There is a chance that she has a quality swan song in her, but not much of one.
That's the problem with both parties.
I agree she's too old. The old guard. But if I was a Democrat, I'd want to see her there. This isn't the time for some neophyte to try to test the waters.
Source: (CNN) Democrats vote to nominate Nancy Pelosi for House speaker
I don't think there was ever too much doubt of today's outcome.
And I believe for the Dems, it is in their best interests.
I wonder if she'll cooperate with Trump more than Boehner cooperated with Obama?
I like Pelosi, but I'm wondering if she's having some health problems. After the capture of the House, after the mid-term results, there was a lot of stuttering in her follow-up speech.
Totally understand why some progressive democrats don't want Pelosi as Speaker but she has EXPERIENCE and that is more important than satisfying the Sanders supporters.
I just hope Pelosi respects trump just like Ryan respected President Obama.
So Nancy , remain seated when trump speaks. When Pence gives trump a standing ovation every time he forms a sentence - you remain seated. Do not applaud him. Do exactly the same as what Ryan did to President Obama.
Just watch trump go ballistic knowing he doesn't have two men behind him clapping and standing every time he utters a word.
Oh and Nancy - if you can organise for someone to scream out 'YOU LIE' when trump speaks - that would be good too.
The youngest party being represent by the oldest people.
Sigh, Democrats just don't learn.

He doesn't have to be likeable. He just has to be a useful idiot.Trump is a lifelong Democrat. He can work with her. But I doubt she can, or wants to, work with him. I don't see that we're going to experience another Tip O'Neill/Ronald Reagan or Newt Gingrich/Bill Clinton cooperation. Trump is just too unlikeable.
We will have to disagree on this. Even if you looked at people 10 years younger than Pelosi, you'd still be looking at Baby Boomers!
Democrats have completely failed to understand their base even when it is responsible for bringing them back to power. Even as Democrats are elected right and left because they DON'T represent the rest of the old guard, the DC leadership has done everything in its power to ignore the voices that aren't Pelosi, Schumer and Ellison.
2020 will prove at least one of us right.

Yes, of course.The key will be to see if she can get 218 on the floor vote - 203 is not enough.
Pelosi is the most successful Speaker in 100 years, which is why Republicans demonize her. We have a madman in the White House and it isn’t time to hand over the roll of containing that madman to someone who never did it.The bumbling liberal/Demos continues to trip over themselves.

So, you object to rules that the one with the most votes wins?Blame the rules governing how House Democrats elect their leadership. Who decides what are the rules are? The House Democratic leadership.
And major problem number one for those opposed to Nancy Pelosi leading the democrats: they found no one willing to challenge her for the nomination of democratic candidate for house speaker.
America in general and Washington in particular have massively declined during in time in power...So No.
No...we had a dictatorship under barack " meek mill " obama but you can call it Demo leadership.??
It happened.
You think America was better in 1918, with segregation, women unable to vote and massive income inequality?
Dictatorship, huh? That’s why he never left power in 2017... oh wait...No...we had a dictatorship under barack " meek mill " obama but you can call it Demo leadership.

Do I want to party with her? absolutely not. She's boring and stiff. the only person I can think of that might be close to that boring is Andrew Cuomo. But I don't need to wowed to buy an effective product and both are quite effective. We currently have a president who wows people but like most "As seen on TV" crap, it doesn't work as advertised if at all. BUT WAIT! If you order now we can through in religious zealot for free.
