I have said that if Republicans want to keep the House they should run against Nancy Pelosi AND Steny Hoyer now that he is crawling out from under his rock for a last chance to unseat Nutso. From an American’s perspective they are looking at a fatal illness should either one of the two become speaker.
It takes 218 votes to elect a speaker of the house. Here is Hoyer’s claim to the speaker’s job among Democrats:
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said that the individual health insurance mandates included in every health reform bill, which require Americans to have insurance, were “like paying taxes.” He added that Congress has “broad authority” to force Americans to purchase other things as well, so long as it was trying to promote “the general welfare.”
The Congressional Budget Office, however, has stated in the past that a mandate forcing Americans to buy health insurance would be an “unprecedented form of federal action,” and that the “government has never required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States.”

Apparently, Hoyer also thinks he has broad authority to force voters to vote for his choice of Democrat nominees. A little larceny makes it much easier for Hoyer to force his views on the entire country rather than relying on thousands of Democrat voters in each of 435 districts.
A government ethics watchdog Tuesday filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission after audio from a secretly recorded conversation implied the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee tipped the scales in favor of their preferred candidate, and may have violated campaign finance laws in the process.
The secret recording of a conversation between House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer and Levi Tillemann, a Democrat candidate for the 6th Congressional District in Colorado, was made last December. The audio became public after the Intercept published it in April with Tillemann's consent after some names and private information were edited out.
Hoyer makes plain to Tillemann in the recording that some higher-ups in the Democratic party preferred Army veteran and corporate lawyer Jason Crow be the party's nominee in the district.

Finally, Democrats not only steal elections from Republicans all of the time they steal from each other. Hillary Clinton put the screws to Bernie Sanders; so I have to ask how many elections is Hoyer manipulating?
Alas, fair elections for wannabe nominees is good enough for everybody except Steny Hoyer.
