In reply to the discussion: Nevada Democratic Party chair convicted on felony theft charge in 1990s [View all]Cha
(297,154 posts)4. Wow.. this was posted the other day about
Judith Whitmer..
Sanders supporters took over the Nevada Democratic Party. It's not going well.
The state party didnt take Whitmers victory lightly. Shortly before it was sealed, party staff in an apparent act of protest moved hundreds of thousands of dollars from their own coffers to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and later quit their positions. Once Whitmer took her post, the Reid machine circumvented the state party and set up a coordinated campaign out of a local party in the states second-biggest county. Officials insisted it was necessary because Whitmer lacked experience in winning battleground elections.

If she cares about the Party she will step aside quietly and quickly. If not, she's still a grifter.

I doubt she cares about the Democratic Party any more than Trump cares about the Republican Party
