    Default Will newly elected MODERATE Dems divide the party?

    I suspect the Dem House members will no longer move in Nazi lockstep.

    With the exception of moron Ocasio Cortez, the far-left did not fare well in the elections.

    Many Dems ran on promises to deny Pelosi the speakership. It's going to be an interesting two years.
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    But did they really mean it?

    There are no more Blue Dogs at least not enough to matter. That fight went down over 20 years ago and the progs won.

    IDK, I think we've seen a shift this election.

    Ain't happening, Pelosi, regardless of the right wing demagogues' demonizing her, is effective, she has the contacts and instincts to get things done, she will be Speaker as long as she likes

    "President Trump, surely hoping to use Nancy Pelosi as a political foil over the next two years, eagerly endorsed the California Democrat for speaker on Wednesday -- hours after Democrats clinched a majority in the House of Representatives.

    Trump said in a tweet Pelosi “deserves” to be House speaker, and even offered to help provide the votes.


    “In all fairness, Nancy Pelosi deserves to be chosen Speaker of the House by the Democrats,” he wrote. “If they give her a hard time, perhaps we will add some Republican votes. She has earned this great honor!”

    Dems always claim the moderate label in elections, then immediately go back to full bore lefty. They will vote lock-step Pelosi just like they always do.

    I'm looking forward to seeing Ms. America, age 78, be completely incoherent.

    What else would Trump do, it's his shtick to encourage division, Pelosi ain't going anywhere, and she isn't someone Trump wants to deal with, too politically savvy

    Did I mention right wing demogogues' demonizing her?

    Tell us, what exactly has Pelosi accomplished in the past that was so detrimental to the country? And no cherry picked video of her taken out of context

    Bigdog opens with a Godwin faux pas and loses the OP.

    The Dems are going to grab Trump by the crotch.

    Excuse me. He is supporting Pelosi and even suggesting providing bipartisanship support for her. How is that divisive?
