1. Oh FFS

Any info on the names of the ten?

2. and they will fail.

3. Tim Ryan again. He wants the job for himself. He also supported the GOP Tax Scam.

The media's trying to sow division with this. I've seen it everywhere. And Trump will probably use it, too.

12. People who voted for the GOP tax scam or to kill Obamacare have no business leading the

Democratic Party

17. Yep, Tim Ryan

First he tried a proposal that the Dem leader needed 218 votes in the caucus to be nominated for speaker. This gathered a whooping 11 members support, so it looks like he's lost a supporter since then.

But here's the message for Tim Ryan, in an age of an increasingly diverse America and Democratic caucus, no one wants a pasty white guy from conservative Ohio who simply does not represent it as leader or speaker.

4. Talking about this now only proves to me how they do not deserve shit from me. Pelosi, all the way.

5. Pffft

6. Just noise. We need to stay focused on the madman in the White House and

our democracy in crisis. And I have no doubt that Speaker Pelosi and the rest of our Dem Reps are busy doing just that.

7. 10? 10 whole members, eh?

Hmmm, let me do the math. 10/435 = .023. I'm not impressed and neither is Pelosi. Just so much noise.

15. Well, add the 10 to the GOP, who will vote against Pelosi of course.

That's the danger.

8. ten out of hundreds....yawn....

[leftynyc]

9. 10?!!!

Nancy has nothing to worry about.

[Blue_true]

10. They are going to lose, big. nt

[gratuitous]

11. They're certainly entitled to advance their ideas

But I don't see why NPR feels obliged to cover the political equivalent of a three-year-old's temper tantrum. They certainly didn't waste much time on anti-Trump Republicans.

13. Idiots

[dawg day]

14. Circular Firing Squad, meet the Democratic Party

[Doreen]

16. So, basically they are traitors to their own party.

[RiverStone]

19. I don't think disagreement on Nancy equals traitors

Dems don't march in lockstep like rethuglicans. I think a healthy debate on who should be speaker is valid and part of a vibrant party.

20. We have only had the house for three days lets not start in on each other

so soon. We need to start placing a strategy to fight the Repukes not each other. I understand there may be people who do not want her but just wait for a little while. She has been talking about passing it on not to long from now so going after her is not necessary at this time.

18. there is a BAD woman on Chuck Todd right now. She sounds ANTI-Democrat if you ask me.

she is from virginia
