In reply to the discussion: UPDATED: Brazile to critics: 'Go to hell' [View all]TexasBushwhacker
(21,186 posts)As Brazile said in the interview, if she waited to release the book in 2018 she would be criticized for harming the mid-term elections. If she waited longer, then they would say she was harming the 2020 cycle. She has a right to tell her story just like Hillary did with "What Happened".
She ran Al Gore's campaign in 2000. She's served the DNC as vice-chairman and interim chairman. She knows what a standard joint fundraising agreement looks like and what it doesn't. I agree that she just confirmed what we already knew; that money that should be going to the states isn't, and it has cost us dearly. Per this article from 2015, it didn't start with Clinton.

Much attention is being focused on Brazile's objection to the arrangement with the Clinton campaign. Fair enough. That's what gets viewers on TV and clicks on the web. But I haven't seen headlines saying "Obama left DNC deeply in debt" and/or "Brazile inherited a nightmare from Debbie Wasserman-Schultz" and perhaps that's the real story.
