NEW: Anti-Pelosi letter just dropped - 16 Democrats (not 17 as previously reported) have signed on

[ehrnst]

Two women, 14 men. Five members-elect.

This should be interesting. I know people who are furious with Brindisi - they worked hard to get him elected, and they are going to give him an earful about his position on this.

7. 16 down from 17 members of the Democratic circular firing squad.

I see the #FiveWhiteGuys as expected.

Rep. Fudge, the one they were trying to push out there to run against Pelosi, is missing from this list.

She must've come to her senses after meeting with Pelosi.

[Celerity]

10. no, still 17: Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., on Friday said she would not sign this letter but does not

intend to support Pelosi.

I do not know about Rep. Fudge atm, hopefully she changed mind.

15. That Might Mean She'll Vote Present

instead of no

[Orangepeel]

18. On the House floor, it won't be yes or no

It will be Pelosi or McCarthy. They will all vote present.

[question everything]

16. Sigh of relief. My congressman-elect is not on that list

I did complain as soon as I've heard him hinting and he replied that during the campaign - the one that he flipped -he heard about people wanting "new blood."

[grantcart]

2. I only know one, Linda Sanchez who is not well known for her intelligence

She wanted to run for a leadership position until her husband was indicted for misusing federal funds.

[rufus dog]

23. Not a smart move on her part

Safe district, nothing to gain except some face time on Fox and perhaps a primary opponent in 2020.

4. This is like the THIRD new post on this. Doesn't anyone check the queue before posting?

[FarPoint]

6. No, they do not....

It's like a Spamming mission to try and keep Democrats fighting...

[Bfd]

8. ++++ a million But maybe we should repeat their names & then remember them in 2020

There'll be more before the day is over.
Say their names. Shame them all

[msongs]

11. doncha know everything on twitter is true fact LBN. nt

[question everything]

22. First one for me. And this is not LBN

I heard on the news and searched this site and found this.

I have seen worse, when five or more stories are posted at the same time.

[TheBlackAdder]

9. It's "LET'S MAKE A DEAL" time! The only time they're relevant is shaking down the Democratic Party!

.

I like how they offer no suggestions, because they know they've got NOTHING!

[boston bean]

12. And they were kind enough to put the womens name on the bottom.

And one guy who is behind in the vote count up at the top.

[Me.]

13. #17 On List McAdams

is iffy, Love leading currently

And isn't Sanches in a vulnerable spot as her husband has been indicted for stealing federal funds. Wouldn't she like the support of all those Dems?

[Cha]

14. Hi ehrnst.. I was disappointed

to see Brindisi's name. He's in my former District where I used to live in New York.

I'm wondering if he had to pledge not to support Nancy because that's a red seat and most of them are brainwashed?

[Hortensis]

17. That's okay. We're not ants. And we have 233 members as of today,

66 more than the Republicans at 167, with 3 members still to be determined.

Committing to voting no when they have no viable alternative is contemptible. Do they imagine they're choosing the president of a photography club? They wouldn't vote out the pilot of the plane they flew into DC on with no replacement, and this is incredibly more foolish with a nation's lives at risk.

That said, my guess is they'll harmlessly fulfill a campaign promise that should never have been made on the 28th, and then most will vote for her in the first joint session in January. And peoplew will be taking names of any who don't then, though again, with a 66 member (right now) majority...

[yardwork]

19. Yeah, this is lame and also a nothingburger.

[Hortensis]

20. Lol. You'll love CNN's "Could Pelosi Actually Lose?"

No.

[yardwork]

21. Seriously?

Jeez.
