Maxine Waters -- contemplate her as Speaker . . .

[pdsimdars]

I'm not sure there could be a more perfect response to Trumpism than a strong, black, WOMAN!
Maybe she and Nancy could be co-chairs. . . but I'd LOVE to see the Trump response to having Maxine in charge of the House. That would be worth it.

1. No. She already is giving him heartburn as the next Chair

of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.

4. +1

9. I know that's right!

Let the investigations begin!

[JI7]

2. no, i prefer her speaking on issues and going after people on committees

[Jersey Devil]

7. yes, she is very effective and under appreciated

There is no nonsense when she is asking the questions. I like her a lot.

3. Pelosi is doing just fine

[drray23]

5. No. Being a speaker does not mean being good at bluster.

It means being good at organizing the caucus. Few of any are more effective than Nancy Pelosi at this.

6. That's also assuming she'd want to be Speaker.

I think it's more of a dark cloud on the cheato parade to have Nancy Pelosi in that seat, like a snownado. She knows the ropes, better than most, and she can/will deliver for us without destroying the country or democracy. Nancy knows how to steer the ship and keep it upright, that's the best we can hope for right now.

Pelosi as Speaker may end up as her sitting in the Oval Office for a spell if things really go our way in the near future.

8. I am certain Pelosi will be tough enough for Trump to try to handle

Nancy will look Trump in the eye and say if this is what you want this is what you have to give me and if he won't cave he won't get anything done.

10. No, I am thinking of Pelosi sitting next to Waters in the WH laying down the law to Trump

thing of beauty... Two strong women are better than one

[pdsimdars]

11. I guess you're right . . . but it was a pleasant thought that might give him a coronary

but being the committee chairman should do that too
