House Democrats on Tuesday delayed their leadership elections that were slated for Thursday as lawmakers grapple with their election losses and as speculation grows about a bid to challenge their long-time leader Nancy Pelosi.

The long knives are out for ol' Nancy, apparently.

Your concern is touching.

As much as I don't like it, Pelosi will remain long after she has worn out her influence and authority.

Actually, Ellison is running for the DNC and Pelosi wants to retain House Minority Leader.

Maybe. Some think Schumer should take a back seat too.

Check this out:

Call me crazy, but I don’t think Wall Street’s favorite senator, Chuck Schumer, and San Francisco Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi are the ideal people to address the economic anxiety of middle- and working-class Americans and credibly call for reform. I don’t say this to disrespect either one of them, both of whom are dedicated public servants and legislative tacticians. The problem is that they can no longer serve simply as legislative tacticians; without the presidency, they will now be the face and primary messengers of the party. Can anyone argue with a straight face that these two coastal elites and longtime denizens of insider Washington are the right look for a revitalized Democratic Party?

The "right look"? Hmmm......

I don't like either of them, but then again, I'm not a Democrat (nor a Republican). The Democratic bench is pretty feckin' weak though.

My bad. I misheard/misremembered the announcement.

There will be plenty of casualties.

We Berniecrats have put Sarah Palin crosshairs on every fucking super delegate that voted for Hillary Clinton and every Democrat that endorsed her over Bernie for the nomination. We will let the ones that supported Bernie, and then pivoted to Hillary after the convention slide. But we will be watching them.

When any of these fuckers run for office they will not get a dime in campaign money, nor we will support them in any other way. And in all elections, we will vote for their opponent, and that includes general elections against Republicans. Our goal is to end the political careers of these motherfuckers.
