Democratic Leadership Elections

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Every single one of them will be toast in two years if they allow R's to pick the speaker.

Probably not.

Anyways, Pelosi will probably get the numbers she needs. The progressives opposing her don't have a clear unified choice to oppose her besides maybe Barabara Lee, and there's no way she'd challenge Nancy. She's too loyal to her.

Why doesn’t Pelosi just pull a Tom DeLay? Put Karen BassBarbara Lee in as first Black woman Speaker and then drop down to Majority Leader until she’s ready to retire?

Nancy will still be in charge but not one vulnerable member will have to take a tough vote. Hen in two years she can retire after Trump is defeated and let Speaker Bass take the caucus in her own direction...

Goodness, she's responding like the mafia boss we know she is. 

I hope she uses this much "umph" against Trump.

Spanberger also doesn't appear to be budging either after meeting Pelosi, she's a hard no vote on the floor.

Spanberger strikes me as someone who could potentially become speaker in the distant future.

Seriously though, fu** Seth Moulton. The biggest opportunist in politics today. I hope Markey gives him a good spanking and sends him packing.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Eat ****, Seth Moulton.

What are the chances Houlahan wins DPCC today?

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

The Red Roses are very angry on Twitter.

Besides his support for charter schools, why are they so angry with him?

That’s enough to be angry over.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

I can see Jeffries being Speaker in the near future maybe even a couple years from now.

Please no.

DCCC chair election happening TONIGHT after dinner-

Bustos shouldn't be given the DCCC chairship even if she would be very compotent.
It would be like giving the NRCC  chairmanship to Pete Sessions in 2017.
Her district isn't safe if the NRCC decides to contest it and she will be distracted.

Uhhh no? Difference is that Bustos can win big in Rural America while Sessions failed to even win re-election in a suburban district.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Lol.

Yeah, no, Cheri is pretty safe.

She won 55-45 in 2014, 60-40 in 2016 and 62-38 in 2018.

She ain't gonna be distracted most years, let alone in 2020.

congressmen culberson and sessions agree

Im not saying Bustos is doomed or even in a tossup
But it is on the playing field and the GOP should go for it in 2020 considering its basically IA 2nd and 1st shifted 3 points left.

Again, no. That seat has trended towards her every election.

Sean Maloney has dropped out of the DCCC chair race.

Sean Maloney has dropped out of the DCCC chair race.

well, now its going to be boring

Eh, Bustos was probably going to win comfortably either way.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Of all the people up for House leadership, the one who deserved the win the most was Barbara Lee. Just so disappointing.

I bet she would have stood a better chance if she ran against Hoyer or Clyburn. It was ridiculous how so many people were complaining about not enough young people in leadership and then left the two worst and also very old leaders uncontested.

She definitely would've beaten Hoyer, she probably didn't want to risk the division.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

YES CHERI!!

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

I'm so upset Houlahan didn't get a spot as DPCC co-chair

It was pretty close though so leadership is definitely in her future.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Jayapal for Leader '21.

Hill for Leader '31
