Other good party leadership candidates: Fudge, Lieu, Schiff, Bustos, Swalwell, and others.

For various leadership positions, these are just some good considerations.

I'm sure there are others.

The polling is clear. More Dems want some change. Nothing at all against the old guard. Bless their service and many thanks. But at least within a few years, there should be some change. It's time. And there are good EXPERIENCED people out there.

There is no one who comes close to her at this point but Steny Hoyer and Jim Clyburn and both are as old as she is or OLDER. None of the younger people measure up yet. I think that Luie is a good chose, if he is mentored by Nancy before taking over in a couple of years.
