When should DWS go overboard?

I'm assuming it won't be before DC.

I am a Bernie guy. But, I'm voting Hillary in the general. Because: Fuck Trump. Fuck all Republicans.

More than likely she'll end up as CoS or some other WH appointment, though.

Besides, anybody who thinks the DNC is changing its entire leadership between June and November with so much left to do is out of their goddamned minds...

We've had much worse DNC heads than DWS, and I don't recall DU trying to push them out before November...

Let her resign and claim it is to focus on her re-election. Clinton/Obama shoukd then replace he with someone Bernie recommends. This move alone would go a long way to shoring up Sanders' support for Clinton. DWS is likely headed to a position within Clinton's administration or cabinet so it's not a big deal to jump start things a few months by removing her from her DNC chair. Everybody wins here, even DWS due to her likely promotion by Clinton.

Find her a job raising money or something that doesn't involve pissing off half the party.
