No, she's busy ruining the party. There, I fixed it for you.
Do have any idea how many Democratic seats have been lost under her "leadership"?

to trusted people, and oversee things. DWS unfortunately has to round up money so that she can keep her seat in Congress, among other things.
Any manager that I have ever known who not had enough time is a bad manager. Good managers trust their underlings to get the things done that are asked of them, and not do them themselves.

Canova should record a picture of himself in a mock debate stage with the other side empty. Visually show voters how much Schultz doesn't care.

I'm so glad DWS is being challenged and will more than likely lose. She put all her chips on Hillary.

and has decided to skip debating an opponent who has no chance to beat her in the primary.

That would be my guess. Anyone have any polling information on Tim Canova and DWS for the primary?

I suspect it will be a walk-off win for her.

House member in most districts. Many have tried. Many have failed. I imagine she's popular in her own district.

I couldn't find any polling, though. Maybe someone in her district could weigh in.

So why not? She is up to her neck in the presidential primary and this may affect that.
