While his potential ascension to the role would send a strong message, he has said his Speakership would not be merely symbolic and he would try to make significant changes to his party instead of just being a figurehead. “I think our party needs to be transformed and that’s what I’m talking about,” Clyburn told McClatchy Tuesday. “Custodial? Lord, no.”

It's as if Hussein never existed.

The future is so bright for dems, I gotta wear shades.

Clyburn or Pelosi? A win/win for us. Why not Ocasio?

Clyburn, who is currently the third highest ranking Democrat in the House

What exaxtly does the "third highest ranking Democrat" do? As I recall, the position was created just for Clyburn.

If Pelosi doesnt have enough votes, you are going to have a lot of competition, Jimmy.

Why not challenge Nancy head to head? It is a leadership position.

Lol.. you were right about that. A career politician who is going to save people based on skin color. It’s not 1940 dude.. there are many successful people of all colors. Are you going to allow them to conduct insider trading, like congress?

It’s all moot because they aren’t going to take back the House.

Congressman Clyburn is as unqualified as Nancy Pelosi to be speaker of the house.

He’s nothing but a privileged affirmative action candidate.

This is a great strategy for the Dims: replace one deranged lefty idiot with another deranged lefty idiot.

That’ll make all the difference in the world!
