Pelosi is a fund raising machine while Fudge is a money pit.
And congresscritters want to be paid above everything else.

Two in New Jersey, one in Michigan leave door open to supporting Pelosi after spurning her during campaign
Some of the newly elected Democratic House members who said on the campaign trail they would not support Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for speaker have already shown signs of cracking as Pelosi ramps up the pressure for them not to divide the party before it even takes control of the chamber in January.
Rep.-elect Mikie Sherrill, a New Jersey Democrat who said during her campaign that the party needs “new leadership, and it starts at the top,” declined to affirm that statement after meeting with Pelosi on Friday.
“I’m sorry, I got to go,” Sherrill told reporters waiting outside the minority leader’s office. She directed reporters to her press aide.
In an interview on Oct. 11 on local TV, Sherrill blasted her Republican opponent for trying to tie her to Pelosi at a debate.
“I don’t support Nancy Pelosi. I put out a commercial saying that I don’t support Nancy Pelosi,” Sherrill said.
The New Jersey Democrat is one of a handful of freshman Democrats who have softened their opposition to the caucus’s likely choice for speaker in January.
Rep.-elect Andy Kim, another New Jersey Democrat, defeated Rep. Tom MacArthur on a platform that included ushering in a “new generation of leaders” in both parties.

NJ voters had to be on crack if their vote was based on being opposed to Pelosi and believed these Democrats.
Cracking up, you mean.
You’ve got to understand how the Democratic Party works - it’s a strongarm ponzi. Eventually everyone will fall into line behind Pelosi, and next year behind Clinton again. Pelosi has a buffer and that gives her room to operate. If GOP votes extend that buffer further, it is all the more Democrats she can afford to retaliate against if they oppose her.
In other words, they want to live.
Good. Pelosi = Moar Crazy!
Down with whitey!!
Just not yet :)
I am quite sure Pelosi can be a very sinister person when it comes to holding power.
Pelosicide?
If she has a list of the conspirators, their constituents just lost representation in the House.
Like our Pittsburgh pretty boy, Conor Lamb.
Well, duuuuuh! Anyone who doesn’t vote for her will be severely punished.
Nothing shorter than the half life of a campaign promise by a politician.
I expect the blond twit who beat Dave Brat will do the same.
Paraphrase...
If you go after the Queen, you better get the Queen.
Nancy Pelosi, daughter of Thomas Ludwig John D’Alesandro Jr. who was an American politician who was a U.S. Representative from Maryland’s 3rd congressional district and subsequently the mayor of Baltimore, the D’Alessandro family is extremely powerful and has alleged ties to the Sicilian Mafia.
Democratic House members who said on the campaign trail they would not support Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
See how good a democrats words are worth.
They got offers they couldn’t refuse.
They’re not “cracking.” They were lying all along.
That is the nature of the Party of Satan, whose father is the Father of Lies.
this whole thing is nothing more than Kabuki Theater ... the noob Dems will break their first campaign promise and vote her in ... guaranteed ...
Yeah, no committee seats and no DNC financial support for your next election.
Pelosi is a fund raising machine while Fudge is a money pit.
