And I'm thrilled that he might be feeling the heat. I'll definitely call his local office. In fact, I might go up there since it's about 10 minutes from our house. He's right next to Soopers up in Wheat Ridge on Youngfield. Stopping in might be more impactful, hee-hee!

To not realize how potent and strong Pelosi has been is to not realize that all that has happened hlthe2b Nov 2018 #11

I am not questioning Pelosi's strength, or her commitment. guillaumeb Nov 2018 #14

She must bring on the next generation in leadership, but that does not mean abandoning hlthe2b Nov 2018 #18

And when does this "bringing on" result in new faces? guillaumeb Nov 2018 #26

At no time have we ever not needed experience more. She should remain as leader and bring on new hlthe2b Nov 2018 #29

I like Pelosi just fine PoorMonger Nov 2018 #13

dont underestimate the anti pelosi crowd and what they might do. nt msongs Nov 2018 #19

They won't vote for a Republican PoorMonger Nov 2018 #32

Voting for other DEMS who can't get a majority or abstaining could result in hlthe2b Nov 2018 #34

It doesn't work like that. PoorMonger Nov 2018 #43

Indeed it CAN hlthe2b Nov 2018 #44

Again in this scenario PoorMonger Nov 2018 #65

If they miscalculated in abstaining... hlthe2b Nov 2018 #68

Yes.. and the scenario COULD play out in January... hlthe2b Nov 2018 #22

Are you serious? Newland56 Nov 2018 #35

Not what I said at all. hlthe2b Nov 2018 #38

Confused Newland56 Nov 2018 #41

I think Schumer should be replaced, too. Actually I would put that above Pelosi for priority Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2018 #36

Diversity yes, but there are still plenty of white Democrats. LBM20 Nov 2018 #49

Also, what exactly did Pelosi do to win those elections that took the House back? Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2018 #37

In my district, a woman led us to a victory. But it wasn't Nancy Pelosi. progressoid Nov 2018 #42

Not directly, but she helped make it possible , whether you want to credit her or not. hlthe2b Nov 2018 #69

'Helped' is not the same as 'led'. progressoid Nov 2018 #86

She ABSOUTELY HAS led the way for women in Politics. NO GD DOUBT! hlthe2b Nov 2018 #87

She raised a shitload of money-- directly soliciting money and also participating in fundraisers-- deurbano Nov 2018 #89

Uh, WTF? progressoid Nov 2018 #39

In January if Dems abstain or split the D vote, Kevin McCarthy could win the speakership. hlthe2b Nov 2018 #40

Sure. And we could theoretically nominate someone from the Whig party to be Speaker. progressoid Nov 2018 #47

I said it was possible and I proved why. hlthe2b Nov 2018 #51

If the D vote is split PoorMonger Nov 2018 #72

I said absentions. So, yes it is possible hlthe2b Nov 2018 #76

It was not just one woman. It was hundreds of candidates, volunteers, paid staff... LBM20 Nov 2018 #48

I never said she was the only one. Credit her where credit is due. hlthe2b Nov 2018 #55

And I was yelled at for proudly saying I am a Democrat and I was called BULLSHIT for saying so Eliot Rosewater Nov 2018 #52

Really? On this Forum? hlthe2b Nov 2018 #58

Oh yes Eliot Rosewater Nov 2018 #63

I don't understand. why would they go after you for being a "proud Democrat" hlthe2b Nov 2018 #66

Guess so...ALL I said was I support her and that I am a Democrat. Eliot Rosewater Nov 2018 #75

hmmmm. hlthe2b Nov 2018 #78

Many categories, of course. 25 years of non stop lies and propaganda about her Eliot Rosewater Nov 2018 #80

It sure does and those who won't credit Pelosi with any accomplishments likewise won't HRC. hlthe2b Nov 2018 #88
