1. She doesn't have the numbers against whom?

Who is being put up against her who will get more numbers? Methinks "Multiple Democratic members" are ones who are saying to him "Well, I think we Democrats need a change of leadership, but..." and Mr. Fuller is jumping to the conclusion that "She doesn't have the numbers and can't get there" - as if the Dems haven't flipped the House already and she's running for Minority Leader.
So far, I haven't heard of anyone actually making the moves to go up against her. They'd have been reported going around making deals already.

I'm wondering, did #FiveWhiteGuys thumb-wrestle yet to see which of them was going to make the strafing run against her?
Are these good "3rd Way" alternatives sure that all these brand new women and women of color who have been elected will ditch her and vote for one of them "politically realistic he-men"?
Or do they think they can muster a coalition of moderates and brand new radicals with no D.C. experience to oust her and/or any of the other Senior House Dems she's put in for leadership roles already?
