What if the new leadership is nit as effective as Pelosi at fund raising, convincing centrist to vote on liberal policies, and not as progressive as Pelosi, you still cool with it?
Nancy has had her time. Give a young person of color an opportunity to lead the party. Pelosi and Schumer both need to go.

Recap: Theresa May statement on Russian spy
The UK will expel 23 Russian diplomats after Moscow refused to explain how a Russian-made nerve agent was used on a former spy in Salisbury, the PM says.

Theresa May said the diplomats, who have a week to leave, were identified as "undeclared intelligence officers".

She also revoked an invitation to Russia's foreign minister, and said the Royal Family would not attend the Fifa World Cup later this year.

Russia denies being involved in the attempted murder of Sergei Skripal.

The Russian Embassy said the expulsion of 23 diplomats was "unacceptable, unjustified and short-sighted".

Former spy Mr Skripal, 66, and his daughter, Yulia Skripal, 33, remain critically ill in hospital after being found slumped on a bench on 4 March.

Det Sgt Nick Bailey also fell ill responding to the incident, and is in a serious but stable condition, but is thought to be improving.

Man that's like saying.. what if Obama wasn't as effective as Hillary in 08. Obviously myself and millions of others didn't care for Hillary in 08, and rode that Obama wave instead of just following the Democratic leadership stance of wanting Hillary as the Presidential candidate in 08. All those superdelegates switched as soon as Obama starting winning. I remember that 08 primary campaign and how nasty those Clinton supporters were, talking about how Obama has no experience, and it was a mistake to support him instead of Clinton.
 
No offense but Nancy is an Italian she had her time she old and i would agree we need someone younger with a fresh mind

Yup they didn’t learn from that Obama Clinton washing and now we have Trump.
 
and that base that supported Hiliary in 08 are still in the office and dont represent the majority of the minority current mind state.
 
I'm starting to wonder if you dudes know the function of Pelosi's job.

She is not just some spokesman. I'm am fine with someone else replacing her but I want a someone that can fund raiser as good as her, that can say moderates as good as her, that is progressive as her. The last person that tried to replace her was a joke. A seemingly bought dude pretending to be a progressive. I would prefer more minority representation in party leadership but I don't just want someone that makes me feel good, I want someone effective.

There is a decent argument why someone should take over, but none of you are making it. Just say you want someone black, **** everything else, and stop drop the other weak arguments.

Because Pelosi does her job pretty well.

That is a silly comparison

Was Hillary and effective sitting president in 2008 and Obama was making an in party primary challenge? No she wasn't.

My disdain for LIBS is pretty clear but Crooked Nancy is doing an excellent job fundraising which is what you want from house leaders. Crooked Nancy has the unenviable job of raising money for Lib scum to win races. I hope Libs kick her out because no money = coal lung acquisition is within reach.

I want someone who is effective and looks like me. Is that a problem?
 
Then say that.

Go read the previous page, that is not what you were saying.

You just said you wanted new leadership and Pelosi must go. I asked you to expand, and you didn't.
I don’t have to expand. I don’t like her. She doesn’t represent my interests and I feel a qualified progressive person of color would do a better job than Pelosi. I’m tired of so called progressive white liberalism. Give qualified people of color an opportunity.
