In reply to the discussion: Inside Hillary Clintons Secret Takeover of the DNC (By DONNA BRAZILE November 02, 2017) [View all]onetexan
(13,913 posts)A couple points to consider:
1- Hillary bailed DNC out. Thankless job. Donna (arg, much as a i love this woman) trying to throw Hillary under the bus here is just ridiculous.
2- Whatever Obama did to put DNC in the hole, he could have campaigned more for it given it was so hellbent on electing him (not that i don't like O, but during time leading up to the 2008 elections the DNC was clearly slanted toward O, not Hillary).
Furthermore, yes obviously Debbie W-S could have done better as a manager of the committee, but the board should have done their job to demand transparency. They didn't bother and let her do whatever the heck she wanted. The result was that they were in the red and she unchecked.
3- Debbie W-S should have NEVER allowed a socialist independent to run under the Dem ticket. This man usurped the Democratic base for his own selfish purposes, then dissed it after the elections and declared himself not a Democrat. Hypocritical and disgraceful!
4- Donna should have never promised Bernie anything before taking a look at the books. Her own doing here.
