1. Really hoping in 2020 Cecile Richards runs for office.

She is an outstanding leader among women.

Would be poud to have her in the Democratic leadership in DC.

16. 100% agree. She really should do so. I thought stepping down from Planned Parenthood would see her

running for something.

2. Cecile Richards gets it.

[DFW]

12. Cecile usually gets everything!

She is truly a national asset. I hope she stays in the national spotlight. We need more women like her.

3. I hadn't thought about it like that, but she has a point.

I keep thinking that if Republicans don't want her in that position, all the more reason for her to be Speaker again.

This article from WaPo last summer explains a lot:

What Republican attacks on Nancy Pelosi are really about

4. The attacks on Pelosi are transparent to all who look...

The GOP wants no part of her in power again because of two very simple facts:
1) She gets things passed. She knows her caucus and is able to get what she needs...
2) They have been campaigning against her for the last decade + since ('08) and the results are starting to look pretty dire from a GOP point of view - trying to keep people scared of Nancy Pelosi gets harder and harder every year the world doesn't implode...

[George II]

5. That's exactly my thought. Anything they don't want I'll advocate for. Besides.....

....most of these anti-Pelosi attacks are based on "reasons" that the republicans created anyway.

6. Pretty obvious what it is

7. from the replies ...

15. Exactly!

17. R.e.s.p.e.c.t - Lord knows she's earned every letter of that word.

[Hekate]

8. Spot on

9. Nancy told a reporter yesterday that almost all those who signed

a letter that they won't support her are men. She also was hesitant to mention this fact since she doesn't want to use the gender issue as a reason for this attitude.

10. Nancy Pelosi is a leader. Who are the other three?

[Perseus]

11. 5-white-men...does this answer anyone's questions?

The fact that Ms Fudge is in the mix doesn't mean anything.

I think Ms Fudge needs to hear from Democratic voters, she needs to be told that, at this time, she is not welcomed in the role of Speaker of the House, for now she needs to back out, learn from those who know how to exercise the powers of that positions, and that person is Nancy Pelosi.

13. 'Cause Nancy is the one the rw spent

Millions of $$$$$ and many years going after being the most effective in her job.
