Democrats Have No Alternative to Nancy Pelosi
Breitbart ^ | June 25, 2017 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 06/25/2017 8:22:08 AM PDT by Zakeet

After leading the House Democrats for 15 years, the San Francisco stalwart has total control of her caucus and is a massive fundraising force that her party cannot easily replace. And as the first female Speaker of the House (2007-2011), she has unique status and an array of female supporters, both inside and outside Congress.

Willie Brown, the first African-American mayor from Pelosi's hometown, cautions in his latest column in the San Francisco Chronicle that those who want to replace Pelosi should be "careful what you ask for. You might wind up with even less."

Willie Brown has never had both of his feet grounded in reality for his entire life.


Maybe so, but he has been one talented politician. He came away from it very, very well off.

When it comes to California politics, few know it better.

At the intersection of ‘queen bee syndrome’ and identity politics. The Democrats in the House haven’t built a farm team system of rising leaders, only encouraged bomb throwers to get on TV cameras to blindly parrot talking points and rile up their supporters.

In a functional party, as repulsive as it sounds to conservative ears, Debbie Wasserman Schultz would have been a natural person to rise to a leadership post, but she was groomed for years to be an unthinking sycophantic drone for so long, she couldn’t lead a rendition of ‘happy birthday’ without a talking points sheet anymore, much less leading a party in Congress.

Compound this with their problems in letting any face of the party be a moderating voice, much less a moderating voice, come out of an older straight white man’s mouth. It has to be a female or minority from here on out, not because of qualifications, but because of race and gender. Tim Ryan’s only chance at being Minority Leader is by coming out as gay.

Couldn’t happen to a better group of people.

They have a small bench of possibilities.
The bench is splintered, leans heavy to the left and the foundation is disintegrating.

If they did replace her with someone younger that would be the end of social security. The younger generation is not going to continue to fund a program that they won’t receive a benefits from.

Carlos Danger works for Trump now, if he knows what’s good for him.

Wonder how much Pelosi pays him to keep the blacks in her district under control and voting for her?

I would imagine her district is pretty lily-white.

I think it’s funny that the msm has turned on Nancy now, instead of facing the pointing the finger at their 800 pound gorilla, Hillary. She lost the last 4 special elections and the National Election. Yes, Nancy was there with her, Obama and even GWB for his last two years. Hillary. Only the msm, or a really good prosecuting attorney and judge, can make her go away.

Identity politics are dividing the party to the point of total disintegration.

Willie Brown, the first African-American mayor from Pelosi's hometown

Have there now been more than two black mayors from Pelosi's home town? What a ridiculous factoid to toss in.

Ah, but they do have a mulatto-version of Pelosi in the Senate in the form of Harris.

Does the minority leader get extra pay? Speaker does, as I recall, and the minority leader gets oodles of donations that an ordinary congress critter in the minority does not.
