I just saw Tim Ryan interviewed on Chris Cuomo's show

I'm not impressed.

If some want to replace Pelosi, they better do better than that.

1. he is a white man so he fulfills the top reason people want Pelosi replaced

3. Yeah, that seems to be their only argument, silly as it is.

There is no way that Tim Ryan is capable or experienced enough to be the Speaker of the House. He might fit his district, but for the nation he's quite clueless.

7. That's not my reason

I am very grateful for all that Nancy has done.
There just comes a time for us all.
We need younger more relatable leadership.
The demographics of the new person aren’t important.
The energy level and age are.

However, I agree we should wait until after the midterms to discuss this and any potentially divisive inter party stuff. We need all oars rowing 🚣‍♀️ the same way until November.

9. No, we need experienced leadership with asshat Trump...Nancy can hold a caucus. We don't

need on the job training.

10. Yep, some who want Sen. Sanders to run even though he will be near 80...complain

about Pelosi as 'old'...women have a spoil by date apparently.

2. These discussions about replacing the Democratic leaders before a very critical midterm elections I

believe is counter productive.

Not because I don't think they shouldn't be challeneged, because I have no problem with that, but it is an unecessary divisive issue at this time, and we can deal with that after the midterms.

The only thing this has the potential to do is create infighting among Democrats, and we can do that after the midterms. Let's get the majority in the House and Senate, and then I say let's go after each other all we want, whether it is leadership or ideological approcahes


Even the OPs comment that he was not impressed with Ryan kind of proves my point, it has the potential to create unecessary infighting, and let's do that after the midterms

4. I agree that it should be left til after the midterms,

but the discussion seems to be popping up and I wanted to add my 2 cents.

6. I know it is NY, and people are very passionate about it, and DU is suppossed to be a safe place to

discuss things like this, and I am just throwing my two cents also

[alwaysinasnit]

5. I would love to see Adam Schiff as Speaker.

8. No one should replace Pelosi...we need her to fight Trump...and Ryan is OK...he is in a red state

where his district/county went narrowly for Trump. A speaker must be in a super safe district...because the nature of the job drives down approval ratings.
