She's personally $200,000 in debt...and she wants to be in control of Millions of dollars in Georgia mone? No thanks
Better to have somebody who has actually served in the House, knows the politics and personalities: Beto O'Rourke.
BetoORourke should be Speaker. he has shown that he can raise serious $$ and anyone can be Speaker.
Seriously?! Who comes up with this? WAY too much time on your hands. You really think Pelosi or her eventual successor Schiff will allow this? Not to mention the outrage going against precedence? Yeah, that’s what Dems need now, a distraction from bigger issues. SMH 🙄
Oh hell no
I am a strong advocate for this idea—have been for sometime for either Rs or Ds. However, I meant make ME the Speaker of the House! Someone didn’t get the memo.
Slow down folks
The speaker of the house IS an elected position and occurs once all new members are sworn in. Their first vote is to pick a speaker of the house it usually follows party lines. I highly doubt you'll ever in history see this happen.
From the Toilet to the Drain.
Only if they want to lose in 2020. If the left doesn’t not promote moderates the country will continue to be divided.
Can we please get rid of the old antiquated out of touch leadership within the Democratic Party. They are the reason we have Trump and a Republican dominated government toady. It’s all 100% their fault.
This is absurd.
Pelosi better , seriously!
No. As much as I’d love to make a statement with this, the point of the speaker is to get thing done. That requires connections and experience. I have no doubt she’ll make a great legislator, but she’s not ready for the speakership.
Some nerve of y’all to write “likely loosing.” Smh
There's no good reason that shouldn't so you can bet they'll mess this up to
No!
Literally because she’s a black woman. No other reason. It gets old. WaPo trying to get Trump to say some off the cuff bs and use it against him.
Joke
I think some larger women are beautiful. Ms. Abrams is an intelligent woman who is OBESE & it sends the wrong subliminal message of unhealthiness to many voters. Who wants to elect that? They don't want a candidate who will drop dead or who can't fit into a normal seat on a plane
washingtoncompost what the hell?
One good reason is that more of Pelosi will serve only to hurt the Democrat’s cause
Well to start with she hasn't been elected. Other than that no experience or a clue what america wants or needs
The Democrats already have a Speaker Of the House. What the Democrats should do, in my opinion, is push very hard to have a DO-OVER of Stacy Abram's race, and I am confident she will win that Race, and becomes Georgia's duly elected Governor. Her opponent is stealing the Race.
How about eater of the house!
Yes!
That would be awesome!
Screw that ideal !!
Zzzzz Because she's a bigger hater than Pelosi? DemocratsAreDangerous
MSM would love that! Then you can cry “racism, racism, racism!” every single time the Democrats do something stupid and Trump calls it out. Perfect way to dodge responsibility. 👍
Abrams is a communist,,,,
Perspective: The answer is... She's obese, black, and a woman, so any shots taken at her let you leftists play victimhood to the hilt instead of dealing with issues.
brianoloughlin9 I think a great way to really upset Trump would be to elect Hillary as Speaker.
I admire Ms Abrams, but don’t agree with Democrats pushing this agenda at this time. Lots to do and don’t understand the ongoing vilification of Nancy Pelosi
LadyLiberty411 This is so stupid. Love Abrams, but she has house experience. You need a leader who knows the rules and how to exploit them.
Hahahahaha
Bullshit article
😂😂😂 why? Are you playing the race and gender card again? smh
Anybody but that Horrible Nancy Pelosi would be great
Want an outsider with good ideas, elect Newt Gingrich- LOL
Please make her speaker - this will guarantee huge Republican wins in 2020!
She lost
Is there any editor at the WP with common sense.If the ppl in her home state rejected her,what would qualify her to be speaker for the entire nation?
Getting rid of NancyPelosi would be a gift to the GOP. Why would they hand them that? There is a reason they hate her.
Now isn't the time for the Dem party to splinter. dozen new House members are talking abt electing someone else instead of allowing a seasoned pro to transition them in. Pelosi can gather a vote and is very effective. Another I heard mentioned is Swalwell, he would b my 2nd pick
Yeah the waffle house maybe..
Umm...she's not even in the House. We're still waiting to hear if she'll be Governor. What?!
TheOffsideRules evening and hecame, bringing
Well I definitely didn’t realize the Speaker could be regular person
I agree. AFTER she’s governor of Georgia. 👍🏽👊🏾✊🏿🍑
Abrams is another one of Satan's leaders out to destroy America so they can have this earth for themselves. God calls them the hell's chosen.
This is the hold my beer article of the day
FRAUD!
Lets not forget the knowledge and experience Pelosi has- let’s not throw out the baby with the bathwater
Boy, she big.
you should be governor
I absouly disagree. Nancy should be the speaker in terms temperament legislative expernce and ability however there needs to be new people in leadership.
Perspective: since she lost she needs a participation trophy. The house is not little league people!
Exactly, that be very good first step.
marti_langham Speaker can be an ordinary, private citizen. In fact, there are not legal restrictions on qualification for that office. The relevant words are from the Constitution's Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5: “TheHouse of Representatives shall chuse [sic] theirSpeaker and other Officers.'
That’s absolutely unnecessary...Nancy is 100% qualified than any of those guys combined...left her run her last mile and avoid decisive tactics.. We love Stacy but there is no time for tokenism...she is fighting her fight. As a politician she is also young she will create her own
This should definitely happen.
CecieK Great idea! Then she can run for President in 2020!
Lol
Is this a joke?
Agree
No thanks.
We need new blood in the house but the speaker must be familiar with all the ins and outs of a dishonest senate. So maybe Joe Biden ?
I like it. We need to change the way business s done in DC. Repeating mistakes of past gets us where we are today. New, younger minds will bring new ideas on how to do our business.
So if Trump and co are removed from office she becomes President?
She lost the election fake news Wapo
Clickbait tweet.
You have my support 100%
Seriously 🙄
I think that she and Beto shpuld run tpgether in 2020. They'd make a dynamite team!
They should select, as Speaker of the House, a black woman who won’t be allowed to vote? 🤨 GoodLuckWithThat
Easy answer she never got elected, DUH!
Why because she is Black Isn't that a racist thing She can't even win a race with Oprah doing her campaigning So let's not put her in any office
The suggestion is only meant to infuriate the opposite party and get reactions so the wp can print negative articles
Excellent idea!
Lol as Govenor?
You do know she ran for governor of Georgia
Because dems are just that hard up.
Yes, let's put a corrupt Abrams in another govt. office 🤔
No way
Well let's count all the votes in Georgia because I think Stacey won.
Shes incredible!!
Let's make her President so we can all be on welfare.
Not now
She is awesome. By the way, 17 black women were elected in judicial positions in Texas. Wow. How awesome is that.
no you cant do that she hasnt been elected to congress 🙄
She's running for governor, not Congress...
How in the hell can you say that S Abrams is the likely loser in the GA gov race? No she did not lose; the race was stolen from her. Report the truth. B Kemp may be sworn in as gov but will go down in history as illegitimate and a thief. Repub play book win, fk integrity.
Or, make it Nancy because she earned it.
Drug use at the totally failing Washington Post seems to be rampant.
Children can also be spokesmen, the final performance is important, and Party Democrats are always awful
Is she the lady who got permit checked?
Why is staceyabrams mentioned as likely losing when all ballots are not counted
This is a great plan
Many of us want a leader who is fresh in ideas, committed to a law abiding House and intelligent enough to understand politics, America's needs and our place in the World. Nancy was great but her time is done. Elect a man/woman who is eager, intelligent and NICE. We need CHANGE.
HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH !!!!
Who is she?
Yep, they should
Lol she lost bahahahaha
Oprah would be happy
This is really dumb
Nah we could have a TulsiGabbard
They should. These extremists are the dems
Hmmm not a bad idea at all
She lost lol
Interesting.
Another bigot and racist in a prominent Democrat position, perfect.
Democrats pick the worst cAndidates, can’t pay her taxes but wants to raise yours.
Hahahahahahaha
They should make HRC speaker
Yes because Democrats need participation trophies when they don’t win
Wrong! Nancy is more than qualified. Strong women are always needing to step aside ( age ) so that a younger less experience female can take her place. It smells like misogyny to me.
GOP people hate Pelosi but contrary to their belief she is candidate to be the speaker of the house. But time for change; we need charismatic candidates that will fight this evil regime.
Psst, this is a perfect example just how out of touch the fake media is.
Hold him accountable FOR WHAT! What exactly did he do that constitutes being held accountable by impeachment? NOTHING!
I like it. Politics as usual failed. Trump is unorthodox. This idea is too. Heads would explode invoking the procedure to designate as speaker someone who is not a rep. Next up ... term limits for Congress. End the “profession”! TheDemocrats GOP
Lololol
Best idea ever! Democrats should do it. nancyPelosi
What a joke
Funniest thing I've read today. Was that potential script for House of Cards?
?
This is the most absurd thing I've read in...minutes.
Are you saying your hatred of Pelosi is personal, rather than misogynistic? Stacy is great - and I hope she gets her governorship - which she won. Pelosi is the best speaker. Period.
Ok this is kind of dumb. Actually, I was too kind. The speaker of the house is in the line of succession, thus should be elected. Smh
We Dems have an uncanny lack of military strategy--you do not fire Patton before the Battle of the Bulge (even though Abrams is qualified)
She didn't win anything. Oh, everyone gets a prize?
WAPO...you are allegedly a Newspaper. The news is .. she LOST the ELECTION... she is going nowvhere...
Hell no! That would make her 2nd in line to the Presidency!
Is no one going to point out that Stacey abrhams isn’t running for the house but the governor ship. She couldn’t be speaker if she tried. Like weird flex but ok
YES!!!!
Fantastic idea!!! She is AWESOME
God forgive them.
Is that even possible?
Democrats love Pelosi. We’ve watched her rise from the ashes of stupid voters. Her accomplishments are legendary in the party. Only republicans and bernicrats hate Pelosi and they’re not in our party.
Nah. It’ll be Pelosi, and it should be Pelosi. Dems would have neither Obamacare nor Tuesday’s results without her.
LOL...Dems are all crazy evil! The Senate has the power, and the executive. Go learn how Government actually works.
Pelosi represents the PAST. Anyone else represents the future
Because she black?
Nancy haters should like or hike
She is a crook and cheater
Nancy Pelosi is the best reason I can think of for making Stacey Abrams speaker of the House.
Everybody hates Nancy pelosi lol
