'What's your beef?': Democrat Seth Moulton who seeks to oust Nancy Pelosi gets cornered

1. Vague ageist and sexist themes, without basis, that lend false weight to empty complaints. Nt

[FreepFryer]

2. He wants "true leadership" - rhetoric to deflect and demean Pelosi without substance. Nt

[Autumn]

3. No. What he really wants is "centrist leadership" which is stale moderate republican

light leadership. They fear progressives.

[FreepFryer]

6. Alas, I'm going solely on the basis of his (empty, disingenuous, shitty) words, you may be right.

11. This! Josh Holland called Moulton and Ryan the worst Democrats in Congress.

I don't what their game is here but I'm certain it's not enacting a progressive agenda.

[Flo Mingo]

4. Is it just me?

Or does this guy come across as a smarmy-ass Republican? I cringed when her referred to her as just Pelosi. Disrespectful at best.

Sit down, Junior. Let Madam Speaker handle this.

[GemDigger]

7. I shut him down (stop button) after the first 50 words.

Smarmy, know it all. I agree.

[Silver1]

9. Yes ...

Listening to him and watching him I thought the same ... he sounds republican. Something not genuine about him.

Yes, the dem party can benefit from fresh blood and energy, which we just got a great dose of. He sure sounds like the same old same old. I wonder what Beto would say on this matter. Now there's someone who speaks with sincerity.

5. An ambitious young white man who wants to reward Pelosi's hard work in the minority by throwing her

under the bus. His claims that "the vast majority" of Democrats want "new leadership" is unfounded. They would not have voted for Democrats if new leadership was at the top of their agenda. I would like to see Pelosi shepherd the party at least through the 2020 elections, and then she might be ready to make way for new leadership. Or not. That's up to her and to the party. But we shouldn't reward a great season and a solid win by firing the coach.

8. This guy talks like a republican

What "The American People" want...Bull!

Who are those "American People" who want Nancy Pelosi out? They are all republican...where does this guy get his data from?

This is the first time I hear of Marcia Fudge...And "Five White Males"? It does sound like the republican party...

[OxQQme]

10. Watching with the audio muted

He's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

12. "The American people want new leadership"

That statement echoes the Orange POS in the White House. Listening to this newbie with 3 years of experience deciding what the American people want turns my stomach. He is a power hungry guy who might look better across the aisle. Just my opinion, but I have learned to pay attention to my gut feelings in things like this.

[erronis]

13. Is this guy a (D)? Seems like an (R) in disguise. And the problem with voting the OP

I wouldn't buy a used 1960 Jaguar XK-150 for $100 from this guy. Who voted for him?

Also, while I thing the OP is valuable I frequently feel that an upvote is saying I approve of the messaging. Oh, well.

[OnDoutside]

14. Oooh that was embarrassingly weak. I'm drawn to his "we have the numbers, 17 on the letter and

10 who made promises not to vote for her on the floor" .... SO, does that mean the 17 are prepared to vote for Kevin McCarthy ???

If/When there is a caucus vote first, she just needs 120, but will probably get 221.

[barbtries]

15. i hate hearing bullshit from a democrat

Pelosi is the most qualified for the job. She has the experience, the contacts, the moxi.

[amcgrath]

16. He may be right

The Dems probably could use a more forceful leader - perhaps the new blood entering the house will fire her up.

But when a politician repeatedly uses the phrase "the american people" and consistently describes his referred candidates as "amazing" and "incredible"they are invariably talking shit.
