Discussion: Pelosi To Fudge On Leadership Challenge: 'Come On In, The Water's Warm'

Whoever it is needs to get a budget passed on time. Nothing is more destructive than shutdowns and last minute manufactured crises over culture war shit.

“Seventeen Democrats reportedly have signed onto a yet-to-be-released letter promising to vote against Pelosi on the House floor…”

Our house is on fire…

An arsonist in the Oval Office keeps throwing gasoline on it…

And a handful of back-benchers are arguing over which fire hose is the most stylish.

I know I must be missing something here, but those in the “Oust Nancy Now” caucus seem to be a strange mix of (1) some newly elected left wing Members from 100% Democratic Districts and (2) some newly elected “right wing” Members from basically Republican Districts who distanced themselves from Pelosi to get Republican votes. So, do they plan to replace Nancy with someone to her left to satisfy the Occasio faction, or with someone to her right to satisfy the Moulton faction. Or do they just plan to create chaos for the New Democratic Majority before that majority even takes power. Idiots!

I hope folks realize that the House could be voting for the next President of the United States. Pence may not make it past the second cut in the Mueller investigation–given his sycophancy-- and could end up with a serious obstruction or conspiracy charge. I would rather see the presidency go to Pelosi than someone who just got off the potato truck and landed in DC.

Moron doesn’t fear anyone, but he for sure he won’t fear a newbie or someone who’s not yet prominent in the party taking over the leadership position. First he’d mock them, then he’d ignore them.

I have never so much as heard of this woman Fudge before. I don’t want her.

Things are going to get wilder quickly and we need experience running things.

Just what these times call for-- leadership that meets the high “fine” standard. Jesus. Here we go again.

It never ceases to amaze me how stupid some of these democrats can be. Was 8 years out not enough for you? Was Trumps election not enough for you? Was seeing most of your accomplishments rolled back in the last year not enough for you?
Seth Moulton needs to SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN. The self promoting asshole needs to go away.
Nancy Pelosi was the most effective speaker in modern times so sure…she needs to go. Stupid people dont stay in power long…stick with the smart ones

Pelosi’s Fudge Factor.

Pelosi doesn’t look the slightest bit worried.

She’s using this fake challenge to enhance her legitimacy. She’s willing to stand in the ring. Will anyone else? When she secures the votes in the caucus, the entire caucus will vote for her on the floor. They’re not going to hand the Speakership to a Republican.

Wasn’t the guy who Ocasio-Cortez defeated in the primary one of the top Dem leaders in the House?

With good reason. Which is all the more reason why supporting her speakership should be a no-brainer.

I dont know that he is afraid of Pelosi…but I do think he respects her for winning. Thats all that matters in Trump’s eyes.

I’d say Fudge is well intentioned so I’m not going to criticize other than to say it’s not enough to win by running against trump as the winners did this year. But to win in the future means reconciliation, comity, all those big words, in order to form a lasting vision of what the party is all about and what it can do going forward. This is not a start in that direction.

He sure as hell doesn’t respect the state she and I are from. He’s been silent on the devastating fires and its victims and has only praised belatedly first responders. He’s also tied up National Guardsmen on the border insteading of freeing them to work in the devastated areas.
