Related: About this forumWasserman's got to go
Listen to this BS in the link below. You go ahead and put a committee together to figure out why you lost. You can start by reading all the posts on this site as to why we lost. It's quite obvious why we lost. And it starts with her leadership.

When you cant get representatives to support and run off the ideas and accomplishments this DEMOCRATIC president has done, YOU lose. We as a party failed miserably.

Seems that's the only thing that gets anyone kicked to the curb by our Democratic leaders.

(5,060 posts)She should have the good sense to resign the position. If not, she should be shown the door. Maybe if we stop donating to "the Party" until a change is made they will get the message?
Bring Back Howard Dean!

(32,931 posts)I haven't given to the party since 2000. I only give to the candidates I support directly.

(5,069 posts)if she were in this business for the good of the party/country/democracy.......but I have a felling she (and others) are in this business for other reasons.

(5,060 posts)The worst possible selfish thinking. It's sad that the Democratic Party is as bad as those other guys when it comes to egomaniacal power hording. In a world filled with reasonable grown-ups - this level of failure should trigger enough honest self reflection to at least offer a public resignation.

(5,069 posts)they will surround themselves with sycophants and craft studies justifying their policies/strategies.....they will just become more entrenched and weed out the dissenting voices.

(3,544 posts)The GOP had a lot of slam ads too. Some say its bad to do, some say its good to do. Go figure. Well, maybe, just maybe it DID work for them. Our side should have gone after the GOP Congress failures during the past 6 years. Then associate the failures with the GOP candidate and why he/she supports these failed policies. Pretty simple, right? Not a word(or very little). We ran on nothing which equals failed elections across the board. There was no unification of a message, anywhere. Sounds like a leadership issue to me.

(15 posts)When Debbie criticized Scott Walker by saying he shows women the back hand, I was like, "YES! Extreme rhetoric! I love you now!" but then she backtracked the very next day and I just lost all faith in her.
Truth be told, that politico piece about Debbie making the whole party about her and being ambitious wreaked of sexism. It told us all a lot about where the media stood with her, or rather stood against her, so I was on her side. But this midterm showing by the Democrats signals a failure in her leadership abilities. People want to blame Obama but she was the one in charge of elections. He's got a country to run. If anything, Schultz should resign for having such a miserable failure of an election for Democrats. Many of her colleagues were ousted from office already. It's only right that she step down for not guiding them to victory.
