Is HRC committed to the success of the Democratic Party?
Obviously, she wants to win the presidency on the Democratic Party ticket.
Yet she was fine with helping a right-wing group that clearly didn't want the party to prosper on any level other than presidential politics, a group whose mindset(and its perpetuation in the Beltway wing of the party) is the cause of our losses on congressional control in 1994(leaving us in minority status in both houses for most of the time between 1995 and 2006) and again in 2010. And when serving in the minority in the Senate between 2002 and 2006, she totally endorsed the "never fight Bush on anything" strategy that guaranteed we would have no chance of making significant gains anywhere in 2002 and 2004.
And she championed the leadership and tactics of Terry McAuliffe, the least effective DNC, whose only idea was that, after each loss, we should water down our principles 3% more.
Given that record, why would anyone think that, as nominee, HRC will do anything to try to flip the Senate, erode the Tea Party majority in the House, or make any effort at all to encourage the kind of turnout operation that might switch control of state legislatures and give us a chance of beginning to undue all the gerrymandering that has essentially ended democracy in this country?
Especially given the fact that none of her benefactors on Wall Street WANT any of that to happen?
