Did they even for one second realize that publicly rejecting the shoo-in for Speaker of the House could never go well for them?

she understood that they promised not to vote for her to get elected.

Which only happened because the rw spent $$$$Millions and Years on their tv Hate Campaign Against Nancy and it sunk into the brains of their constituents.

And, the reason the gop did That was Because Nancy is so Bloody Effective!

McAdams said in his campaign ads he was not going to vote for Pelosi, I'm sure there were others. Once Nancy had the votes she needed, she probably gave them permission to vote for someone else.

So who's voting out of school?
