Moulton seeks nonegotiations with Pelosi
By 
Nonegotiation. When you try to get the other party to make a deal because you’re the only one who doesn’t know that you have absolutely nothing to offer.
A high-profile critic of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi signaled on Monday that he is seeking to hold negotiations with her about changes to her leadership team, a development that makes her ascendancy to the speakership likelier as her opponents continue to struggle to recruit a challenger.
The decision by Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) to shift his attention from Pelosi — by far the front-runner for the speakership and currently running unopposed — to potential discussions over the lower-ranking positions of House majority leader and House majority whip underscored Pelosi’s strength and the desire of her critics to reshuffle the leadership even if she holds the gavel.
Close. It underscores Pelosi’s strength and the fact that the #5WhiteGuys are so far out of their depth that the fish have lights on their noses. I’m not sure what the other four are up to, but if Moulton continues to sink he’s going to annoy BLUE HADES.
Pelosi, however, has given no indication that she is open to talks with Moulton about a deal for the support of moderate critics or that she would ever waver in her support for her longtime deputies, Reps. Steny H. Hoyer (Md.) and James E. Clyburn (S.C.), who are in line to hold the No. 2 and No. 3 posts in the House next year.
A very busy person doesn’t seem to be interested in watching Moulton unload another clip into his big floppy red shoes? Quelle surprise.
“Leader Pelosi wants to boil this down to a personal argument, but this is so much bigger than her,” Moulton said in a statement to The Washington Post. “It’s about the entire, stagnant three-person leadership team and having a serious conversation about promoting leaders who reflect the future of our caucus.”
A person capable of having a serious conversation about leaders who reflect the future of the party isn’t interested in a change in leadership, so Moulton will continue to shout Pelosi! Hellnosi! while hopping around on his one remaining leg.
Seriously. Who is this guy, and why is he so very bad at whatever it is he thinks he’s trying to do?
House Democratic aides involved with the moderate group added that Moulton and others close to him are also willing to negotiate with her on another front: the length of her speakership.
“If she can publicly guarantee that she’ll only be there for one year as a transitional figure, and that there will be elections for the leadership next fall, some people are more than willing to talk through that at this point,” one House Democratic adviser said.
And if she doesn’t, they’ll try to bleed on her and threaten to bite her legs off.
