Quiet Effort Underway to Forge Coalition to Defeat Pelosi

Closely guarded talks are taking place seeking a coalition in the 117th Congress to oust Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as speaker of the House. Meetings are being held among House Republicans and 10 Democrats who voted against Pelosi becoming speaker in 2019.

“A serious effort is underway to prevent Pelosi from becoming speaker, backed by the GOP and Democrats who are disturbed by their party’s embrace of extreme rhetoric and policies like ‘defund the police,’” The Epoch Times was told on Dec. 30 by a veteran senior congressional aide who advises multiple members of Congress.

“The odds of success are less than 50-50, but it’s one of the more intriguing leadership challenges to emerge in recent decades,” said the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The aide declined to provide details of who from either party is participating in the negotiations because doing so would likely make it impossible for the talks to continue.

Spokesmen for Pelosi and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) didn’t respond to The Epoch Times’ request for comment.

Pelosi earlier this week told reporters she believes she has the speakership “wrapped up.” The speakership likely will be decided when the 117th Congress officially convenes on Jan. 3, 2021.

Does anyone really believe that Pelosi's replacement won't be even worse?

Probably will not be worse. Pelosi is 80 years old and is verifiably insane. Therefore, she is without any form of compromise and is a loose cannon who could do anything, no matter how crazy.

A younger person may be more extreme, but it is hard to believe that anyone could be more outer-space batshit crazy than Pelosi. At the least, the Republicans will have a 'sane' person to deal with.

Pelosi is so old she knows her days are numbered. Therefore she does not care about herself, her party, and least of all America or the American people. A younger person would have more at stake. And would likely be much more willing to make a deal.

The funny thing is, Pelosi is so mentally obsessed with 'the gavel' that she plans to have it buried with her in her coffin. Taking it away from her would likely be such an ordeal for her she will not be able to cope. Once she is no longer speaker, who knows what will happen to her?

I suffer not in the least in bearing witness to the demise of the 'devil we know'... I will happily celebrate the passing of the wicked witch of the west.

The only way to keep her from the speakers chair again is to drive a wooden stake thru her heart and pin her to the bottom of her coffin.  Even then it is only a 50/50 chance that blood sucking, craggy, old vampire  would not be able to claw her dead self out and up through 6 feet of dirt. 
The bitch is evil.

Apt comparison considering there is a supposed plot to drop the House on her. As a Matter of fact in 2010 John Dennis had a similar idea.
