1. Of course she has.

Did anyone really doubt it?

[ananda]

29. Not here.

I always considered it a slam dunk.

That other business was MSM shit.

[MineralMan]

30. I really just ignored the controversy.

I couldn't see any reason why she wouldn't be chosen, so I paid no attention to it.

[llmart]

54. I chose the same stance as you did.

I don't believe I ever clicked on any threads that wanted to sow discord, and I never for a moment thought she wouldn't be chosen.

[sheshe2]

2. K&R

[aquamarina]

3. Welcome back Madam Speaker!

[tblue37]

43. That is *nominated*. The fools could still throw a monkey wrench into the process. nt

[DownriverDem]

60. Do they want Kevin McCarthy?

It will be explained to them that if they don't vote for her, Kevin McCarthy becomes Speaker. It won't be that a Dem will beat her. They never put up someone to run against her yesterday. Now it is between Pelosi and McCarthy.

[Sanity Claws]

4. Third in line

I hope #1 and #2 go shortly

[libdem4life]

10. I'd wager that #1 and #2 are going to bit too busy

handling their Russia Probe misdeeds...or crimes...or treason. Or better yet in a safe place...with walls and doors that lock and have guards.

After all these years, President Pelosi, aka Madam President, sounds mighty good.

[AZ8theist]

20. I couldn't agree more!!!!!!!!!!!!! nt

[lagomorph777]

38. That's a really interesting point. Makes (hypothetical) impeachment more useful.

But you'd have to indict or somehow expunge McTurtle and a bunch of his Comrades in the Senate first... Can Mueller help?

[FakeNoose]

5. She's most deserving and qualified to lead the new session of Congress 2019-20

[onetexan]

22. second that - congrats Speaker Pelosi!!

[calimary]

44. DAMN STRAIGHT!

YES, I'm SHOUTING!!! (For joy!!!)

There was nobody better, or better-suited. But how could you possibly find anybody better when you already have The BEST - experienced, battle-tested, and ready to go?

[llmart]

55. What a role model for all those newbie women reps!

OK gals. Let's show the old boys club how to get things done that will benefit Americans.

[Me.]

6. WAHOO

[Glimmer of Hope]

7. So comforting to know she is leading.

[mcar]

8. Never had a doubt

[11cents]

9. Come on. This caucus vote was never in doubt. The issue is the House vote for Speaker.

It's unlikely that she'll lose there either, but that's where pressure can be applied, both for good and ill.

[rurallib]

28. Thank you for being a voice of sanity

I believe the speaker is chosen on Jan. 3rd and the "Problem Solvers" could cause some problems then.

[boston bean]

33. You sound mad.

[Ohiogal]

11. GOOD!

You go, Madame Speaker!!!!!!!!!!!

[Achilleaze]

12. Kal tchi! (good luck)

[George II]

13. Saw that, but I wasn't sure if the caucus took the vote yet

That's great, now the renegades have to openly vote against her if they have the guts.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. Good news

[malaise]

15. This was never in doubt

Most excellent

[lilactime]

16. Go Nancy! The REAL problem solver!

[calimary]

45. Yep.

Our Once-and-Future Speaker of the House!

[sunonmars]

17. What they on about in the piece, "a showdown vote" in January, its her or the republican...done deal

[ancianita]

18. The best leader in these difficult times.

[DesertRat]

19. Yea!

[NastyRiffraff]

21. So much for the non-story

that claimed she was in trouble for the speakership. It's expected that much of the media would push the "story," that's what they do. But some so-called progressives were also gleefully repeating it, as if there were a credible candidate opposing her.

[libdem4life]

24. Their Report Card.

An A for... ryhmes with grAssholes

a B+ for Bullying

a C+ for Collusion

a D- for not acting like Democrats.

2 Fs....for eFFort to screw things up

On ATTITUDE

two Ps .. for Pity Party.


FINAL GRADE ... Pass/Fail...FAILed to proceed to next level. Held Back (out of committee assignments) for a year.

[calimary]

50. The media remains desperate for a horse race.

It's a shame, really. Especially for those viewers who have to watch their blood pressure.

Remember what Les Moonves said (former head of CBS) - "trump is bad for the country but he's GREAT for ratings!" (Paraphrasing.)

[AZ8theist]

23. I will enjoy, beyond belief....

Watching that fucking WORM Paul Ryan hand over the gavel to Madam Speaker and then crawl back under the rock from which he came.

There are only 2 human beings more loathsome than Ryan.

1. The Pumpkin Headed Imbecile
2. The Traitorous Turtle

[katmondoo]

25. Joyfull news, Thank you all for keeping the DUers in touch

[AC_Mem]

26. I predicted this

when I did readings a couple weeks ago about all this stuff and posted it on DU. There was never a doubt according to the cards; she was the STAR

Go Nancy!

[orangecrush]

27. Congratulations!

[smirkymonkey]

31. Woo Hoo!

Congratulations Madame Speaker!

[ehrnst]

32. Overwhelmingly! She has their confidence! (nt)

[elfin]

34. Hooray! We need a tough and experienced person to lead us through the mire on to 2020.

Any other choice would tap into the Dems favorite pastime - weakening ourselves just when strength and savvy are needed the most.

The newbies need to be included on powerful committees to build the Progressive majority as they confront reality in the mechanisms of governing beyond inspirational speeches.

[volstork]

35. Oh,

It's ON now!

[Awsi Dooger]

36. Dow up more than 600 points to celebrate

Nasdaq up nearly 3% to celebrate

I'm sure that's the way Trump will frame it

[Tiggeroshii]

37. Do y ou think she made a deal with the "problem solvers?"

For the rule changes?

That would be slightly horrifying...

[Jersey Devil]

47. According to what I read, yes, she made a deal with them

I don't know if she agree to all their rule changes, but they have withdrawn their objection to her as Speaker

[grantcart]

63. I think she solemnly agreed to pursue reforms that she has already been pushing for.

Gives them a little fig leaf to show their friends.

[Tiggeroshii]

65. I just dont want her giving up a ton of power that the repugs gave

Themselves to tilt thw playing field. That playing field is now in our advantage and Democrats would be stupid to give that up.

[grantcart]

66. After she is Speaker she will wield enormous power

[Rhiannon12866]

39. Great news!

[Pa-Kid]

40. Great news

She is who we need leading our house

[shanny]

41. I just read she cut a deal

with the Democratic members of the so-called Problem Solvers. Anybody know if that's true, and if so what it was?

[Purrfessor]

42. She still has to survive the floor vote in January...

And with 203 votes for nomination she is still 15 votes short to win approval.

[NurseJackie]

46. Nancy Rocks!

[Joe Nation]

48. Literally the most effective Speaker of the House EVER!!!!

She is going to do some serious ass kicking.

[ewagner]

49. Welcome back Madam Speaker (2)

[stonecutter357]

51. K&R

[dalton99a]

52. Idiot better learn to say "Speaker Pelosi" instead of "MS-13 Lover Nancy"

He won't, of course

[Scurrilous]

53. K&R

[hostalover]

56. I am SOOOOOOO glad!

[Progressive dog]

57. Never a doubt

She won in a landslide.

[Sprite]

59. President Pelosi

I predict Nancy Pelosi will be president of the United States in 2019. Trump and Pence are going down.🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸

[workinclasszero]

61. Back where she belongs!

[gademocrat7]

62. Congratulations, Madame Speaker!
