1. I kind of feel sorry for her

She lost her cnn job and i don't think she has anything against Clinton.

It came down to her just wanting to sell her book.

[Madam45for2923]

4. I do too! But she should not allow that book to be published as is.

[GeneMcM]

18. well don't She's been in politics far too long for it to have been an accident.

She'd be nobody without the Cinton's. Never would have gotten to run Gore and Kerry's campaign into the ground and become wealthy. She didn't need to sell out the DNC and the Clinton's as she's got millions. And the timing days before the Virginia neck in neck Governorship and to blow the wind out of the Trump Administration Scandal and give Kompromised Orange another Bernie-style "Crooked Hillary" spamming deflection and the ever disgruntled far left ammo for their conspiracy theories.

She knew exactly what she was doing and she can skip Go and proceed straight to hell.

[LuvLoogie]

23. Wow! Welcome to DU!

[GeneMcM]

26. TY. Watchng Kompromised Orange's latest tweets it's clear she was aiding him to go after Sessions

again, someone with DB's experience no way did she not know which documents were signed when and what was in them. There are no coincidences like this.

[SharonAnn]

28. I agree.

[Wwcd]

35. + a million.

Thanks

[trueblue2007]

2. Donna Brazille is making stuff up .... for the money? Only she knows.

[GeneMcM]

19. she doesn't need the money

she's been paid up the gizmo for not only her work in the DNC but 3 or 4 presidential campaigns.She either knows the Party is in shambles and is trying to somehow stay relevant, or she's got something going with the GOP. I never did trust her given her close ties to Matalan.

[onetexan]

3. Warren too

[madaboutharry]

9. I'm very disappointed in Warren.

She doesn't think enough before she speaks.

[Hamlette]

17. agreed

yesterday, a BernieBro on facebook was crowing about how she knew Bernie was screwed over by Hillary and would have beat Trump. I started to type "I want to see the evidence before I decide what happened" but instead I posted nothing. The beauty of the internet is I knew I'd have evidence in a short period of time and best not to jump in. Elizabeth should have too.

[onetexan]

33. well said

Sactimonious accurately described Warren & bernie.

[Hortensis]

40. Actually, Gene McM was very wrong in his characterization

of Warren as like Sanders. Sen. Warren is actual among the most CONSERVATIVE in voting records of all Democratic senators. Sen. Sanders is among the most left, and probably would be shown to be farther left still if there was anything out there he could vote for.

They are very different in basic personality orientation and how that plays out in politics.

This may surprise you. But Warren was a Republican for decades and of course must still be a moderate conservative by personality. Personality is malleable, but it'd take a brain transplant to get rid of that basic orientation. She became a Democrat only when GOP left traditional conservative principles far behind and moved to economic and socioreligious extremism. But she was Republican all through the GOP's move to the strong-to-hard right during the Reagan era.

It's important to remember that "radical" personality and "radical" position (i.e., out of the standard box) are two extremely different things. Pew says it's common, for instance, for both liberal and conservative moderates to hold at least some positions that are not considered mainstream, i.e., "radical."

Warren is like that on economic issues except far stronger and more committed than most.

Sanders tends radical in personality and positions.

Fwiw, the official positions of both aren't actually very radical at all. Most of those they espouse are long established in progressive liberalism and the Democratic Party supported them all at various times (such as the New Deal, Fair Deal, Great Society, Obama's not-deal advances). What makes pushing them seem radical now is merely timing while an extreme right GOP holds the nation in thrall. Most genuinely radical factions definitely believe this and consider Warren and Sanders not much different from typical Democrats.

Ability and integrity, btw, are other places I see huge differences between Warren and Sanders, and I do think that comes from their very different personalities. To the point that I'm surprised when people imagine great similarities between them. That they both supported rescuing a toddler from a raging river would not mean John Kennedy and Kruschev agreed on other issues.

Back to the premise that Warren only appeals to the far left, her talented rhetoric has strong appeal to populists across the spectrum, as well as mainstream Democrats. And in future she'd have absolutely no trouble blasting the notions of anyone who imagined she was some kind of female version of Sanders.

Btw, it's worth remembering that Warren endorsed Hillary for president, not Sanders. There were big reasons for that.

[Wwcd]

36. Thank you for stating the truth

"Never any plan or ability to take it to a national level or to help any other Dem which is something the Clintons did for 30 years.
I can't help but notice since they're gone none of their critics are able to put their sanctimonious know-it-all spouting into anything actionable unless you consider losing elections an attribute."

Donna can now reveal her true purpose by joining Nomiki on Fox.
I expect Donna to be offered a gig with Our Revolution.

The anti-left.

[VOX]

22. Yes. Extremely disappointed.

For a Democrat to publicly pile on another Democrat, ESPECIALLY with what’s going on in the country, and that her target is now a private citizen.

One thing Republicans do better than Democrats— showing discipline, when it comes to defending colleagues (even when there is true malfeasance).

[onetexan]

34. I think there's some Clinton resentment on the part of Warren there

She was hesitant in her support of Hillary during the elections

[VOX]

43. Pretty sure you're correct.

[NCTraveler]

5. If she wants to. I couldnt imagine not wanting to.

This was a big mistake on her part. I believe the price she has paid simply as an individual has already been pretty high. I don’t believe she is without conscience.

[LexVegas]

6. Warren should as well. nt

[comradebillyboy]

8. I agree

[MrsCoffee]

10. Yes.

[NurseJackie]

13. I'll never forgive either of them.

Damage done. Irreparable. Nothing can fix it. Forgiveness impossible.

[SharonAnn]

29. Like Comey's statement(s).

[Squinch]

7. Only if she lights a candle and listens to gospel music first.

[emulatorloo]

14. ...

I can't get that bit of purple prose out of my head either.

[Wwcd]

38. ...but she "won't cry"

Baaaarrrrffff

[Squinch]

39. Yep.

[delisen]

11. Apologize to Amy and Robbie. if it wasnottrue

she has libeled these two people.

[blueinredohio]

12. She should go on all news shows to explain what she really said not what republicans are reportingi

[emulatorloo]

15. What she "really said" has turned out to be a lie.

It may or may not have been intentional, but what she wrote was untrue.

[emulatorloo]

16. No, she should go hide in cave and never show her face again. Publisher should pull her book

and sue her for defrauding them.

[joshcryer]

24. I saw the no vote and checked the usernames, and had a double take.

You're not wrong on that count.

Hopefully the publisher has a nice talk with her in the ensuing days. I would expect they would just edit out the BS and change it to the Russian hacking angle as opposed to dumping it completely. The ghost writers will be working overtime.

[democratisphere]

21. Apologize? Absolutely! DB should then go back into obscurity, where she belongs.

[BainsBane]

25. She now denies saying the primary was rigged

And says that interpretation was Trump’s.

[still_one]

30. Not entirely. Certain media personalities as certain prominent Democrats if they thought it was

"rigged", and they said yes. They were all too willing to pile on without knowing the facts.

Howard Dean said he hoped the allegations were not true, which is fine because he admitted he didn't have the full facts, but others were all to ready to accept the media's and others distortion.

When Comey released the letter to the republicans in Congress 11 days before the election, the media reported that "the email investigation had been reopened". THAT WAS A LIE, and many of those in this fourth estate are still continuing their incomplete and shoddy reported, to garner readership or viewership in place of facts

[emulatorloo]

31. Oh, really?

I am done w Donna Brazile. Empathy yesterday. Totally done today. Never again

[L. Coyote]

27. Donna sure exposed a lot of bad journalists in record time. They all need to apologize too.

And all the damn Hillary haters that jumped on the lie train should be apologizing too.
Sure was nice of Donna to expose them too.

[lunamagica]

32. Yes, she should

[Vinca]

37. Why is Donna being cut a break? Apologize and that's that?

She should be sued and the book removed from the shelves.

[Are_grits_groceries]

41. She should JUST.GO.AWAY!

Do not draw any more attention to it.

[Gothmog]

42. Brazile was wrong
