24. "She should be training someone younger"? In an elected position, how does that work?

Wed May 2, 2018, 01:28 PM

May 2018

Aside from that, during her lengthy career starting as a volunteer in California Democratic politics, it was never "all about Nancy," and she always pulled others up.

Running for House Speaker is just that: you and others run, and your peers either vote for you or they don't. People want results -- she is incredibly effective at that. The House Speakership is not a national position -- people who complain about the national condition of the Party are barking up the wrong tree when they blame House leadership.

Finally (sorry, I realize I am ranting and addressing issues you have not raised in your post) the day we let the goppers tell us who we should have in leadership based on their smears and wild fantasies is the day we, the Dems, deserve to have our own party go belly-up.
