There are plenty of veteran lawmakers that are a better fit for the current times. My choice would be Barbara Lee, can't tell me she doesn't have the experience to guide the incoming freshman, while still pursuing a progressive agenda for the House.

Preemptive attacks on the president can bolster his popularity and empower his base. Trump would love to have the Bill Clinton treatment and come out as a martyr who was the victim of a baseless, partisan impeachment. 

 I'm not suggesting that anyone one specific person would allow this, but whoever the choice is needs to show restraint and get to work. In fighting, talks of impeachment prior to the Mueller investigation being over, and lacking a cohesive message moving forward will cause that. Pelosi has the experience to do this. We need people who can get things done rather than pushing for things that won't even get a vote in the Senate. 

If there's someone else with those qualities, I'd entertain them, but I haven't seen anyone throw their hat in the ring that would be a better choice.
