If you create a new thread that is fake news or a troll thread, it is immediately deleted and the OP gets a temp ban of 24 hours. Also, everyone's username has a ticker/counter for how many threads/comments they've made that are fake news/trolling, for everyone to see.

This is CLEARLY a troll thread and the OP had no intention of actual political debate when creating this thread.

But yeah, that doesn't happen here on C-D LOL
aka "I know what was posted is true, I don't have a way to dispute it, so I will attack the messenger and forum"

Here's a tip. Put me on ignore. Obviously you won't address the actual topic.

No. I don't.
The voters sure do. These people ran on not voting for Pelosi. It's the 17 Democrats who signed a public pledge not to vote for Pelosi and there may be several more to join them. Pelosi is in bad trouble if just 14 bolt.

Because politicians that go on record saying what they are going to do always do what they said.

17 Democrats Sign Pledge to Block Pelosi's bid for Speaker


Would be quite the spectacle.
Oooohh, Waldo, I'd love that. If they can pull that off, then this ought to be something....

LOL. No they don't. If people actually paid attention - trump would never have gotten elected.

Those Democrats say they won't vote for Pelosi, and she doesn't have much of a margin. The overwhelming "Blue Wave" never materialized.

Thread title is delusional.

They would never vote for an R.

If Pelosi does not have 218 votes then McCarthy surely doesn't.

If Pelosi cannot get the votes another D will take her place.
