Debbie Wasserman Schultz will not be DNC Chair

[MineralMan]

following the election. She's had her run in that position, and will abandon that thankless job all on her own. Why on earth would she want it after 2016. Hillary Clinton will recommend someone for that position after her election in November. It is the prerogative of the elected Democratic President, as leader of the party, to choose who runs the DNC.

DWS will continue in Congress, or may be appointed to some other position by President Clinton. So, everyone can stop worrying about her as the DNC Chair. She won't be doing that job after the November election, by her own choice.

[Kilgore]

1. Any thoughts on who will be her replacement if........

the repubs win the White House?

No matter what, she will be gone. Can't imagine her staying based on her horrible job so far.

[MineralMan]

2. I have no idea, either way.

It's not my call, nor do I have any influence at that level. We'll find out after the election sometime.

[Kilgore]

8. This was our breakfast coffee topic this morning.

It's a bit of a head scratcher.

[virtualobserver]

3. I'm more focused on getting Canova elected in her place.

Thanks for clarifying what we should be worried about, though.

[MineralMan]

7. Well, good luck with that.

Seen any polls from that district? I can't find any. I did see the election results for the past couple of elections in her district, though. Tough to beat. So good luck to Canova.

[virtualobserver]

10. well, we know that payday lenders will be working for her....

good luck to the people of America.

[Dem2]

18. Can you imagine party leaders working against their own Chair?

That would be ridiculously insane, so your point isn't well taken.

[Autumn]

44. I can'tsee it. But I can see that the dem party leaders work against the people. nt

[CrowCityDem]

4. She's already served as long as most do. I'm sure turnover now would be natural.

[cherokeeprogressive]

5. Correct.

6. Golly, what would we do without your Minsplaining?

Payday Debbie isn't only corrupt and a poor excuse for a democrat, she has been a poor DNC chair. And in this weird election year, she may lose her primary. Odds are against it, but this is a tough year to predict.

That you and many hillarians have no problem with her corruption, lies and ineptitude, is quite remarkable.

your prediction that Hillary will win against trump is premature.

Btw, what is it with you posting condescending stuff that everyone already knows. I've followed your posts since long before you started posting here and your tone hasn't changed from when you were a frequent poster at another site where the politics are very, very different from DU.

And the job itself is not necessarily thankless.

[MineralMan]

12. Golly, I don't know...

But, you can count on me to keep posting, just like we can count on you. It's DU, after all.

[joshcryer]

14. People who defend DWS are doing so because Sanders fans bash her.

Thus drawing stupid tribal lines. It's like how people defended the NGP-VAN guy, out the scumbag who worked at Demos but got fired for harassing a person on Twitter.

This isn't hard.

[cali]

21. You're probably correct.

[cali]

24. Jury results on my post:

[asuhornets]

30. Your post is the one that's condescending..

Debbie Wasserman-Shultz gave Sanders more debates--he lost them all--not her fault.

And yes Hillary will win against Trump, just like she is winning against Sanders.

[joshcryer]

9. She won't be appointed anywhere consequential.

[MineralMan]

13. I tend to agree, frankly.

Of course, being a member of Congress isn't a shabby job, after all. I suspect she'll still be that, despite the primary challenge in her district. We'll see, though.

[cali]

41. ......

I tend to question your politics.

[bigwillq]

11. I hope she won't be.

DWS is terrible, imo.

[Rex]

15. lulz

[Demsrule86]

16. It is a terrible job!

I can't imagine why anyone would want this job.

[MineralMan]

19. It is. I can't imagine anyone holding it for long.

Too much work and too much hate attached to it. The nasty crap that has been dumped on her during this primary race has been amazing. I'm sure she's looking forward to putting the job behind her. I would be.

[cali]

23. Howard liked it. He was good at it.

[MineralMan]

33. He did. He was. He endorsed Hillary Clinton in December, too.

[cali]

37. No shit . But of course I'm such an ignorant Vermonter that I didn't know that.

I have no problem with him endorsing her, Min. I've said that repeatedly. Just as my regard for Pat Leahy- he's actually another prominent Vermont politician- isn't altered by his endorsement of her.

You stated that you didn't know why anyone would want that "thankless" job. I responded to that.

[MineralMan]

38. I'm afraid I don't pay close attention to what you might

or might not know, nor am I ever writing just to you on DU. I've never considered you an "ignorant Vermonter." As far as I am aware, you're pretty politically knowledgeable, although I don't read all of your posts. I'm certain I have never referred to you in any such way, actually. That's not my style at all.

[cali]

39. How about not assuming that no one but you is informed?

As I said before, your tone hasn't changed from before you started posting here.

[MineralMan]

40. My tone is my writing style.

I assume nothing. I do not assume that people know things, because I do not know them. That includes you, of course.

As I said, I'm never writing just for one person. Never. If I write something of which you are already aware, that causes you no harm at all, but might inform one of the many other readers of he thread.

You may be the most informed person on this planet. I have no idea. Because I do not, I write as I please and include whatever information I think pertinent. That style is unlikely to change. If you do not wish to read what I post, you have a simple option you can take, though.

Clearly, I will keep posting here, both in thread starting posts and in replies. I'm sure you understand that. Now, you're more prolific than I am, in terms of original posts, and by a large margin. I don't read them all, of course, but I see them in the thread list. I'm rather in awe of your output, really.

[Demsrule86]

25. She did nothing wrong.

Sanders supporters expected her to make it easy on their idol...and instead she made all candidates follow the rules.

[Kall]

29. Uh, no.

Never mind things like debate scheduling, the "neutral" head of the DNC going on live television and perpetuating a lie about Sanders' people violently throwing chairs is wrong. For all these unseen thrown chairs, amazingly there were no pictures, video, injuries or arrests with a room full of officers. Spin away.

[MineralMan]

31. Agreed.

[Jim Lane]

48. Didn't she lie about DNC process?

My vague recollection is that, upon being criticized for the blatantly pro-Hillary debate rules, she falsely asserted that the rules had been set by the DNC or by a smaller inner body (perhaps one including all the Vice Chairs), whereas in fact she had set the schedule unilaterally.

Regardless of the process or her honesty about it, your post makes it sound as if she just came along, found some rules in place, and fairly and impartially enforced them. That's obviously not the case. The sharp curtailment in the number of debates and the pro-Clinton timing of the ones that did occur were decisions made in this cycle and which clearly favored Clinton.

[lumberjack_jeff]

17. She will have outlived her usefulness after July.

Getting the nomination for Hillary was the endgame.

[MineralMan]

20. Exactly. I'm sure she'll bail right after the convention.

I would, I know.

[book_worm]

22. I agree DWS will not be in her position--I think that HRC may replace her after nomination

Possibly by somebody who was a BS supporter during the primaries--it would be a smart move and one that might help bring people together.

[floriduck]

26. I'll just be happy when Tim Canova sends her packing. Hopefully, Hill will have a flunky job for her

[MineralMan]

34. Have any polling that shows Canova in the lead?

I haven't seen any. How did DWS do in her last election?

[floriduck]

42. Polling is meaningless with the election this far out. You know that!

[MineralMan]

45. I'm talking about a Florida primary for a House seat.

That's not far away at all. DWS is being challenged in that primary by another Democrat, Tim Canova. The winner of that primary will be on the ballot as the Democratic nominee.

Please try to follow the thread. This thread is not about Hillary. It is about a primary election for one House seat.

[floriduck]

47. I was never referring to Hillary. Try to follow my posts!

[MineralMan]

46. The Florida congressional primaries take place

On August 30. Not so far away. No polling yet? Odd, except that the outcome is probably not really in question. DWS has done very well in her district, with a 62% majority win in 2014.

[TSIAS]

43. I doubt there's any polling

And if there was, considering the gap in name recognition, I'd presume DWS to be ahead.

Hillary won the district by something around 68-31. If it's a referendum on the candidates, DWS will probably win easily. But in a low turnout primary, if the Bernie supporters are energized, he could pull an upset.

[DesMoinesDem]

27. Hillary will never be president.

[MineralMan]

35. I see. Well, that's it then...

Uff da!

[AgingAmerican]

28. Too late

Damsge done

[Katashi_itto]

32. She is headed for the Hillary Cabinet

[MineralMan]

36. Perhaps. Perhaps not.

I have no idea, reallly. She may simply be in Congress, instead. That's a pretty good job, I understand, too.

[Sheepshank]

49. I remember reading shortly before the NV debaucle

That DWS had announced her departure from chair of DNC.
