[hueymahl]

1. Just donated

How she ever got elected is amazing to me. Such an unlikeable person.

[kadaholo]

2. Go Tim!

This woman has been an ineffective leader of the Democratic Party and it is high time that she is replaced!

[840high]

3. .+1

[MisterP]

4. 13 Senators, 69 Reps, 913 state seats--but as long as they have the voters to blame and the checks

keep coming there's no reason to change a thing

[scscholar]

5. That wasn't the topic of the interview!

That question should not have been asked.

[ThePhilosopher04]

9. Of course it was appropriate, and should have been asked.

She's been a candidate for congress going on 13 times now. If she can't handle a simple question like that, she's not fit for office. Of course we knew that already, which is why she has a well-funded primary challenger.

[xocet]

10. You're right! Good journalists should never ask questions which discomfit the interviewee....

n/t

[Delver Rootnose]

30. He should have asked...

..as a follow up 'who are your constiuants the private prision industry, the payday lenders or the alcohol and cigarette makers and sellers or the people'

[LiberalLovinLug]

42. At the very least...

"So that's a No"

[FourScore]

34. Maybe she should have stormed out like Cheryl Mills did with the FBI. n/t

[appalachiablue]

6. Both positions.

[FailureToCommunicate]

13. Nice!

[PatSeg]

44. The DNC should have just

hired a republican to be chair.

[RiverNoord]

45. And your point is?

She's earned her and her family the complete benefit package - guaranteed lifelong 'employment' with one of her choice of major private equity firms, pay not at all dependent upon experience or relevant skills.

That's the whole point of the job of DNC chairman!

[Uncle Joe]

7. The "best of Schultz's ability" is woefully lacking and she is too afraid to answer a simple and

relevant question as to whether DWS will agree to a debate with her Democratic Primary opponent Tim Canova.

The good people of Florida deserve better.

Thanks for the thread, Omaha Steve.

[YOHABLO]

8. What is she, a parrot?

[chwaliszewski]

11. +1

[Pharaoh]

12. kicking for later

[ybbor]

14. Incompetent, vile human

She has done more damage to the Democratic Party than I could have even imagined.

[Pharaoh]

23. just did too!

she is a really vile human being!

[magical thyme]

16. He asks a yes/no question

he gets a word salad essay response.

[Enthusiast]

40. Weasel word salad.

[SwankyXomb]

50. About what you'd expect

from Queen Weasel-Shitz

[Iwillnevergiveup]

17. No doubt

Tim's getting another donation from me right now! Obama chose her, right? What in the hell was he thinking? Oh, never mind.

[Equinox Moon]

18. She displayes dismissive behavior. Tim! use this in TV & Radio ads!

This is her campaign strategy to win.

She is dismissive and avoids Tim at all cost. People understand this kind of rude dismissive behavior and will turn on her, just by learning of it.

We had a local mayor run his re-election campaign the same way. White guy in his 60's, opponent new to politics in his 30's, black male. Incumbent mayor never acknowledged even having an opponent, nor did he campaign. Well, he had people put up signs in their yards. He too never responded to a debate challenge. Complete denial that he had an opponent. So maddening! I was helping the new guy get elected. Unfortunately the rude white guy was re-elected, but only by 132 votes out of thousands who voted.

Anyway, the moral to the story is... the arrogant incumbents pull this kind of crap and it only works if no one hears about it. The incumbents know if they debated their challenger, it brings awareness of who the challenger is. This IS DWS primary campaign strategy to win.

I hope Tim is clever with his campaign and uses all that money well. He can beat her just by people learning of him and what she is doing.

Go Tim!!!

P.S. Thanks for 'listening' to my story.

[silvershadow]

19. K&R nt

[Duval]

20. She has been a disaster for the Democratic Party.

And the Democratic Party has not been democratic this election cycle. It's really a shame and can likely cause members to leave.

[tom_kelly]

21. Her face said it all

"Oh, for Gods sake, why do you expect me to talk about someone who doesn't deserve my time and attention." With her slow eye blinking, cocked head, and smirk. However, her big adam's apple started to become bothered which is a sign of inward fear.

[pacalo]

28. That alone made it worth watching.

[Equinox Moon]

22. This is her campaign strategy to win

This is a planned response and strategy.

[whereisjustice]

24. The corrupt, unresponsive, self serving face of the gutless, souless Democratic Party

What a fucking crime.

[pmorlan1]

25. Ugh

She is so arrogant. I kicked in to his campaign. I could only afford $10 tonight (donated $50 to Bernie tonight) but I've bookmarked this thread to hit it again. She needs to be gone. I hope he wins!

[passiveporcupine]

49. If you donated through act blue, he got your e-mail addy

and will send up updates and requests for more money. I've been getting them daily. I get them from Bernie too, and it helps remind me to kick in what and when I can.

[pmorlan1]

52. Thanks

I don't look at my email very often (I do enough email at work...lol) but good to know that if I need to find him it will be in my email.

[emsimon33]

26. I sent him $ earlier today but not through DU

So I'll contribute through DU. I am sure that DWS has a high-paying, cushy job waiting for her if she loses as reward for her actions as chair of the DNC.

[pacalo]

27. Her stint as Hillary's campaign manager will, hopefully, be her last hurrah.

Maybe Wal-Mart will hire her as a greeter.

[BigBearJohn]

29. Anybody else notice that her speaking manner & facial expressions are very similar to HRC's?

[randr]

31. DINO

and possibly a GOP mole.

[Stellar]

32. I hate that witch with a purple passion!!!

[raindaddy]

33. Washerman Shultz has the idea that she's above debating a challenger and allowing the public

she's supposed to be representing the opportunity to make an informed choice...

She's probably already been promised an appointment in the Hillary Clinton administration...

[FourScore]

35. My, oh my! She is awful! Please, Florida, do us all a favor and throw her out!! n/t

[Silver_Witch]

36. Thank you for the link!

Just donated!

[rladdi]

37. If Debbie is taking funds from the PayDay Loan companies, she deserves to lose the

election. They charge up to 600% in interest on borrowed money. This is a crime, stealing from those that cannot get a bank account.
In Arizona the voters, voted to close down Pay Day load companies and the Republican politicians overruled the voice of the people. They allowed them to reorganize under different names. |They are still charging up to 600% in interest on money borrowed and the Republicans make a haul with the Pay Day Loan companies. There was huge paybacks to the politicians.
So the GOP thumps it nose at the voice of the people and will do anything to increase there bank accounts.

[Enthusiast]

38. Kicked and recommended! I have donated to Tim Canova. I plan to continue.

Thanks, OS!

[bigdarryl]

39. What's the latest. polling in this race

[Enthusiast]

41. Regardless of the outcome of the primary DWS must step down as chairman.

No one continues to hold a position after such dramatic failure.

[zentrum]

43. Thanks for doing such

…. a lousy job during the midterms, Deb.

[OnlinePoker]

46. "...when I run for reelection they know the work that I've been able to do..."

If she's unwilling to commit to a debate about the merits of the "work that I've been able to do", then how does she think she's actually going to put that information out to her constituents? Obviously it will be done in tidy little, non-critical TV and radio ads.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

47. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

That's what I hear when she opens her mouth.

[Thespian2]

48. As a loser, DWS

has certainly fucked over her South Florida constituents with her support of such things as pay-day lenders whose sole purpose is to vacuum money from the poorest people in the country...

But, if Her Royal Highness is coronated, Deb expects a high-level job...or the GREEDY BASTARDS she serves will give her some plum corporate position...either way she remains a LOSER...

Thanks, Obama...

[arcane1]

51. Just donated. Again.

[dynamo99]

53. DWS/DNC

I get phone solicitations from the DNC. Each time, I ask if DWS is still in charge at the DNC, and tell the caller that so long as she is, I'll be giving my money to specific campaigns but not to the DNC.
