Donna Brazile: learn from the opposition

[link:https://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/archive/video/donna-brazile-hacking-american-election|

One great point she made was that the Republicans keep their "new blood" around between campaigns. They groom the new people, the volunteers, find jobs for them, get them to run for office locally. While the Democrats can't keep their "new blood" around and interested because they abandon them between campaigns.

"I don't want Nancy Pelosi to leave . . . I just want her to move over!"

Thoughts on this?

If that's "success," I'm not sure how much more success we can take.

That's why I posted this in the first place. Just because people are all butt hurt about Donna Brazile (who I agree has done harm to the party) doesn't make everything she said in the the interview automatically trash. Trying to keep an open mind here, and all I've seen so far (except your reply) has been the LW equivalent of Fox & Friends. Don't play into their game, people!

highest ranking members will be taken without the lingering question as to her proven personal agenda

Perhaps she would be more of a uniter for common good if she used her voice in pointing out the threat to our nation in the time of Trump & the Kremlin, & the congressional b.s.ers that brought him where he is & are keeping him in the WH.

Nope. The biggest problem, the biggest threat to DB, is The Dems & Pelosi. Her Personal agenda is showing. Her agenda is obvious.
Another one profitting by biting the hand that fed her.

Those who are set to destroy the party of the people will, of course, applaud DB.

Division is their goal.

Lot of anger out there. I have problems with her too, but it was a damn good interview, and very educational. Did anyone else hear it?
