66. I don't live in Florida, I cannot vote for or against her. I also am not a member of the DNC committee,

so I cannot vote for or against her in that capacity either.

However, when someone makes a decision that I perceive is right, I will acknowledge that is a good thing.

I have no idea the criteria the DNC committee uses to elect their chairman.

I would even agree with you if DWS voted against the Iran deal, she shouldn't be elected as DNC chair, but whether that would happen or not is beyond our control

However, a better example which is more within our control is whether the next majority/minority leader should be Schumer. That is determined by our senators. even though Reid recommended that choice. There is at least a potential that we can influence that decision through our senators as voters
