Can Clinton be THIS tone deaf?

BREAKING: Hillary Clinton Brings Disgraced DNC Chair Onto Her Campaign
Nathan Wellman | July 24, 2016

Mere hours after Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned as chair of the DNC, Hillary Clinton has already given her a high ranking position in her campaign.

Schultz resigned after Wikileaks released emails that showed her team showed a clear bias for Clinton over Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primaries, with DNC CFO Brad Marshall going so far as to suggest attacking his faith in Bible belt states Kentucky and West Virginia.

In an official statement, Clinton praised Wasserman Schultz without mentioning the email scandal, commending her “hard work and leadership.” Wasserman Schultz’s new job will be to act as honorary chairman of the Clinton campaign’s “50-state” program

[cherokeeprogressive]

1. I'd love to know the circumstances of the quid quo pro that's going on here. nt

[geek tragedy]

19. DWS quits, gets a face-saving title to ease her out.

Not like this is a paying gig.

[Ken Burch]

44. Though she may need one after the primary.

https://timcanova.com/

[cherokeeprogressive]

49. She'll have a job in a Clinton Administration.

Take dat to da bank, as Baretta would say.

[yuiyoshida]

70. yup that's a bet I would take

[1939]

151. Secretary of Health and Human Welfare? NT

[Peachhead22]

143. Even if Sec. Clinton is just being magnanimous

...and giving DWS a soft place to land. The optics of it are horrible. At the absolute least it's a giant middle finger to 45% or so of the party, fodder for conspiracy theories and gift wrapped ammunition for the Trump campaign.

[geek tragedy]

144. No, just the usual grievance mongers doing their thing

Not enough to get DWS fired, apparently they want her head shaved and her banished from public life.

[Peachhead22]

148. No, we just want DWS to quietly go away

No public humiliation necessary. It's some HRC supporters here that seem to be reading too much into the objections of Bernie supporters. Not Bernie supporters being concern trolls. And your dismissing them out of hand is not helping anything.

HRC's campaign's unforced error here is hurting us all. HRC supporters and Bernie supporters alike.

[marions ghost]

169. Agree completely

--what an unnecessary mistake to make.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

102. I seriously can't believe this is happening!

[Demsrule86]

159. It is called loyalty for all her hard work for years.

and most people know this is BS...cooked up by Trump /Putin.

[cherokeeprogressive]

162. Yeah from what I understand, Putin hand wrote all 19,000 of them.

Last edited Mon Jul 25, 2016, 09:17 AM - Edit history (1)

Then, Trump transcribed, formatted them with the headers to make them actually look like emails, and personally delivered them to Assange.

I heard he traveled in the secret compartment of a specially outfitted SR-71 to drop them off.

[Demsrule86]

168. What?

I have seen the emails and honestly, I don't get what the fuss is all about. There were not many to begin with, and I write way worse things sometimes. Also, it has been shown that some are fakes. It almost seems like you are defending Trump...must have misread your post. Have a nice day.

[JI7]

2. "honorary chairman"

[HooptieWagon]

156. Translation:

Clinton Foundation 'consultant'.

[Press Virginia]

3. Nothing like a little slap in the face to the Bernie Supporters

who are being asked to unify for the good of the party

[geek tragedy]

16. Only those fanatically desperate to be offended.

Those taking this as a personal affront need to get a life.

[mcar]

21. This!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

160. Wrong.

I've been advocating for DWS firing for a year. She has been a horrible DNC leader. Just horrible. If Hillary's judgement is so poor that she rewards Debs and hires her to any position, that is like salt on an open wound.

People here have been demanding unity. Fine. But support is earned. Unity is a target that you work for. Why piss it all away by rewarding the one person who has pissed off millions of Bernie supporters?

This accomplishes three things,

A. It guarantees that the whole DNC scandal stays alive
B. It pisses off the people that Hillary had to, HAD TO reach out to
C. It makes people mistrust Hillary's judgment even more.

CNN reports that 68% of Americans do not find her trustworthy. It is bone headed moves like that that reinforce that emotion. Trump now has a 6% lead over Hillary. During the GOP convention, Hillary gave not one interview on cable or boredcast news. In fact, only her tweets seemed to be the sole response. She squandered multiple opportunities during the GOP convention by being in the background, by playing it safe.

During our convention, watch trump be interviewed every single night. Possibly on multiple venues.

Why? Because he offers to do so. He will take away the spotlight night after night. Her careful, plodding campaign will be an abject failure, especially if she plays by her 1990s playbook. She won't get a post convention bounce, but trump will cement a negative image of her.

I am scared to death of a trump presidency. Why is Hillary making it so easy for him to win?

[Press Virginia]

25. Yeaaaaah! That's just the type of thinking that will help unify the party

maybe we throw in names like "cry babies" just for some extra outreach

[stevenleser]

30. I agree. A determination to be offended will not help unify the party. nt

[Press Virginia]

34. yeah, who cares if people decide to sit home in November over this

[stevenleser]

38. I don't. The party is already more unified than it was in 2008. Anyone left doesnt matter. nt

[Press Virginia]

42. That story will change if Bernie supporters sit home and Trump wins

then it will be all their fault for not unifying with the people who, today, say they don't matter

[stevenleser]

45. When you are done with your crystal ball, pass it over, I'd like to win powerball. nt

[Press Virginia]

47. I have no doubts who'll be blamed if we lose

[Curmudgeoness]

71. You are absolutely right.

We should bookmark this for later use.

As a Bernie supporter who is conflicted over the way that the DNC treated Bernie, I think that this is a mistake on Hillary's part. She should distance herself from DWS instead of embracing her, even if it is just for the time being. But she didn't.

The kind of posts that you are responding to are no help in making me feel less angry and ready to help with the Hillary campaign. In fact, saying that people like me "don't matter" is just another slap in the face...and this comes from someone who said that I would for the Democratic candidate in the end. I think that the degrading posts should stop. They are not helping.

[Press Virginia]

117. People are being asked to set aside their principles

and support the candidate who represents the very thing they were voting against in the primaries. That's a big leap for a lot of people. Being called names and ordered to unify behind a candidate or else the world will die isn't helpful...in fact it's an outright attack on their principles.

We'll be told the party is unified no matter what happens this week but will it be true? I doubt it.
If Trump wins, Bernie supporters will be blamed by the same people who are now calling them names, dismissing their feelings and saying they don't matter. They won't take responsibility for their role in the decision for Bernie supporters staying home.

[Nancyswidower]

136. Should we revist your '08 proclamations about Hillary...

and Now..."Anyone left doesn't matter"?
Yet you wrote..and I quote..."That kind of person ought not to be the Democratic nominee."

Is that a path you want to explore?

[stevenleser]

140. Your conduct is your own. What you do won't change what I do or what I write.

Nor will it change the truth. The party is already more unified than it was in 2008.

If that upsets you, that's your problem.

[chwaliszewski]

141. Actually, it's attitudes such as yours that are my problem.

[stevenleser]

142. Good. Next? nt

[Nancyswidower]

149. No way it upsets me ...I disagree it's more unified now than '08

We'll see in November if voters don't take your '08 words to heart.
You may well be a predictor of things to come...8yrs later

[merrily]

35. Neither will gratuitous insults to supporters of Sanders.

[stevenleser]

39. See my #38. If you are still not on board, we're already more unified than in 2008. nt

[merrily]

41. Being on board and being insulted gratuitously are not mutually exclusive.

Also, being "on board" is not a contractual obligation.


My prior post said only that gratuitous insults to Bernie supporters will not help party unity.

Are you actually disputing that statement that is that self evident? If so, why?

[stevenleser]

46. Nor is being on board and being determined to be offended, apparently. The rest is nonsense. nt

[merrily]

48. "Determined to be offended" Poster, please.

[Loki]

65. "Determined to be offended"

Love it

[glennward]

154. THAT!

[choie]

106. It's the Quid pro Quo that

will not help unify the party.

[geek tragedy]

90. If the pacifier fits ... nt

[eqfan592]

99. "Pacifier" my ass

People like you, by willfully ignoring the ramifications of these moves, are literally killing the party. All because "your candidate" won.

[geek tragedy]

100. Oh the drama.

The primary is over, whether you're willing to admit it or not.

[eqfan592]

105. You think this is about the damn primary?

Can you honestly be that short sighted? These are developments that all point to a very serious systematic issue within the party, issues that will only get worse so long as the rank and file refuses to be more worried about where information might have come from rather than the veracity of that information and what it might mean.

[geek tragedy]

110. This is people getting overwrought over the current head of the DNC

getting a symbolic position with the nominee's campaign.

It's silly bullshit.

[eqfan592]

115. No, it's about people being ok with corruption so long as their side wins

And that's the silliest of bullshit, because in the end it's a losing path to take.

[geek tragedy]

120. No one is saying corruption is ok.

That is not happening.

DWS has been ousted. She lost her position.

The failure to indulge the revenge fantasies of dead Enders is not condoning corruption.

[Press Virginia]

132. She just moved her office to do the same job she did during the primary...campaign surrogate

[geek tragedy]

134. The primary is over. The Clinton campaign now runs the DNC. nt

[Press Virginia]

135. The DNC was an arm of Clinton Inc for the last year

so nothing has changed

[geek tragedy]

137. Some people promote that theory.

I don't buy it, but that is the past. Clinton is in charge of the DNC as a formal matter now.

[marions ghost]

170. Yeah but why waste all that "talent"?

You'd think Hillary wouldn't want her anywhere but under the campaign bus.

[Press Virginia]

131. Exactly

[scscholar]

129. But it's not officially over yet, so why shouldn't it be about the primary?

The primary is important.

[Press Virginia]

119. Feel the outreach

[geek tragedy]

121. Those throwing a hissy fit over DWS not being publicly

humiliated in addition to being fired are not reachable.

[Press Virginia]

127. No one asked for public humiliation. How about the decency of waiting until after the convention

to name her to a campaign position?
She goes from resigning after the DNC bias is exposed to a campaign surrogate on the same day....it's a slap in the face

[geek tragedy]

128. People who are determined to see themselves as victims cannot be stopped

from doing so.

Throwing temper tantrums doesn't earn anyone respect.

[Press Virginia]

130. corruption victimizes everyone who doesn't benefit from it

you want unity, you might have to do more than demand people abandon their principles while calling them names if they dont.
Most of use got confirmation of what we suspected long ago, the DNC was biased and working on behalf of their chosen candidate

[BlueCaliDem]

31. K&R! ^^^This!^^^ Spot ON. eom

[DemonGoddess]

108. ^^^This!!!

[MichiganVote]

53. So don't if you feel that strongly about it. Others will carry this election w/o you.

[Press Virginia]

55. And if they don't you've got ready made scapegoats

This is supposed to be the week of outreach and building/solidifying unity of the party. Not mocking and dismissing people who have learned the DNC wasn't as impartial in the process as it held itself out to be. A process where the DNCs impartiality was regularly questioned.

[MichiganVote]

56. Like I said, if you don't like the action-get out of the kitchen.

Others, many others, will pick up the slack. Your choice.

[Press Virginia]

58. Mmmmhmmm

[demwing]

69. How about we just work to change the action?

If you don't like having shitty policies challenged, then don't support shitty policies.

This kitchen belongs to the people.

[MichiganVote]

73. Don't need to be a Democrat to do that. Or political at all for that matter.

If you don't like the Clinton/Kaine ticket, why hang around. There is no challenge on this board. People write messages but they don't affect policies by anyone. Its not as if DU is congress or something. Its only a message board.

[demwing]

74. "Its only a message board"

then its no skin off your back, so why let it bother you?

[MichiganVote]

76. Does it bother me?

I seldom get excited by stuff like this.

[demwing]

80. Does it? You kept defending the point, so yeah - you seemed bothered by the perceived challenge

But then, people can write any old thing on a message board. It's not like it means anything, right?

[MichiganVote]

85. Well my words seem to mean something. At least you give me confidence to go on.

[demwing]

89. Sure, go on

[MichiganVote]

96. Child, I lived the original. I like Tracy Chapman but you got nothing on the real thing.

And at that time, people were fighting for their lives to stay out of Nam', not fussing about an email.

[demwing]

101. If you think the fuss is about email

Then your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a' changin'!

btw - the Tracy Chapman selection was intentional, not incidental. Times continue to change.

[MichiganVote]

124. I am aware of what this is about.

[leftofcool]

84. You can always go vote for Trump

[eqfan592]

111. And that's the very attitude that allows corruption to grow.

It has to be about more than a single election cycle.

[B Calm]

155. Not cool, telling other DUers to vote for Trump is against the new rules!

[glennward]

88. Nothing like being gracious and appreciative of a person who has worked long and hard for

the Democratic Party ... for ALL Democrats. Far as I know it was the staff who were talking among themselves in e-mails... not from DWS.

You don't throw friends under the bus because others want you to. DWS is stepping down that should be enough and whoever Hillary has out there beating the bushes for her campaign is her decision. If only some Bernie supporters would do half as much for the GE win.

And to those who yell and rant about the BIG TENT...you must make room for moderates also. You can't get everything you want...or it's not a big tent...it's just your tent.

[BobbyDrake]

165. Groan. nt

[writes3000]

4. Did you search to see if this news has already been posted here? Psst, it has.

[demwing]

20. Thanks for the kick

[merrily]

51. This is not LBN and certainly not the first time a news event is the subject of more than one OP

Funny how selective people get about such things, isn't it?

[demwing]

61. It is kind of funny

Not like a "big floppy clown shoes" kind of funny, more like a "teen-aged boy's room smell" kind of funny.

[merrily]

68. Tim Gunn

Tim Gunn, who seems to be one of the nicest people in the world, talks to designers of being in the monkey house too long. When you enter, the smell is overwhelming. But, the longer you remain, the less you notice it. I believe his metaphor may have inspired the "You've gone nose blind" ads.

[emulatorloo]

5. She's out, has no power. Time to take "yes" for an answer

rather than latching on to whatever ad-based blog prints to gin up ad rates.

[merrily]

36. It's all over TV, including MSNBC. BTW, DU sells advertising, too.

That's how most news gets out in this country.

[PragmaticLiberal]

6. Basically a meaningless title.

She's done.

[emulatorloo]

15. Odd that folks don't know that 'honorary' = no power, no nothing. DWS is totally done.

Publically humiliated, forced to resign, definitely DONE.

I will say I'm not surprised 'us uncut" is trying to manufacture controversy out of a big nothing burger.

[PragmaticLiberal]

18. Exactly.

[merrily]

40. "Honor" forms a lot of the word "honorary." Besides, I bet she will get money, one way or another.

hon·or·ar·y
ˈänəˌrerē/

[MohRokTah]

7. This was the good and proper thing for Hillary to do.

I commend her for this.

[liberalnarb]

133. Why was it a good and proper thing to do?

[MohRokTah]

145. It is foolish and evil to throw somebody under the bus when they are so loyal as to...

fall on their sword for the good of the party.

DWS did a good and noble thing and she deserves to be rewarded for it.

[SaschaHM]

8. Did you want the box with her head in it gift wrapped?

[The empressof all]

67. Why yes....Yes I think I did

If not that then at least certainly not publically recognized and rewarded for her "work" by our candidate. Once again Hillary proves to be tone deaf....

[SaschaHM]

72. I keep seeing "work" being thrown around as if folks have some proof...

that there was ever any follow through on those 2-3 emails. Do you have some late breaking news? The Clinton campaign has responded to Sanders' diehards enough and if they can't take yes for an answer or feel perpetually victimized, that's on them. If you want to say she's tone deaf fine, but I'd rather her be the tone deaf nominee than someone who will never be a major party nominee in either of our lifetimes now that his one best chance is up.

[onecaliberal]

92. Her work has lost us more seats than in decades past.

[SaschaHM]

94. Let's not be thick. That's not how elections work.

There are many reasons that candidates lose elections, but one of the smallest among them is who is heading the DNC at the time.

[Shandris]

9. So in other words, exactly what she's been doing.

It's always nice to see them write very large what they actually think of you.

I'd be more concerned about the fact that everyone is done hiding how completely broken and dysfunctional our """"""""""democracy"""""""""" is, and has no difficulty in having a chuckle about it.

That's the kind of behavior of two people: those who are truly insane, and those who know that there is nothing to be done about it, either now or in the future.

I wonder why that would be.

[geek tragedy]

13. Helping the Democratic nominee is evil? nt

[Shandris]

33. Reading not a strong point, huh.

Might want to at LEAST try to strawman with words I actually used instead of just making it up from whole cloth.

As for your line of spin (and there is no other word for it; don't bother 'correcting' my 'record'), you strike me as someone who enjoys good desserts. Like, say, Jell-O pudding. As such, I can ONLY find it appropriate to offer you a Coke and a smile.

[Yurovsky]

157. You are free to do as you are told...

I know I feel better knowing I don't have to make any more decisions regarding electoral politics. Just slide that bowl under the little flap and I'll gladly lap up whatever my betters feel I deserve.

[sufrommich]

10. Oh FFS. Give it a fucking rest already. nt

[NurseJackie]

163. This is an excuse to continue venting over the primary loss. I'm hopeful that it will end soon ....

... but I have my doubts. There appear to be a small subset of immature hold-outs that cannot accept reality and who refuse to follow Bernie's lead. That makes me wonder if they were sincere Bernie supporters all along. Or ... is this subset just a group of your everyday run-of-the-mill Hillary-Haters who saw a convenient way to trash Hillary by "supporting" Bernie?

It's difficult to know for certain which is the most accurate statement, but it's pretty likely that one of them comes very close to hitting the mark and describing the motivation.

[geek tragedy]

11. People whining about her helping Clinton in the general

really need to get themselves a life.

[hrmjustin]

12. Get over it! It is an honorary position with no power.

You got what you want in her resignation so just let her have these scraps.

[global1]

14. Rewarded For Her Loyalty And A Job Well Done....

we knew that this was going to happen and that Hillary would bring her in - but the timing was just inappropriate. She should have at least waited until the convention was over.

[rjj621]

24. This +1

[emulatorloo]

29. 'honorary chair' has as much value as an 'honorary degree' In otherwords worth NOTHING

ya'll can get all hyped up by 'us uncut' potstirring over this meaningless worthless title, or you can recognize that DWS was publically humiliated and forced to resign. That's what we wanted, and that's what we got.

[NorthCarolina]

17. Payback? -nt-

[oasis]

63. Recognition for many years of dedicated service to the Democratic Party.

Many in the party still appreciate hard work and devotion.

[Scuba]

22. Feels like "Dear left-wing of the Democratic Party, fuck off, we don't need or want you."

[demwing]

37. Exactly - A big "PSYCH!" to the left

1. DWS resigns, but will still speak at the convention.
2. Then NO, DWS will not speak at, open or close the Convention.
3. Lefties rejoice! Yay! SHE'S GONE!
4. PSYCH! DWS now works for the campaign.

[marions ghost]

171. Right

Anyone who thinks that working for the Clinton campaign is some honorary booby prize is naive. Obviously they need her too much.

And the affront to the progressive wing? Doesn't matter. You do what you have to do.

[JCanete]

23. I think we can all agree she earned that title. nt

[apcalc]

26. Give it a rest already. Probably a trade off to get her to step down.

Allows her to save a bit of face, and she is still outta there.
Seems like win-win to me.

[helpisontheway]

27. I think President Obama and Hillary made the wrong decision

She needs to force DWS to leave immediately. If she got on a plane tonight, the media would drop it. Now she wants to parade on the stage for some unknown reason. Then I think Hillary is trying to stand by her simply because she helped her in 2008. Forget that...this convention could set the tone for the rest of the campaign. If people are focusing on this drama instead of our convention, that lunatic could win this election. DWS should stop being selfish and now out NOW.

[Peachhead22]

28. Certainly not the greatest look

eom

[book_worm]

32. So what? this is a non-issue.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

62. Er, no.

If you believe that, might I interest you in a casino in New Jersey?

This will be the story over the next few days . . . Unless she quits now, not after the convention.

Hillary rewarding her only reinforces the worst beliefs that folks have about Hillary.

Look, I will vote Hillary, even tho I was a YUGE Bernie supporter. But the optics on this won't quit, not when she is appointed the honorary national chair for Hillary.

[Tatiana]

50. Clinton is loyal.

This is where DWS rightfully belongs. It was not as DNC chair.

However, this is not a smart move for the national campaign. They probably want to allow DWS to save face due to her contested primary back in Florida.

[oxymoron]

95. Except to her base. nt

[guillaumeb]

52. Good to see the 50 state strategy/program is back.

Let us hope that Wasserman Schultz does a good job.

[stlsaxman]

60. It was DWS who abandoned the 50 State Strategy,

and lost us the house and senate.

yeah "let us hope...", indeed.

[demwing]

64. Exactly - some strategy there, Hillary

unless the revised 50 State strategy is designed to elect Blue Dogs - only then is DWS a good fit

[annavictorious]

112. It was Obama who abandoned the 50 state strategy, and it happened

under Kaine, not DWS. Rahm Emmanual preferred a more traditional approach.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

164. If we lose Rahm as mayor, I'd be willing to have him return.

Oh, wait. No. That would be suicide for the party.

[guillaumeb]

66. Hope and vote.

But I do not blame Wasserman Schultz for Democrats who run such uninspiring campaigns that the voters do not turn out.

[qazplm]

54. I've never seen a group get victory after victory

and STILL want more, whine, and not take a win for an answer.

YOU WON. REPEATEDLY. Declare victory and give it a rest.

[BlueMTexpat]

150. + a million!

I am now trashing such OPs.

[JCMach1]

57. Even forget the Primary Shitstorm, she has been one of the worst disasters as DNC Chair we have ever

had.

Talk about failing your way to the top.

Well, at least she will have plenty of time to work for the campaign when she looses her Primary.

[Ilsa]

75. So, she isn't running for her congressional seat? NT

[Hoyt]

77. DWS will fade away quickly at national level. No reason to kick her any more.

[renie408]

78. Why is this a terrible thing?And how is it corrupt?

DWS has always been a staunch Hillary supporter. She wrote some snotty emails and that is supposed to override years of support? To appease people who are determined to NOT be appeased, no matter what?

At least be honest, for many of you it wouldn't matter if DWS left tonight, you are never going to support Hillary.

[demwing]

83. Actually, the first round of DWS resignation news was encouraging

I thought that Hillary was sending a message to the left.

Then this bit broke, and I realized Hillary was sending a message: "Business as Usual"

[riderinthestorm]

79. Ah well then, now she doesn't have to pretend neutrality anymore nt

[Loki Liesmith]

81. A foolish post

She offered her the honorary position as an inducement to resign

[greiner3]

82. How far away is your crystal ball able to read?

[NCTraveler]

87. usuncut is one of the worst sources of this cycle.

Truly a horrid outfit. Antoine outraged by this simply wakes up outraged. The transparency is nice. usuncut is a step down from hagoodman.com.

[Don Draper]

91. What is Hillary thinking??

This is highly divisive and will fly with Berniecrats like a led ballon. At a time when she should be doing everything she can to unite the party, it's baffling that she would do something so inflammable. Talk about pouring salt on a wound. This is counterproductive going into the GE

[dflprincess]

98. In her statement (at the link in the op) Clinton said

"There’s simply no one better at taking the fight to the Republicans than Debbie–which is why I am glad that she has agreed to serve as honorary chair of my campaign’s 50-state program to gain ground and elect Democrats in every part of the country, and will continue to serve as a surrogate for my campaign nationally, in Florida, and in other key states."

Yet we're supposed to believe that there was no collusion between the DNC and the Clinton campaign because there was nothing inappropriate about the chair of the DNC acting as a surrogate.

[demwing]

104. Hillary doesn't lie

so she must have spoken the truth

[aikoaiko]

93. No surprise at all.

[inwiththenew]

97. Is that rain I'm feeling right now?

[RandySF]

103. I swear to God I'm going to jam a pair of scissors into my ears

I can't comprehend the level of stupid that's going into these fights. It's a face-saving honorary position in which DWS will be doing absolutely nothing. Either people are incredibly ignorant or they are just trying to pick fights.

[DemonGoddess]

114. ^^^This!!!

[LuvLoogie]

116. Debbie must be made to walk naked through the streets to be pelted with garbage and insults,

a gauntlet of shame where she is flogged with their superiority. A true mob.

[LowerManhattanite]

125. THIS to the thousandth power...

She's out of a power position as the dead-enders wanted—but got a superficial, face-saving, honorary hook-up from a friend.

But no! Her ringleted head must bounce on a pike...and even THAT'S not enough for the vengeful.

And that's what the furor is about here—vengeance.

107. This fucking sucks. Makes me even sicker that I'll be

Voting for Hillary to keep Trump from winning.

[DawgHouse]

109. She's not tone deaf. Way to support our nominee, by the way.

[eqfan592]

113. That's right, blind obedience is the only viable option...

...and attempting to oppose blatant corruption means we must be supporting the opposition, right?

[DawgHouse]

122. Did I say you were supporting the opposition?

[Grey Lemercier]

118. What would you have Sec Clinton do to Wasserman Schultz? Whip her with a cat o' nine tails on PPV?

I am appalled at the treatment and abuse that a fellow progressive Democratic woman is being treated to all around, including from many on here. I sense more than a small whiff of misogyny too. She already resigned as demanded by the Bernie people. It is over, it is done, just please stop.

W need to unite against the monster that is Trump. He is an imminent threat, and somehow has managed to actually unite Russia and Nazis into one cause. Think about that for a second, instead of this sandbox brawl over a bloody HONOURARY title.

123. How about HRC not praise DWS for a job from which she was forced to resign?

or at the very least don't reward her for it

[Rex]

138. Completely different job then DNC head, I am all for this.

That kind of loyalty is hard to come by. They will work great together.

[demwing]

146. So loyalty trumps integrity?

you might be fine with that, but reasonable people may disagree

[Rex]

147. She quit as DNC head, so yeah that is fine with me.

Maybe she should have done that last year.

[Peachhead22]

139. One step forward and two steps back

[liberal N proud]

152. Good

[B Calm]

153. I was a little surprised she didn't pick her for VP. This election is going to be close

and it's for Hillary's to lose. If this is Hillary's idea of uniting the Democratic party, we're screwed!

[giftedgirl77]

158. Lol, tone deaf to who?

When your only source is a pro Sanders rag that didn't most one factual item the entire primary season maybe the only tone deaf individuals are the ones publishing this shit & the ones who believe it's reliable or news worthy.

[B Calm]

161. Party unity.

[giftedgirl77]

167. Lol, calling out a biased ass source as bullshit is going to effect party unity?

😂😂😂👍

[Orsino]

166. That's why they call it the Establishment.

DWS is in no danger of homelessness.

[jack_krass]

172. Please tell me this is some kind of sick joke

[fun n serious]

173. I never thought she deserved all the hatred she has received
