Nancy Pelosi led her party to a historic victory on Election Day. And yet she still faces real hurdles to reclaiming the speaker’s chair after an eight-year absence

Just B/S. No one more deserving and more respected! Can you show me a fighter like her?

Oh come on! Someone else needs to step up here. I've had enough of Pelosi.

Because no one can match NancyPelosi’s qualifications.

Pelosi as speaker will drive the Dems even deeper in the hole that they keep digging. She will disrupt any possible progress that REPS present. And don’t even get me started on Waters.

As a Dem I would prefer some YOUNG BLOOD

Democrats need to fine fresh blood and a younger generation and put asunder the old order establishment. That is how to rebuild a viable political party.

Disgruntled? They just took back the house under her leadership! I’m so sick of Dems self- inflicted wounds.

Many democrats in the house have no proven ability to manage a caucus, a legislative agenda or fund raising for down ballot candidates.

they need new blood! Let the old timers step aside

This is the problem of Dems and wildly unpopular foregone conclusions. Anyone remember why happened in ‘16? Pelosi WILL cost us in ‘20.

Oh, she knows what she's doing and she's fine for now. Let the younger ones learn the ropes and come back next time.

There is no where in the Constitution that states that the Speaker of the House has to be an actual member of the House of Representatives!! Something to think about ...

For 2yrs don't fight, NP is stability, successors can prepare, build and be trusted.

love her or hate her, she gets stuff done. i dont like the idea, but i dont see many options. not many people can navigate the house like she can.

The Democrats have gained the house back but they are internally weak. They need young strong leadership if they want to get anything done. Time for the old guard to step out of the way. They can pass on their experience and mentor.

Pelosi brings in the money and establishment Democrats are loathe to give up their top positions for new blood. Look at who holds the most power. Pelosi isn’t going anywhere until that changes

At the next State of the Union address will Mike Pence will able to sit next to a woman that’s not his wife?

I want Nancy Pelosi to get in Donald Trumps GRILL, BIG TIME ! Trump will hate that. Especially since he used Nancy Pelosi as a punching bag at his sickathon rallies. Let Trump have to face Nancy Pelosi as a winner, and he's a loser in front of his base. The stock market went up

Agree!!! It should not be Nancy!!!

“Many” is horrifically vague . Focus on accuracy and not sensationalism. You’re walking a tightrope on this one. tabloid

Now is not the time

Nonsense. I’ll bet you couldn’t name more then a handful. Just another right of center media meme.

Please stop. We all know they will do there thing...not news.

come on people, unite, don't fight in the party. join together!

If anything I mean anything's goes wrong in the next 2 years. Trump will blame Pelosi and America will believe it. Pelosi is too much of a Republican took at this point.

I think Nancy is good at the Speaker job!

New leaders are needed

Nancy gotta go home and leave the scene to younger.

So basically your tweet is total BS. There was a blue wave and your hacky right wing writers can’t stand it.

No one else will run because of fear.

Nah let her try again she did so well the first time .

Trump is scared of Pelosi for a good reason. She knows what she is doing. Stop it Dems!!

😂 At this article. You know the BernieBros clicked right away.

They’ll all vote for her.

Many or some? If no one wants to run against NancyPelosi, could it be because she has the support of the majority of House Dems?

“Many” is five, tops. So what’s the point of pushing this bro-click bait? Ah. I answered it myself.

Pelosi is going to be speaker. Quit trying to do to her what y’all did to Hillary

Nancy Pelosi is a credit to Paul Ryan & Mitch McConnell.

Nancy is the woman for the job!

Leave it to the Democrats to unravel.

I am starting to think Politico does Trump's bidding. Is it true?

This is absurd. Nancy Pelosi is the greatest, most effective Speaker in our lifetimes. A few mediocre white males does not equal 'many,' no matter how 'disgruntled' they may be---AT NOT HAVING HER CHOPS, HER SKILLS, HER SPINE OR HER STEEL. Send 'em home to get their shineboxes.

Ugh! Get over it HouseDemocrats you newbees got voted in to do WORK, NOT work AGAINST your own party! Wtf?! THIS is your FIRST fight?! Do what you were ELECTED to do! NancyPelosi knows what she's doing...do YOU? Too much work to be done for this BS. Damn, what nerve, C'MON!

I agree! No Pelosi!

Third in line for the presidency. This is too terrifying a period to mess around. Did Cambridge Analytica pay you to write this? 🙄

Talk is cheap, to coin a phrase. When it comes to identifying a candidate with the actual qualifications to drive votes and raise cash, suddenly it’s crickets.

I am not a Pelosi fan and believe younger and savvy politicians need to be elevated but with Trump we need someone who knows what needs to be done and will follow through.

Nancy Pelosi gets s**t done.

Disgruntled?

Oh please 😒 Is there anyone, anyone with her experience and determination to get the job done, ANYONE? I didn't think so. Let Pelosi do her job and learn from her, so you can attempt to fill her shoes, when she's ready to pass the torch.

Grass is always greener and leadership is a contact sport - step up or quit complaining

Just saw a breakdown saying we will be doing great if we get 1 in 5 Millennials to actually vote, that's about 3-4%, but Dems are squeaking that we have to appease them and choose 'more progressive voices'... What say we restore democracy first, then appease... StopTheGOP

Now they know how we feel when you want to vote for someone else but no one is running.....

Some “progressives” always find a way to fall mindlessly in line with right-wing narratives about women such as Clinton and Pelosi. I wonder why? misogyny

Why? Is because she's not captured by Israeli lobbyists/she's not captured by Saudi Arabia? Something fishy here!!

VBS show us the disgruntled Democrats. Pelosi is tough & she'll do the job. No one wants the job because it's a tough job & they know they aren't capable to do it. Stop lying

Democrats should pull together or this will become another example of how they manage to claim defeat from the jaws of victory.

TheDemocrats need to recognize that NancyPelosi is a seasoned legislator and a focused leader. Now is not the time to go with a novice.

We don't have time for disgruntled employees...we're in a crisis.

She's pretty good at the Speaker's job, and she will be an effective foil to Trump.

'Many'....

Nope

A new generation just created the new majority. Time for new leadership - however, it has to be someone that can go toe to toe with Trump’s ego. They could elected Beto O’Rourke since the Speaker doesn’t have to be a member.

Well isn’t that just an exemplar of the whole political culture. Stomp your feet, complain, but don’t do a thing about it

How many is 'many'?

Tell those ‘disgruntled’ types to get in line. We need senior level leadership —this is crisis go time. This is not unlike WWII election of 1940. It is just distraction. Tell them to get to work. Hit the ground running. This is go time!

If it's another woman. I'll consider it. If not.... It ain't gonna work in a year where there will be more Congresswoman

There are no disgruntled dems right now!

RepBarbaraLee will run, and the Democrats better support her.

RepBarbaraLee the country needs you. step up

New Sheriff in town...

Steny Hoyer?

I read Steny Hoyer was going to oppose her.
