1. Who's that who said that NP wasn't the right one for the job? (Not you)

THIS is why we need her. A MASTER representative.

[msongs]

2. nancy, the origianl problem solver shows the 3rd way crowd how its done nt

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

8. Exactly what we need. A procedural genius.

Love this woman. (Second only to HRC and Mrs. Obama.) Wonder what her blood type is? In case she needs a kidney or whatever in my lifetime.
PS...they can have one too. First come first serve.

3. Pelosi is an amazing leader

[Bilegurken]

4. I'm a millennial and

I travel in a circle full of die hard Bernie people who were SOOO against her being speaker. When I would say "I support Pelosi for speaker because she is the most progressive person running for the position and she has a record of getting things done". These folks looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears.

They kept on and on about age. Totally oblivious to what should have been an obvious irony.

7. Screw the BoBs, they've likely been infiltrated by the Russians so sow division

in the Democratic Party, a party their guy won't join but has no problem using it when it suits him.

10. After decades of social life....

I don't talk about politics w friends. (Even though all are Democrats)
The golden rule at Lodge.

[mitch96]

35. Same here...

Long time friends on both sides of the isle... I don't talk about religion, politics or sports..
We are still friends...

16. Good for you for speaking up

And welcome to DU

[akraven]

20. I live in a maximum red state.

I'll trade your lobsters for a couple of King Salmon! LOL! Remind me not to get into it with an idiot at a restaurant. Oh, they pitched his ass!

[srobertss]

25. I'm a die hard Bernie fan...

...but I knew the challenges were coming from the right. Sounds like these people are not paying attention. I think Nancy Pelosi is a very talented leader, though she is more centrist than I am. You don’t want to throw away talented leaders.

[paleotn]

29. Age means experience....

Youth is nice, but more than a little overrated when it comes to running a damn country. Give me those who know what the hell they're doing.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Appears to be a move

to hang this Shut Down threat directly around Ryan and Meadows neck.

[NastyRiffraff]

6. That's EXACTLY what she's doing

Bet on it. Sure, she hopes a miracle will happen and the Republicans will deliver the needed votes. But even if it fails, she's made her point.

Damn, I love that woman.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. She is so far ahead of Ryan

that his Jock Strap is laying on the floor.

[erronis]

24. Love the imagery and there are at least two reasons for that underwear on the floor

She can sprint so far ahead that he's draggin his ass, or
He just doesn't have any cajones/etc. to fill it.

[Wellstone ruled]

36. So much for all that PT-90

[ffr]

11. This makes me so proud!

Fight for what's right.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Just gave the Dems the Next President no

matter who runs.

[cstanleytech]

17. Well it should hang on all the Repugnants necks and I hope it hangs like an anchor come

2020 and ends up costing them their position in a blue tidal wave.

[Wellstone ruled]

18. Blood in the water my friend.

And the GOP is now Shark Bait.

[True Blue American]

38. You are so right

Mark Meadows, backed by billionaires and Gym Jordan need to go.

But, oh how wonderful it is that old Lady is going to kick the s*** out of them come January!

Meadows is the one who pushed Trump not to sign. Last ditch before they get shoved asided.

Pardon my language, 3 years ago I seldom cussed!

[Wellstone ruled]

39. The statement,you could see that coming is so true

today. With McConnell and his so called get Hillary team now at the White House,the rest of today will being real ugly.

Thinking about this,the GOP is now in the same space as the Whig's of a century ago.

13. Is "CR" Continuing Resolution?

just checking

[red dog 1]

14. Yes

[diva77]

37. Thank you.

[red dog 1]

15. I wish her luck; but Eddie Munster is a tough foe, and he'll fight like hell against

ANY move by House Dems to force a "clean CR vote"

So far, absolutely NO MEDIA COVERAGE of this move by Pelosi!

[red dog 1]

19. Latest from AP

After emerging from last-minute White House meeting between Trump and House Republicans, House Speaker Munster "told reporters that he and other GOP leaders were going back to try to add more on border security to the legislation."
(via WKM-TV, Nashville, Tenn.)

[MiniMe]

21. Notice he said Border Security, not a wall

[red dog 1]

34. Eddie Munster and Turtle-Boy don't want a wall, but more "border security" is fine

with them.

[AllaN01Bear]

[Drahthaardogs]

23. Kick their ass Nancy!

Yeah!

[Achilleaze]

27. What happened?

Any news on the outcome?

[BumRushDaShow]

30. Looks like the motion to table prevailed, so the privileged resolution is dead...

[NurseJackie]

32. Experience we can trust! NANCY ROCKS!!!

[aikoaiko]

33. I wouldn't be surprised if this is collaboration to work around Trump

Really, it wouldn't surprise me if Ryan and Pelosi said we need to be the grown-ups and yet give political cover from the angry orange tyrant and his supporters.

[True Blue American]

40. Mitch told Trump

He did not have the votes for a nuclear option. They are beginning to back away from the raving lunatic.
