It was not one sided. Yes, Hillary was the favorite but she was not railing against the ESTABLISHMENT rally after rally after rally. Some Surrogates where even using foul words like democratic who*r* at rallies. It was not one sided..

vitriolic criticism against the Democratic party and "helping" the critic's opponent.

5. Seriously. This is the sausage making. Hell, Bernie's people said this stuff everywhere.

I'm not mad about it. It's the emotional of politics. Now we need to work together and stop the horror show our country will become were Voldemort to be set loose on the country.

7. With her abysmal record as Party Head

and the fact that she is a shill for predatory pay day leaders should have each and every dyed in the wool Democrat up in arms. How she lasted this long is a mystery. Any guesses as to why she is still calling herself a Democrat?

8. I don't understand it

or how she's gotten away with everything she's done. If nothing else, she is not very good at her job. The 2014 mid-term elections were a disaster and her treatment of DNC co-chairs was inexcusable.

10. No one seems to understand how she has maintained her position

This is an issue outside of the Presidential races and Bernie has a right to raise the question. What is going on inside of the DNC is of utmost importance to us all. The case for transparency in government is playing out to be one of the very important issues of this cycle and Democrats have always had the upper hand when the issue is raised. I think it would go a long way to helping Hillary to lose some of the untrustworthy baggage if she were ask for DWS to step down and find a committee head that will work in all states for all Democrat candidates.

11. I was thinking the same thing

that Hillary should ask for her resignation. Not sure how critical we are allowed to be of a DNC chair here, but as a Democrat I've been outspoken about her for a long time. I was undecided during the primaries, so this is not about Bernie. As a Democrat, I want to win back the House and Senate, as well as governorships and state legislatures. I don't think she is qualified for the job or maybe all she cares about is the top of the ticket.

If the voters don't like her, they'l vote her out.
