DWS in trouble as far back as 2013

http://www.mediaite.com/online/report-dws-wanted-to-paint-obama-as-anti-woman-and-anti-semitic-if-ousted-as-dnc-chair/

Buried inside a Politico report about Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz‘s (D-FL) future aspirations was an interesting revelation: “When [Wasserman Schultz] sensed Obama was considering replacing her as chair in 2013, she began to line up supporters to suggest the move was both anti-woman and anti-Semitic.”

Wasserman Schultz is reportedly very much at odds with White House staffers, and rarely even speaks with President Barack Obama.


That these emails came out, with the content they had, should be a surprise to no one. She has run the party into the ground. Time to go.

all about. I don't like people that support predatory capitalism and think it goes against the core of the party. I'm sure she will end up the CEO (like most insiders do) of some company drawing in a huge paycheck.

I miss Howard Dean.

He said he didn't have all the facts but that the DNC must be fair to all candidates

Can you imagine if we would have ended up with Gore and Dean in 2000? The world would have ended up a lot different then what it is now imo.

Gee, just like Howard Dean. We would be living in a completely different world if the SCOTUS would have stayed out of it. Al Gore would have kept us out of Iraq and I seriously doubt 9-11 would have occurred.

Also we would have a beefy education and health care system. Instead we had to wait 8 long years for another intellectual to step into office. Those were a hard 8 years.

She's the DNC chair and to me has done a horrible job of gettin Dems elected. Now I know its not all her fault. Gerrymandering plays a bigger role there but I just feel like she's done a horrible job for awhile now.

So we have to get good people to fight him. Imagine if she had actually done that.
