This is the nightmare scenario for House Speaker and California Rep. Nancy Pelosi and her nightmare looks like it could come to fruition. Republicans won every single race for the House that was considered a “toss-up,” a total of 27, and not one Republican lost reelection in what was supposed to be a “blue wave” year for Democrats. And because of that, when it comes time to vote for a new Speaker of The House in January, a small number of House Democrats missing for whatever reason could lead to a Republican being elected Speaker.The Hill reported.

Watch that hag try to put off the vote until she thinks she can get enough of a majority to vote her in again.

Wishful thinking. Dems always pull together for power.

How sweet it would be if Pelosi lost and McCarthy won the Speakership. I don’t believe in Karma, but I’d be willing to make an exception in the case of Ms. Pelosi.

Change the House rule on requiring attendance for the Speaker vote, blame the change in Kung Flu.
Pelosi will be the Speaker again.
And if the Georgia senate races go dimocrat, the Republic, as we know it, will be gone. Every election will be stolen by the dimocrats.

Pelosi has the votes, because she controls a lot of money, and the committee appointments.

Good grief, are we having an Eeyore convention this morning???
She could very well lose her speakership. Why don’t we root for that instead of doing the usual doom-and-gloom?

I believe that she only controls committee chairmanships if she remains speaker.

Should have said “appointments and chairmanships”… If she’s out, she’s out and the next speaker controls those.

Not going to happen. Pelosi has a lock because democrats will hold the line at all costs. Democrats will hold the line no matter how wrong the reason and republicans will screw each other over for most any reason. That's why communism is overtaking America. We've got no group that'll stand firm against it. They're too busy fighting among themselves to stop it.

Yap, yap, yap. Talk is cheap. Democrats tell the rubes back home all the time how they'll be independent and do what is best for the local yokels. Until they cross the DC beltway and do what Nancy and Chuckie and their masters tell them what to do.
Even more predictable than Lucy pulling away the football from Charlie Brown.

What difference does it make. If the Republicans won who would they get. Mitt Romney?
Fact is there isn't a real Republican in the House that can get elected.

They said the same thing in 2016. All the new incoming freshman reps were not going to vote for nasty.

McCarthy should be lobbying the handful of conservative Democrats, or those who campaigned as one, and ask for their votes to join the Republicans in a bipartisan coalition.
Offer them better committee assignments than they'd likely received from the extreme Progressives in the Democrat party.

#9 - Cheerleading and bully talk are for the ill-informed. This year, if not over the past four years, the UNIPARTY two-party mask has been torn away. If you can't see that, you aren't looking. It's time for some deep critical thinking. Now, besides happy talk, what are you willing to do about the traitorous, do-nothing Republicans in Congress and your state legislature? Can the Republican party be reclaimed, purged and reformed? That's what I'm rooting for...open opposition is more honorable than betrayal.
