Who will be the face in the House in 2023 for the dems?

AOC will probably be their minority leader. McCarthy will be the Speaker.

I heard that the speaker does not need to be chosen from elected congressmen or women. They could elect someone outside the House to be third in line to the presidency. Trump?

And the face of the Democrat minority could be… Mickey Mouse.

LOL, that’d be the ultimate troll move by GOP.

But - no guarantee they’ll win back the House, and even if they did there are a few anti-Trumpers amongst GOP. If he’s even willing to do that.

Here we go again. We going to keep talking Orange Man for the next 20 years?

Why would you think she will leave office?

She’s going to lose the gavel.

Next.

She’s going to retire.

It’s a given with the circumstances in place.

Every dog has their day.

She had her time in the spotlight.

Time to hand it off to the younger generation.

In her case, that’s just about everybody.

Can AOC fill the bill?

AOC will probably be their minority leader. McCarthy will be the Speaker.

We like to joke about her (she makes it so darned easy,) but there is no way the Democrats will move her up the leaderboard.

Good lord is that a serious prediction.

AOC as minority leader in 2023

You wouldn’t care to make a pizza bet on that.

Even @Smyrna would NOT make that bet.

I am talking about the 40s and 50s set of the house leadership.

All three on the OP fit that bill.

The moderate part died in 2016 in all of them and in some of the R long timers and Romney.

The problem is no one is allowed to be a moderate anymore. If you are a Republican and don’t toe Trump’s line, you’re a RINO. If you are a Democrat and you don’t toe the Progressive line, they label you a Con.

Bosun · 2022-01-13T15:54:06.517Z

They are not the brightest lightbulb in the house.

Bosun · 2022-01-13T15:58:14.003Z

I beg to differ. If one does not particularly like Trump and is a true republican he or she can have that opinion. There are some RINOs around. Not many but a few.

I prefer DeSantis over Trump and am not a RINO. PAmoderate, some day you may figure it out.

You are entitled to be wrong. First off, DeSantis does toe Trump’s line. Second, all you have to do is look at the voting records of some of the people Trump has labeled a RINO and see it has nothing to do with policies and everything to do with kissing up to Trump. You can start with Mike Rounds voting record. I would love to know how that is not Conservative.

I think most of the dem pols now are woke libs. Not many moderates left in the house imo.

Who are you to deem me wrong. That is bull ■■■■■ I am sorry to say. I did not intend to get into this discussion with you. Telling me I am wrong, what kind of condesending ■■■■ is that.

We both can agree to disagree. Let’s leave it at that and be open to discussion.

Oh please! You say this "I prefer DeSantis over Trump and am not a RINO. PAmoderate, some day you may figure it out" and then have the nerve to call me condescending?
