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

    Cortez is arguably the most popular democrat in the country.

    Not quite ready for Prime Time, but yeah lol. Democrat voters persist and insist on voting people in because of their minority status credentials with little regard for anything else. In Cortez, they have a delusional socialist that doesn’t grasp some of the most basic principles of how the government works.

    In a more sane political environment Cortez should have been elected to city council [and learn the basics] but she went straight from bar-keeper to the House of Representatives.

    Nancy Pelosi WILL be the new Speaker of the House...and she deserves it.

    It is a powerful position...and she knows how to use it.

    The people who have promised not to vote for her will, for the most part, keep that promise by voting "present."

    You can go to the bank with that!

    She needs 218 votes. We'll see.

    If she had them, I think they would have voted already.

    Just proves the old adage that popular doesn't always mean good.

    What has she done to deserve it? Based on what you posted, she was born with all you require for her to be qualified.

    She doesn't need 218 for the preliminary vote...of just party members.

    The real test will come when the party nominee comes before the full House. Then she needs the 218...and I am sure she does not want any of the Republican votes that say they will vote for her.

    This is stupid, he’s had the nickname since childhood, was he thinking of pandering for votes then?
