More like eight years ago. She lost it in the Tea Party landslide in 2010, because they didn't like Obamacare.

Really, Roll Call. That's just sloppy.

Here are the 15 Democrats who didn't vote for Pelosi as speaker [View all] mobeau69 Jan 2019 OP

That is their right, but to vote for someone not even running or desiring that position makes me still_one Jan 2019 #1

It's contemptuous, in my opinion. octoberlib Jan 2019 #2

Pretty accurate characterization still_one Jan 2019 #13

Exactly...they were influenced by right-wing talking points unitedwethrive Jan 2019 #6

This has to be true for some, and of course right wing does include Hortensis Jan 2019 #22

So Seth Moulton , after causing all this shit, voted for her. octoberlib Jan 2019 #3

Surely not Tim Ryan too ???? OnDoutside Jan 2019 #17

He wasn't one of the 15 who voted against her, so unless he didn't vote at all, octoberlib Jan 2019 #19

Yes, but this sexist and partisan "shit" has always been hers to contend with. Hortensis Jan 2019 #23

Pelosi won she is speaker. rurallib Jan 2019 #4

Pelosi does not forget, enjoy your basement offices and shit assignments. sunonmars Jan 2019 #9

I think that she is above that. She likely will mentor some of them. nt Blue_true Jan 2019 #26

Thanks, I need to narrow my list for campaign contributions. nt oasis Jan 2019 #10

Some of them only won because they said they would stand up to Pelosi. haele Jan 2019 #11

I'm believing that is the case......... MyOwnPeace Jan 2019 #31

I kind of like the Stacey Abrams and John Lewis votes * MaryMagdaline Jan 2019 #14

I don't care... cynatnite Jan 2019 #18

Some did it because they ran on it...two years from now they must be re-elected. Demsrule86 Jan 2019 #20

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot about that. n/t cynatnite Jan 2019 #21

Cut them some slack. They kept a campaign pledge with no damage done. Blue_true Jan 2019 #25

I think the issue is why Trumpocalypse Jan 2019 #27

Good point. But getting a majority means there will be districts where such a promise carries Blue_true Jan 2019 #28

Very true Trumpocalypse Jan 2019 #32

We will find out. I trust them to do the right thing. Blue_true Jan 2019 #33

So what? She's not Trump; she can handle democracy. LongtimeAZDem Jan 2019 #29

And Nancy is perfectly fine with it. She needs the members and their votes on key issues. Yavin4 Jan 2019 #34
