Nancy should never have let it get to the floor for a vote
unless she was damned sure it would pass.

1. She is not strong that way, but it is better to have the votes on record. At least

2. I have tried to support her through thick and thin
but now I think that she needs to be replaced as Speaker.

It's pretty clear she has failed as a leader, even ignoring issues with impeachment.

4. I think she did the right thing...
The bonner in all this is Boehner... He couldn't deliver. There was no way the Dem's were going to take this one without at least half of the GOP voting for it.

6. I wonder if the Whip counted the votes
Or just left it up to chance?

8. Republicans wanted this to pass with Democratic votes.
Boehner should have done his part.

9. I Think She Got Sabotaged
There was supposed to be a deal. The Republicans stabbed her in the back. Probably too many GOP congressmen scared of losing their seat if they voted against the right-wing populists.
