Opposition to Nancy Pelosi as Speaker is what Republicans do.

[MineralMan]

Our newly-elected House majority will make the decision. We shouldn't be echoing what Republicans say here on DU.

Let the House Democrats choose their own Speaker, please. That's their job, not ours. Let's not act like the Republicans, shall we?

Thanks.

1. +1 Well said. n/t

2. +1, looks like there was an anti Pelosi push around 30 minutes ago

[MineralMan]

4. Yes. That prompted this post.

I'm sick of hearing Republican ideas here.

7. i skipped those

[Lotusflower70]

3. Amen to that

There is more than enough misogyny to go around. Nancy Pelosi is a strong and intelligent woman. Leave her alone and let her keep working.

5. I agree.

The hate that Trump and his cult has for Nancy Pelosi should not be echoed among Democrats.

[MineralMan]

6. Yes. Let's all stand behind Nancy Pelosi so we have her back.

She has proven herself to be a very capable leader many, many times. We're going to need that time-tested leadership.

9. Speaker Pelosi sounds damn good to my ears.

[MineralMan]

11. I agree. Anyone who has followed Congress

knows that Pelosi can pull things off through her leadership that nobody thinks are possible.

Republicans hate her. That's good enough for me!

10. Pelosi won this thing for us... truth

Money, organizing with DCCC like a machine= WIN

[MineralMan]

12. Good point. I see the opposition to her leadership

to be a Republican ruse. I hate to see it here on DU.

[JCMach1]

14. Every damn time we have asked her to step up and be the Dem leader she does it and she wins

All she does is win people...

Let her bloody the hell out of Trump the next two years! Will be a pleasure to watch...

13. I spoke to Max Rose a month or two ago...he didn't support Pelosi as Speaker

With a relatively small margin, the issue is how many of the newly-electeds want new Leadership.

[MineralMan]

16. I guess we'll see. However, which House member has

the experience and proven clout? Rose or Pelosi? Which has more time at a House desk? Seems clear enough to me, frankly.

[brooklynite]

17. Rose isn't proposing himself...

...neither are any of the other new candidates.

Are you, by comparison, saying that ONLY Pelosi has the skills to lead the Democrats?

[MineralMan]

18. Nor did I suggest that he was.

He will be a Freshman House member. Learning the intricacies of that body is the first task.

And no, I'm not saying that Pelosi is the only possible choice. I am saying that she has a proven record of successful leadership, and that her name will be brought forward.

You know who doesn't like Nancy Pelosi? Republicans. That's who. I'm skeptical of Democrats who say the same things as Republicans. Yes, indeed, I am.

15. I agree MM. Totally. nt
