Our newly-elected House majority will make the decision. We shouldn't be echoing what Republicans say here on DU.
Let the House Democrats choose their own Speaker, please. That's their job, not ours. Let's not act like the Republicans, shall we?
Thanks.

(146,364 posts)the experience and proven clout? Rose or Pelosi? Which has more time at a House desk? Seems clear enough to me, frankly.

(95,174 posts)...neither are any of the other new candidates.
Are you, by comparison, saying that ONLY Pelosi has the skills to lead the Democrats?

And no, I'm not saying that Pelosi is the only possible choice. I am saying that she has a proven record of successful leadership, and that her name will be brought forward.
You know who doesn't like Nancy Pelosi? Republicans. That's who. I'm skeptical of Democrats who say the same things as Republicans. Yes, indeed, I am.
