Scurrying and sneaking, each looking for some Democrat godfather's blessing, the race to be King 'Rat is on.
The battle to be King 'Rat among the rapidly sinking Democrats is now going full steam.
According to Politico:
The race to succeed Speaker Nancy Pelosi as the leader of House Democrats may have been clinched at a meeting in the Capitol on Sept. 1.
That’s when House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York slipped back to Washington to connect in Clyburn’s office during the summer congressional recess at Jeffries’ request.
Jeffries, the fifth-ranking House Democrat who aspires to be the first-ranking House Democrat in the next Congress, was picking up heightened chatter from colleagues about California Rep. Adam Schiff’s outreach expressing his own interest in the top caucus job.
Hakeem, it seems, was pretty sure he had it in the bag until Adam Schiff came along, sneaking around under cover of darkness to get the leadership job locked up. According to my research from last January, Hakeem's planned it out like this for years. He went running to Clyburn, the man who made Joe Biden president, to try to get Godfather's blessing again.
Clyburn, who is said to possibly want the job himself, was suitably clerical in his vaguely positive anointing of Jeffries as House Democrat leader:
“There’s nothing I would ever do to impede the progress of our up-and-coming young Democrats and I see him as an up-and-coming young Democrat,” Clyburn said in an interview about Jeffries. “He knows that, I didn’t have to tell him that — but I did.”
Asked if he would be willing to serve in an emeritus role in the leadership, Clyburn said he is “willing to do anything the caucus thinks is to their benefit,”

The lord of the RATs.
Who has the most melanin? That’s who they will put up to shut up!
Criticize? You’re a racist!
Those two deserve each other
Jim Jordan, as Speaker, should hold hearings on Adam Schiff’s many lies, then strip Adam of all committee assignments, as Nancy did to Greene.
They are too of the slimiest members of the House.
Nah, it will be just like the primaries in 2020. Make a lot of noise about minorities, then select the oldest white guy they can think of.
A rat king is when their tails all get in a knot and they
all starve to death...so that works for me.
That would be hysterical!
I liked Adam Schiff better when he was fictional.
Ironically, they are competing for who can be the most hysterical Nancy-boy.
Replacing a Loser Leader with another Loser Leader is easy ,LOL
Jeffries has only been in the House ten years. He’s probably just positioning for the future. He joined the House by pressuring Edolphus Towns out of office, raising enormous amounts of money from out-of-state. Consider that he represents New York: Raising 60% out of state means that the New York big corporate money is part of the 40% “local” funds.
Schiff has done more damage to the public perception of the Democrats than anyone sans Biden.
It makes sense — with their ability to look inward and realize why they’re losing — that he would be in the running as their leader…
Uh, oh. Are the womens being left out? Really bad optics.
Either will be excellent and perfect for 2024.
I’ll bet the Chinese spy, Fang Fang’s boyfriend gets the job. The Red Chinese have a lot of pull with the Fools on The Hill.

Gnaw and scratch would make a great political cartoon.
