Who could conceivably come out of the Democratic Party to lead the House?

Is it possible they could screw up that vote and McCarthy becomes speaker?

They should hold the vote in Broward County, then the Dems would likely fail to name a speaker prior to 2020.

No it wouldn’t. I think you just have to have 218 or the most if that doesn’t occur.

they are fighting over it. they fought this before. the BCC wants one of their own, Pelosi gets the Cally bucks for them so she will be Speaker and the BCC will get big committee titles and better offices.

meantime we are left with denture clacking dementia loon. in her first speech for Speaker she said drain the swamp. they are so out of touch they have no idea what this means. she also said jobs jobs jobs

Worse for the GOP. She is a easy target.

Lose her and it could hurt re-election bids for the GOP in 2020

Heard someone say today that Beto should run. You don't have to be in the House to be elected Speaker...

Is this true?!

Not sure about that. I think if Dems split their vote or if some of them voted present to "protest Pelosi, that Mccarthy could win.

I think so. I seem to remember a while back a few Republicans talking about voting for Gingrich when he was no longer in the House.

Not for long. He gave up running for reelection for his House seat to run for senate. He won’t be in the House when they vote for the new Speaker

I’m not leftist but Tulsi is fairly moderate unless she has some rants I’m not aware of.

There are a lot worse options than her.

there is NOBODY close to the power of Pelosi in the dim House. The only way she isn't speaker is if she passes away first.
