(15,423 posts)Good point. I did not see her statements on CNN, but I have read the excerpts from Brazile's book, of course. I have my own feelings about that and the negative ones involve mostly Wasserman-Schultz, who was just not a good fit for the DNC.
My feeling is there wasn't anything criminal - let's simply fix the situation so it never happens again and move on. Sure Obama made mistakes in paying back the DNC too slowly. But he's making up for it now on the campaign trail.
Clinton saved the DNC, ethics questions aside, and she actually won the popular vote so SHOULD have been elected. Thing is, she'd have been impeached by now.
If you think it through, maybe we needed the shit-head in the White House now to be elected so people would wake up. Because there is one thing that is certain in my mind - as a party we'd become a bit complacent. Now, not so much. This resist movement has been the best thing that could have happened in terms of engaging people who otherwise would have remained apathetic.
We also had some great debate about platform planks.
Now, we are winning elections. That sweep two days ago was quite the thing. Did a lot for my optimism, surely.
