Could the ‘Squad’ Replace Pelosi As Speaker After GOP Flips Several House Seats?
MenRec ^ | 11/6/20 | Staff

Nancy Pelosi has been the subject of some ridicule as Republicans celebrate flipping several House seats in the election, opening the door to a potential progressive challenger for the position of House Speaker.

Pelosi’s shrinking majority comes as Democrats were hopeful heading into Tuesday that they could significantly expand their ranks in the House, only to see Republicans get a net gain of 6 seats thus far.

The Daily Mail reports that Republicans are on track to net 10 seats overall.

At least 13 new Republican women so far have won, a massive win for the GOP. After all, Democrats had expected to pick up 10-15 seats themselves.

Will this major shift affect Pelosi’s ability to win enough votes and retain her position as Speaker of the House?

I’d side with AoC as speaker. Just to maximize the craziness and put it out on parade.

There are. This was a wakeup call and the sane one’s are very aware that they will lose their next election if the party moves further left.

Replace Pelosi? Nope, only if she wants to be replaced. That bat has dirt on every one.

Only Pressley could do this at the moment. AOC isn’t yet old enough, and the other two aren’t natural born citizens.

We can surely HOPE that the MORON LEFT votes Pelosi OUT in JAN = NOT EVEN ONE of “AOC’s clown-car denizens” is SMART ENOUGH to do what “Nanny” Pelosi does & they will “fall on their swords”, imVho.
(Fyi, my lady says that BLONDS tell AOC jokes, as she is PURELY STUPID.)

The Dems are in the fix they are in not because of AOC but because of Pelosi who chose to tolerate it. My prediction is that neither Pelosi nor AOC will be speaker.

I think they will get rid of Pelosi and move to a more moderate representative

AOC is way too busy putting together a Trump supporter execution list

Yes! That Democrat stupidity would be the only chance we’d have for the midterms, as the stupid contingent of Republicans vote against our members of Congress after blaming them for the current mess.

ImVho, Pelosi was “THE BEST of a BAD LOT” of the DIMocRATS in the HoR & other than Pelosi, the DIMs have nobody, who is CAPABLE of “filling her shoes”.

I predict that if “HER IMPERIAL MAJESTY” is voted OUT by “the leftist clown-car” in JAN21, that the DIMocRATS will SOON “fall on their collective swords” & we will be RID OF THEM for a long time in NOV 2022, when the voters (in disgust) vote them out, en mass.

JUST my OPINION, TMN78247

Republicans should nominate AOC, then bloc vote for her. She would be such a disaster that we’d win big in 2022.

Whenever I happen to see that WITCH, Pelosi, a quote from Shakespeare comes to mind. From Macbeth, Act 4, Scene 1:

“By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes!”

gawd these people on the left are big dummies. THE SQUAD and that buck tooth idiot are the FACE of dems in the house, not Pelosi. If there were any losses it was because of them.

“I think they will get rid of Pelosi and move to a more moderate representative...[while continuing to undermine America at every turn. Just not be so OBVIOUS about it.”]

Yep. The problem is that much of the country is as wacky as she is. Would be nice of they would wake up.
