Imagine if you will, Adam Schiff as Speaker of the House. It could happen as Democrats realize that Pelosi is a drain on their. Yet, they don’t realize that Adam Schiff is basically Nancy Pelosi with a peanut shell between his legs. Democrats love Schiff because of his Russia witch hunt and his continued leaks to CNN and other liberal media organizations. Democrats had to run a candidate in PA-18 that sounded more like a Republican than a Democrat, and said he would vote against Pelosi. That district will be eliminated after restricting anyway, so even if Lamb gets the win, it just shows that liberal policies are still just for coastal elites.

If the Democrats are really stupid enough to replace their leader in the House with Little Adam Schiff, then they are dumber than anyone though. Why not just replace Pelosi with Maxine Waters or Keith Ellison? They are no more liberal than Schiff-hole. Think about this come election day in November.
The big picture: Conor Lamb, 33, won his U.S. House race in Pennsylvania this week after saying he wouldn’t vote for her for leader — a new template for moderates. Pelosi has hung in through the minority, and remains the party’s most consistent fundraiser. As for whether she’ll return as Speaker, she has just said that it’s up to the members. (Her allies note that she has never lost a leadership vote.)

But others have their eye on the gavel, and many members want a younger, newer face. Her No. 2 and longtime rival, House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, 78, covets the job but is three months older than she is.
Pelosi is more likely to be the bridge to a younger generation. A possible successor, who works the caucus behind the scenes, is Rep. Joe Crowley of Queens, N.Y., who turns 56 tomorrow.
Another possible candidate who’s getting buzz: Rep. Adam Schiff, a fellow Californian who has a sky-high profile as the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, investigating Russia’s role in 2016.
