Will Debbie W-Schultz be gone before the election?

There seems to be a group of Dem senators wanting her out as a sign of reconciliation with the Bernie supporters. Bill Moyers referred to this so feel free to find the link yourselves. But as a Sanders supporter, the damage she's done is too late to try to patch things up. This, to me, is a bogus gesture. Please do throw her out. But the damage is beyond control.

And THAT is my opinion. If you disagree, tell someone who gives a shit!

Now the she's served her purpose, there is no need for the Clinton camp to keep her around. It sounds like few people inside the Clinton or White House have warm feelings towards her.

Now is the perfect time to serve her up as a gesture, since she likely wouldn't be staying on past the election anyway.

3. Why do you start with a question...

And end with "if you disagree, tell someone who gives a shit"?

To answer your question, she will be gone after the GE and you will dislike the DNC as much as you do now. You have already determined that.

But hey... You don't give a shit and what do I know anyway.

9. That wouldn't remove her as DNC chair

A party chair doesn't have to be an elected representative. It would certainly be embarrassing, but she could still remain as DNC Chair. As far as I know, the only person who could force her out is President Obama.

She can get shoved out to pasture somewhere else.

Florida's 23rd is over a third Hispanic, and trends older rather than millennial.

He might as well toss that 500k into the Atlantic.

14. Says "reality" and the demographics of DWS's district

This is a local race; most voters in the 23rd don't give two shits for the national caterwauling, they care about which candidate will best serve them and their local interests. Is that DWS, the proven and capable veteran, or the never-elected-to-any-office professor with a bit of a plagiarism problem?
