@MoveOn
We strongly support and call on all members of the Democratic caucus to support @NancyPelosi for Speaker. Were it not for her skilled and effective leadership, the ACA would not be law today. Dems must reject attempts to defeat her and move caucus to the right

1. Democrats should be wary of throwing away one of the most disciplined speakers in recent memory.

Democrats should be wary of throwing away one of the most disciplined speakers in recent memory. Pick a speaker who is over their head and the House turns into a shit storm fast.

One more thing: Republicans ran against Pelosi this year and had their worst loss since Watergate.

[mcar]

2. This +1000!

The constituents of the #fivewhiteguys and other anti-Pelosi Democrats should be inundating them with calls, emails and faxes. Why are they trying to hurt the new Democratic majority in the House?

[Hortensis]

11. Yes, WHY are they endangering our new majority?

Probably most have no idea, but way past time to clue in that they are.

[Control-Z]

17. Who are the #fivewhiteguys?

Are they all new? I haven't had the chance to catch up on all this.

[Celerity]

19. here is a big list of (both new and incumbent) anti Pelosi members

3. Anyone in the caucus who doesn't support Nancy is

playing right into Republican hands.

[mcar]

4. Yep

SMDH.

[skylucy]

5. +1000000000000000000000000 and Amen.

[randr]

6. Anyone not supporting Nancy needs to be challenged next election

Blue Dogs all need to be primaried and replaced with progressive Democrats

[Blue_true]

13. I agree. A lot of people worked to get them elected and contributed money to them.

If they screw this up, they are useless to us, just primary them out and put up someone else in the General.

[BigmanPigman]

7. +1,000,000,000,000

Nancy told a reporter that most of the names that signed the letter calling for a new leader were men and she was hesitant to bring up the gender issue too. It is glaringly obvious.

[mcar]

8. She is supported by most of her caucus, incoming Reps, labor and progressive groups

She is not supported by Republicans, Dotard and a bunch of elected Democrats who don't seem to know why.

[Meowmee]

9. Good

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Phoenix61]

10. Yeah!!!!

So good to hear. Let some of our new congress critters get some experience in committees and then they can think about being Speaker of the House.

[hlthe2b]

12. Damned Right!

18. Your reply needs to be recommended!

Perhaps you could make it an OP so we can. Not to mention, for the exposure it deserves.

[Cha]

21. Thank You, Control-Z.. I'm

Glad you saw it! I'm in and out so much out here on the Island that mostly I'm not around very long to post OPs.. and my network connection keeps going off in me in the middle of posting.

[Control-Z]

32. You're welcome, Cha.

That's enough to drive a person nutty, having your connection go in and out. I have what should be reliable internet service but it's terrible. Not as bad as what yours sounds like but compared to what I had before I moved. And it makes me want to pull my hair out. I feel for you.

[Celerity]

20. great post!

[Cha]

22. Gathered up a bunch of

stellar Nancy endorsements.. they just kept coming!

Thank You, Celerity

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. yeah, but has anybody ever heard of those people

Do those endorsements stack up against five spineless blobs of generic mayonnaise*?

Nancy Pelosi Gonna Brain #FiveWhiteGuys With Gavel OF DEATH

[Cha]

24. omg! Just reading the title is

cracking me up! I haven't read Wonkette in awhile. It's so Awesome that all these really Cool Peeps are supporting Nancy.. like we just know through years of experience she'd be the best

Think I'll just c/p some nuggets here..

The anticipated electoral "blue wave" now feels more like a riptide: You don't see it coming and then it murders you

Okay!

It's no wonder architect of our success Nancy Pelosi has coasted to presumptive Speaker of the House with a pro forma closed-door vote. No, wait, that's Chuck Schumer.

The Senate is structured such that Democrats have to compete in solid red states to have a shot at the majority, and yet no one suggests ditching Schumer for Sherrod Brown, who is from the midwest and is fully conscious.

Burn!

Donald Trump and the GOP tried to frame the midterms as all about the nightmare scenario of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Every dude with an opinion -- so like every dude -- suggested that Pelosi was a "threat" to Democrats' midterm chances

These people never seem to think that Mitch McConnell, who is less popular than leprosy, is a Republican albatross. Once the results were in, even conservative pundit Joe Scarborough admitted that Republicans ran hard against Pelosi and suffered their "worst loss since Watergate." Here endeth the lesson.

Abigail Spanberger, who defeated David Bratt in Virginia's 7th, said she won't support Pelosi because "we need new voices." That's you, lady. You're the new voice. We're all glad you're in DC now with your new voice. We don't need "new" voices as House Speaker. We need an effective voice that knows what the hell it's doing. I don't even want a "new voice" for my dental hygienist.

BaZing!!

Priceless! Thank You, Hermit!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. was hoping you'd like that :)

I check wonkette when things make me want to smash furniture. That part about Schumer, IMO, just highlights how there might be a bit of sexism at play here. Hey, it exists somewhere, I'm told.

The Repugs are desperate to keep the gavel out of Pelosi's hand. Did you see the thread unroll explaining that attempt to contrive conflict between Nancy and Ocasio-Cortez?

I think that is finally getting more attention than the misinformation about a "protest". Not much chance M$M will try to undo their rush to judgment, though.

It was a relief to see this OP and the one "Indivisible endorses Nancy Pelosi for Speaker":

All this stuff interconnects!

27. I was still laughing the

2nd time I read it just now. Stephen Robinson is a genius the way it makes this shite funny!

Yes, I saw that thank you! And, to mcar for posting all those endorsements for Nancy OPs!

That's true.. my Blue Dog Congressman, Michael Arcuri, District 24, in New York lost his seat after he voted for ACA(Healthcare!). In the big Hate Machine 2010.. courtesy of rw and purity stay-at-homers.

Obamacare still popular.. Nancy helped get it in and now she can help protect it. Funny Ol World!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

30. thanks for the thread!

I hadn't seen any other writing by Robinson. He seems to 'get it'!

There's not enough said about those who risked, and lost, their seats for taking a stand for US. May they find reward in their accomplishment or a new seat at the table if they seek it.

[Cha]

31. You're right.. not enough said

about this. I had forgotten until Stephen Robinson brought it to my attention in his tweet.

That's another thing the rw tried to take down with their millions of $$$ Hate Machine.. AHC/Obamacare.. just like Nancy.

You're Welcome

[OnDoutside]

28. Call your House rep and tell them you want them to support Nancy !

[duforsure]

29. Unity is what will win

Not allowing others to divide the Democrats will win. Remember how divided some were when Obama was President , and all the things lost because of it. Pelosi better get these malcontents whipped int shape quickly or this will happen again.
