Jorge Bonilla OWNS TODAY'S INTERNET for his response to Trump's Nancy Pelosi tweet.

I can get Nancy Pelosi as many votes as she wants in order for her to be Speaker of the House. She deserves this victory, she has earned it - but there are those in her party who are trying to take it away. She will win! @TomReedCongress

He also wants to use his statement as a talking point later. When the Dems investigate him, he will whine about how he offered to help Pelosi but she turned her back on him, ungrateful bitch.

Get in there and start sowing discord. Set us upon each other, bickering and fighting and NOT uniting to get business done.

28. United States presidential line of succession
Sat Nov 17, 2018, 04:22 PM
Nov 2018
The line of succession follows the order of Vice President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, President pro tempore of the Senate, and then the eligible heads of federal executive departments who form the president's Cabinet.
The Presidential Succession Act refers specifically to officers beyond the vice president acting as president rather than becoming president when filling a vacancy. The Cabinet currently has 15 members, of which the Secretary of State is first in line; the other Cabinet secretaries follow in the order in which their department (or the department of which their department is the successor) was created. Those heads of department who are constitutionally ineligible to be elected to the presidency are also disqualified from assuming the powers and duties of the presidency through succession. Since 1789, the vice president has succeeded to the presidency intra-term on nine occasions, eight times due to the incumbent's death, and once due to resignation. No one lower in the line of succession has yet been called upon to act as president.

outrageous things he can say about her to rile his base. He'll play his base like a fiddle.

But Nancy is smart and tough. She has his number. He's cunning but weak and blustering. She'll be fine. It should keep some of the up-and-coming leaders off his radar and maybe off the radar of the RW media for awhile. She's thinking of retiring before all that long – no bashing of her will hurt her career.

Fox 5 at 5 loves them all. The panel all in varying ways agreed Pelosi will be the new Speaker, they were in total, enthusiastic agreement that the Democrats needed to be beat up. They all loved all the anti Pelosi factions, and called it all 'REPUBLICAN PORN'!!!

When Bush was President. Trump remembers this or more likely was told this therefore he is acting as her proponent. He obviously understands nothing about Nancy Pelosi and how very many ways she will expose this corrupt administration and him.

The only scenario where Trump could somehow get votes for Pelosi would be if she is already the Dem nominee against the Repub. Does anyone seriously believe that only one Republican will vote for Pelosi? I'm asking this because there seem to be some on the Dem side who ask concerned questions why Trump would help Pelosi. He won't and he can't.

It is a vote of the entire house. So if Democrats are united then they will get their way. If they aren’t then republicans may have an impact.

this is not the time. she's clearly the best choice. I have read, though I don't know if it's true, that Pelosi will mentor younger reps and step aside in 2 years. it would shake my faith to my toes if the Democrats were to screw this up. we have a golden opportunity to save democracy here. it's just too important.
