Although I never agreed that she should be replaced, I did have a few criticisms of her. No more. Nope, I'm not going to criticize when that gives ammunition to the enemy and causes division among Democrats. I'm not going to criticize any more when no one has put forth an alternative. Pelosi works. Sure, I can dislike some of what she says, but if criticism is going to lead to infighting and possibly a much worse minority leader, then I will keep my mouth shut. I'm sorry that I ever jumped on the negativity bandwagon because it is counter productive and exactly what the right wing wants.

That is a good lesson for us going forward. They are hoping for another Great Divide, like the Clinton - Sanders schism. We cannot give it to them.

The next vote for minority/speaker will be at the beginning of the next congress. That is the time to determine the position, not now.
