strong feelings lately about Nancy Pelosi and whether she should serve as Speaker after a Blue Wave.

So, here's the poll question:

What should Dems do with Nancy?


20 votes, 0 passes | Time left: Unlimited
Keep her in power
14 (70%)
Replace her
4 (20%)
Depends on who else is running
2 (10%)
Don't know & don't care
0 (0%)

Because if we don't win in November, we'll never regain power over republican and Russian corruption.

No distractions. No divisions.

Focus.

8. To recover from Trumps damage, we don't have the luxury of fashionability or trial by error.

9. Even Pelosi has given license to red state candidates to say what they will

That said, we are foolish if we don't realize how badly RW wants less experienced Dem leadership with little clout or time spent learning how to fight back against their own nasty tactics.

We need to be smart and realize this ageism crap is not about ensuring opportunities for our more junior and upcoming leadership. It is all about making sure we are hamstrung!

10. Dems should concentrate on winning as many elected offices at all levels as possible before worrying

about what role Ms. Pelosi should play after the elections. Gee, that sounds a lot like what Ms. Pelosi kept on saying to Mr. Capehart this morning.

What ever the outcome as long as Dems take over the house I will be satisfied. I would like to know that Ms. Pelosi, in what ever position she achieves, is mentoring many from the new crop of Democratic party reps. If she runs for leader and wins I hope this will be her last term as leader. Mostly because I hope she can spend time with her grandchildren and hanging out around SF more.
