Donna Brazile is generally a smart person and longtime Dem operative and insider. That she is telling us that she was seriously considering replacing the Democratic ticket because Hillary Clinton stumbled after an event due to heat exhaustion tells us just how politically BRAINDEAD she was. This, along with the fact that she broke ethics by offering a debate question ahead of time to the Clinton camp, simply destroys her credibility. Just imagine the total and utter chaos such an ATTEMPTED move to replace the ticket would have created, let along following through on it. And of course Biden and Booker would NEVER have agreed to such a thing. And to think she even CONTEMPLATED such an INSANE idea tells us that she lost her political marbles and perhaps has never found them. I think Brazile is angry with the Clinton people, is giving payback, and wants to make a lot of money for her retirement with this book. The only thing I give her credit for right now is that she has gone on record saying, "No, Clinton did not rig the primary." That is her one redeeming thing right now. Otherwise, her credibility is toast and she needs to be IGNORED.

It's too damn early on a Sunday morning to be slapped with more Hillary hate.

(1,387 posts)She knows exactly what she's doing. And I don't think it's about selling books or anger at Clinton.

(50,236 posts)if it was heat exhaustion or a disabling stroke. Of course that close to the election the first thought would be "what the fuck do we do." What I don't understand is why Donna Brazile released her tell all just before an election day. It seems she's so angry at the party she wants to destroy it.

(1,580 posts)was about Brazile not liking the optics nor the status of the Clinton campaign. To even think about replacing the entire ticket over this was supremely stupid.

Brazile was just power tripping.

(39,345 posts)Mostly she played footsie with her fellow panelists. I'm sure she had principles once, but they took a backseat to personal interest a long time ago.

Seriously, that is was her purpose, to provide a weak D while Rs ran wild with their lunacy.
I had my fill of her a LONG time ago in that regard.

(17,235 posts)Party. DB is going to decide which candidate she is going to run for President; I hardly think she wields that kind of power. I'm sick of listening to her destructive crap; it is time to get serious about putting dynamic Democrats front and center and get ready for the political wars of 2018 and 2020. DB has nothing positive to offer and is a bitter hasbeen.
