Clinton expresses her loyalty to DWS but has no reason to give her any more of a substantive role than appearances require.

I'll say this though, Hillary is loyal... Most politicians would have just tossed her under the bus.

And that's the nice, respectful, pro-party thing I can think of.

"Honorary chair" - it's a position with a fancy sounding title, engineered to keep her away from sharp objects.

Practically speaking, she has no power. She's been shitcanned, and this "honorary chair" is just a face-saver.

Realistically, the job description consists of making speeches at the few places left where she won't be booed.
