Ryan, very unlike some name that might spring overnight into your view, and the electorate's fancy, has a huge power base behind him--the Kochs, so he was never fatally handicapped by inadequate support in congress. However, he is viewed by congressional experts as both very weak and prone to foolish mistakes. Turns out he didn't get a brain transplant during that period Romney hid the Kochs' extremist stumble-foot VP choice away during that campaign.
I notice you offer no replacement, viable or idiot, no one as well allied as Pelosi, and not even someone suddenly rising out of oblivion because of some bloviation that caught the public's fickle attention.
So I'll ask again, WHO would fill the critical hole that would be left after you managed to remove the very strong and very experienced power base that keeps the Democratic house caucus pulling together. QUICK! There are only 45 others you need to choose from, and we are in the MIDDLE of the 2018 election. It's not up ahead. It's happening now.
Or is your only passion removing HER? At least the Republicans and the powers backing them have very good reason to go after her--to disable the Democratic Party. Have you nothing but her age, decades of experience, hundreds of very valuable connections, and dozens of major power alliances? (Your own charges restated, except age and sex remaining the same.)
