25. I do not want either Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard nor DWS as DNC Chairperson.

Jun 2016

Many Democratic seats were lost under DWS.

DWS openly supported three GOP candidates over Democratic candidates in FLA.

DWS owns some of the bad vibe associated with the 2016 Democratic POTUS primary.

I do not understand how Hillary Clinton and POTUS Obama continue to support DWS aside from the crony part of partisan politics.

I do want a new chairperson of the DNC.

Gabbard has stated she isn't interested in the job, btw. n/t PoliticAverse Jun 2016 #1
That's good because nobody is interested in giving it to her. Metric System Jun 2016 #14
In other words, the entire thread is irrelevant. RufusTFirefly Jun 2016 #38

I live in Vegas. I know who Adelson is. Are there ties between him, Sanders and Gabbard? brush Jun 2016 #62
Maybe they're thinking of DWS. Who worked with Adelson to kill medical mj reform in Florida. Warren DeMontague Jun 2016 #68
Bernie wouldn't get his first pick regardless Tom Rinaldo Jun 2016 #4

Proving much of Bernie's criticism is personality, not policy. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #8
I wouldn't go that far, and the Clinton side refuses to discuss hot button policy so there we are AntiBank Jun 2016 #10
They're bashing Warren, while Bernie makes this kind of suggestion. It's crazy. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #13
I want Warren to stay in the Senate, not be disempowered in the VP slot, plus its a Rethug gov AntiBank Jun 2016 #22
He's not all that rethug actually rjsquirrel Jun 2016 #27

Lol. Good question. Given they used to often Hortensis Jun 2016 #57
That Politico article also implied Sanders isn't fundraising for Russ Feingold (he is). Eric J in MN Jun 2016 #11
This is bull. Gabbard isn't even interested in the job. She QUIT the DNC - remember? jillan Jun 2016 #12

the Politico article is tangential, and the Gabbard info is accurate AntiBank Jun 2016 #20
It's absolutely true that Gabbard supports many repugnantly right-wing positions. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #35

Your accusation lacks a name and has no weight except as an attack on Gabbard that I agree with. Todays_Illusion Jun 2016 #17
