When the conversation turned to the question of whether Nancy Pelosi should be the next speaker of the House, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proposed an alternative.
Instead of maintaining the status quo in the House Democratic Caucus, the most talked-about Democratic congressional nominee of 2018 told a reporter, “I’d like to see new leadership, but I don’t even know what our options are. I mean, is Barbara Lee running? Call me when she does!”
That was a knowing response from a savvy Democrat, who became the face of a progressive surge within the Democratic Party after her June 26 primary defeat of Congressman Joe Crowley, the party’s fourth-highest-ranking leader in the House. Crowley was widely seen as a contender to replace House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and in the event of a Democratic takeover of the chamber, the speakership.

Democrats, Democrats, Democrats...blah blah blah...
I think Barbara Lee and Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters should form a coalition and all three take care of business together. And to be fair, bring back Barnie Frank so they can have an old white homo.
That’s right! The other Lee == Sheila Jackson Lee. Her poise and list of accomplishments are jaw-dropping.
You beat me to it. Maxine Waters should be leader of the democrats. Any democrat who doesn’t support her to replace PeeLousy is obviously a racist.
"Peach forty fi" sounds like a cheap fortified peach wine, shelf mate to Mad Dog 20/20 or Richard's Wild Irish Rose, the kind of wine they sell in ghetto convenience stores.
I used to get Maxine Waters mixed up with Moms Mabley. But then I remembered unlike Maxine, Moms Mabley is funny.
Too bad; but Che G. hated Mexicans; he'd have no shot in the present circumstance. Hated blacks, too; thought they had no work ethic.
You forgot to add......Maxine’s so articulate w/ an impressive command of the English language.
So many fine Democrats to choose from who have been in the house 20 years

I cant wait until we finally get to see all these new ideas that nobody in history has ever thought of before
“Barbara Lee Would Make an Excellent Leader of House Democrats”
Actually I agree. Her or Maxine. The moron with the red cowboy hat is pretty good too.
Crowley should run as an independent in the general election. This woman has shown she is a real idiot whose thinking is so shallow and uninformed that the people who gave her the win in the primary over Crowley might just elect him after seeing who/what she is.
But she can’t read/write incursive.
Mad Maxine would be the best minority leader.
Barbara Lee would be a vast improvement over Nancy Pelosi...more competent, more principled and not in the thrall of the deep state.
Too bad......smirk.
She would be an inspiration to debate teams everywhere.
Another America hating communist. I am shocked.

It has a tradition to uphold. It is, after all, this nation’s oldest publication that has been solidly devoted to promoting the ideas of Karl Marx since its founding.
Barbara Lee would also make an excellent leader of a socialist coup against the current Democratic party Establishment.
What is the likelier 2020 Democratic Presidential ticket — Casio-Cortez/Lee or Clinton/Kaine?
How long before Democratic Establishment supporters start calling themselves Never Casio-Cortezers?
