How does Donna Brazile's shiving of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton

[LuvLoogie]

affect their ability to help Dems in their upcoming campaigns? I think the Democratic establishment needs to come down hard on D.B.'s perfectly timed hit.

[HopeAgain]

1. the irony in this post is overwhelming.

[LuvLoogie]

4. She will be sued, and she will be forced to retract.

[HopeAgain]

7. By the "Democratic Establishment?"

You mean Hillary Clinton.

[LuvLoogie]

11. The DNC was part of the agreement. Brazile is conflating the-post primary agreement with

the agreement made during the primary. Donna Brazile is also part of the Democratic establishment. She is going to be corrected by her peers, whether it's by Hillary, other Dems politically, or by the DNC.

[HopeAgain]

15. So punishments and lawsuits that drag out the spotlight on this controversy is the way to proceed?

We need to think about the fact that the Democrats have a perception problem. Fairly or not, Hillary is irreparably tarnished and cannot be the face of the party anymore. The word "establishment" sums up that perception, again whether fairly or not. In fact, if the party gets distance from Hillary, Trumps attacks will not be as damaging to the party and make him look even more obsessed and petty.

Maybe this is a chance to put on a new face, less tarnished by the 2016 clusterfuck, and move forward. Lemonade out of lemons, so to speak.

[LuvLoogie]

19. No punishments or lawsuits needed. Donna Brazile need only retract.

As you can see, she is being exposed by many as being wrong in her characterization of the DNC/HFA agreement.

No need to drag it on. The choice is Donna's. But until she retracts, she will continue to have her ass handed to her by Democrats far and wide.

And as to the "perception problem," you can't chicken out because of it.

I ain't looking for Rush Limbaugh's fucking approval of my candidate.

[HopeAgain]

21. Democrats do have a problem

Look at how many elected positions we don't hold right now. I don't understand your reference to chickening out at all... I don't care about past candidate's reputation like I care about winning elections.

[Demsrule86]

24. Yes otherwise her slander of the Democratic Party stands...she needs to be dragged through court and

forced to retract...and perhaps this will discourage others.

[pnwmom]

35. The Rethugs will smear ANY Democratic candidate. We shouldn't be assisting them in attacking Dems,

as Brazile did.

[delisen]

36. trying to run candidates acceptable to GOP x work

We lose if the GOP acceptable candidate loses and we lose if the GOP-acceptable candidate wins.

The way to win is to stop attacking or own candidates and embrace them.

Should I be ashamed of Gore, Kerry, and Clinton? These are exceptional people of huge proven accomplishment and hard work.

Cowering in the face of opponents such as the GOP does not work. Independent voters are not drawn to a party of weakness, or one dumping on its own candidates, or willing to passively accept unfairness.

Get distance from a candidate who won the popular vote and alienate or demoralize her huge block of voters?

As bad a strategy as ignoring the the undeclared Russian war upon Clinton, democrats, and Democracy.

[delisen]

37. Brazile attacked the DNC. Don't yet know

what is in the rest of her book or why these explosive unproven charges against the DNC were put out there in advance-it appears that she is already retracting.

Everyone using the term "rigged" whether Bernie Sanders, Donna Brasile, or Elizabeth Warren needs to define the term and present their facts, not their emotional suppositions.

Observing their modus operandi is like watching a movie where a soldier step out of a foxhole, pull the pin on a grenade, and turn around and through it at his own troops.

20. I think the DNC would have a case.

Not that I think it will happen. It would be a strong message if the DNC even made a small effort.

[HopeAgain]

22. What strong message?

A lawsuit won't win a single vote

[NCTraveler]

23. I didnt say it would.

“I think the Democratic establishment needs to come down hard on D.B.'s perfectly timed hit. ”

[Demsrule86]

25. It will show that what Brazile said was a lie... this rigged bullshit has to be fought.

[Maraya1969]

30. I hope so! I hope she is publicly shunned too. She is a traitor.

[democratisphere]

2. Dems should boycott DB's book.

The redumbliCONs certainly will buy it!

[MrsCoffee]

3. I hope she has to pay someone to haul them away.

[brush]

29. Ridiculously inaccurate. Check your hearing. You think Gore would've entrusted his campaign...

to a borderline illiterate? Your biases might be showing.

She is wrong with this book though.

[FarCenter]

14. Boycott doesn't seem to be working

17. The redumbliCONs are eating this up.

A former so-called Democratic leader is providing the red meat to drumpf and his supporters. This story will go on and on as redumbliCONs keep it alive. The damage done by DB will be substantial, significant and for now insurmountable. DB is a disgrace. DB's book will become the new redumbliCON bible.

[leftofcool]

26. The book has not been released.

This is supposition on Amazon's part. This all changes when the book is released and reviews start coming in.

[Not Ruth]

33. This book is going to get some very entertaining reviews on Amazon

[FarCenter]

38. The rankings are based on Amazon orders. You can order it now. The reviews will be all 5s and 1s.

[Maraya1969]

32. You can write a review on Amazon!!! Especially with the NBC news about the memo now is the time

Let's all go over and write negative reviews. You don't have to buy the book to write a review. We all know what it says

[Maraya1969]

34. It hasn't even been released and there are no reviews.

[Ilsa]

28. Her publisher should pull the damn thing. NT

[AmandaRuth]

5. Well, tRump is tweeting BS, with the usual

name calling, and my Facebook and twitter feeds are full of "corrupt" DNC stuff, so someone's mission was accomplished.

[DinahMoeHum]

6. Forget her, she's a loser. . .

. . .and I don't hang around losers.

[The Genealogist]

8. Well she dumped a turd in the punch bowl

Somebody's got to clean that up.

[grantcart]

18. More like a hand grenade

[bronxiteforever]

10. I dont back Trump supporter Donna Brazile.

She is supposedly a great advocate of LGBT community. Epic fail on that account after this book.

[libtodeath]

12. She is just trying to cover up her own incompetence.

[pfitz59]

13. I have not liked Donna Brazile

since she screwed up Gore's campaign in 2000. Highly over-rated political operator

[leftynyc]

16. I was just about to post the same thing

I've detested her since she screwed up that incredibly winnable election. And now she's burned all her bridges. I don't give a crap what happens to her.

[GeneMcM]

27. I think she's working for GOP. She gave Treason Orange the fodder to rant endlessly and threaten

Sessions again for not 'INVESTIGATING CROOKED HILLARY'

[triron]

31. not to mention the ammunition it gave the Trumpkins.

wtf was she thinking?
