#2 Moderates are challenging this, but it doesn't look good for them.

It's hard for slaves to bolt. They throw away their one key option. Leave and form a new party. If they're real "moderates", their power is being able to present themselves as bi-partisan, further isolating the Pelosi rump as agents of the same old special interests against that of the country. However, don't expect the "moderates" to be able to think out of box.

#3 So Mr. Blue Doggy now the ruling class is calling you irrelevant, mischief-makers, and irritants. Don't take it too hard that's what Nancy's gang thinks of the American electorate as a whole. Besides, it was youse guys that proved the Blue Dog is a mythical creature anyway.

#5 It's all political theater anyway. They're just hoping to manufacture a thread of deniability. Even though nobody is stepping up to challenge her.
