As do I. Considering all but perhaps one democrat was casting a vote for Pelosi, and the opposition to Boehner scattered and not substantially organized, her point was, was the miniscule chance of unseating Boehner realistic enough to roll the dice and chance the possibility of Pelosi becoming Speaker again?
Pelosi, Boehner, what's the difference?
Minuscule chance? There was NO CHANCE that Boehner would be unseated. Period. We need to increase our profile before we can start booting the Dem-lite Republicans in Congress.
There wasn’t a chance of Pelosi being nominated. 20 Pubs would’ve had to of voted for her.
What WOULD have happened ~ with just one more “against” vote, is that it would go to a second vote. The chances of more Cheeto defectors (potentially) increases, then. Worse case...Cheeto would still be voted....but, not Pelousy. And an even bigger message would’ve been sent...or, he would’ve lost. We’ll never know. With Daniel Webster running, things could’ve changed, quick.
Rep Louie Gohmert (one of the OTHER candidates for Speaker, Mia) explained this, brilliantly.
“chance the possibility of Pelosi becoming Speaker again?”
Both you and Mia should have studied the issue more closely. There was no chance of Pelosi becoming speaker agiain and anyone making that claim is either lying or ignorant of the issue/process. In your case, you are a busy American living life, so you have an excuse to not be completely up to speed. In Mia’s case, that is what she was precisely elected to know!
Her purposeful ignorance is very telling on this issue!
Well, I might be wrong, but from what I understand, that statement is also misinformed, or a lie. The Speaker has to get the majority of the house, hence 218 votes. There are only 188 Democrats in the house. For Pelosi to become Speaker 31 Republicans would have had to vote for her. There was simply no way Pelosi was going to become Speaker. So, is she a liar, or just misinformed?
