She can still be a member of the house without being speaker.

Pelosi will move America toward bigger gov't but it doesn't make sense that Americans support bigger gov't because gov't always mismanages.

Take SS as just one example. Because of gov't mismanagement the average SS benefit will be cut or they'll raise the minimum age eligible for collecting SS. Relying on a gov't that has perpetually mismanaged our finances is not a wise in general or a wise retirement strategy.

she doesn't need to be in the house either, but her voters are not informed enough to vote her out.

LOL @ "all".

Every single one? Really?

Hilarious. You need to get out more.

The word is "aisle" - unless you mean both sides of Manhattan or Hawaii - and do you mean someone like Paul Ryan?

Republicans have had the power to do something about that ... and *crickets*.

Oh, you're right about that. Look at a new, young Congress person to be - Ocasio-Cortez, and already the GOP usual suspects are going crazy and wetting their pants about her.

Idea is to not GAF about the knuckle dragging wingnuts and just do what you think is right.

The Dems have plenty of promising young candidates that don't moonlight as Antifa protesters.
What does CNN (Faux News) have to do with this?

That also applies to Finestein, Waters, and a number of others.

If the Dems take back the house it would be in their best interest to not pick Pelosi. She is too polarizing and the poster child of what is wrong with the old guard, picking someone newer and more moderate would help get the next session off on a better foot.

NOPE! It's time for Newer/Younger Millennial Grade Blood closer to the top, tempered by Older/Wiser Members who've amassed a lifetime of experience.

Winning requires the strength and quick mindedness of youth cross referenced by the experience of The Seasoned. The One needs The Other to succeed. The Other will give his/her best when attempting to help The One.
