her as Congresswoman.

1. Speaker designate

is the global title.

[TheDonkey]

2. not really Democrats have to vote on her before she becomes speake-elect

speaker-presumed perhaps. meh'

[beaconess]

3. She hasn't yet been elected or designated

After the Democratic Caucus votes next week and likely elects her Speaker, she will properly be called Speaker-Elect or Speaker-Designate between then and January when she's sworn in.

Now, her correct title is Congresswoman.

4. To many words for his wittle brain.

5. Noticed that too. It's his way of demeaning her to puff up his own ego.

Petty, vindictive mean-spiritedness is what he's all about.

It runs in the family.

6. Might be

but at this point she is neither Speaker, Speaker Elect or Speaker Designate. There is a process and her correct title is Representative or Congresswoman. So Mr. Bush is speaking correctly, which while rare, is still correct.
