2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: 5 Ways Bernie's Pick for DNC Chair Is Right-Wing as Hell [View all]PufPuf23
(8,688 posts)25. I do not want either Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard nor DWS as DNC Chairperson.
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.

As opposed to a chair that openly campaigned for Republicans against Democrats?

She's an opportunist who thought Sanders was going to win, which is why she . . .

I live in Vegas. I know who Adelson is. Are there ties between him, Sanders and Gabbard?

Maybe they're thinking of DWS. Who worked with Adelson to kill medical mj reform in Florida.

I wouldn't go that far, and the Clinton side refuses to discuss hot button policy so there we are

They're bashing Warren, while Bernie makes this kind of suggestion. It's crazy.

I want Warren to stay in the Senate, not be disempowered in the VP slot, plus its a Rethug gov

I feel as though Clinton and Warren would clash instantly, not just over policy, but also they are

VP doesn't even have a right to enter the White House without the president's invitation

That Politico article also implied Sanders isn't fundraising for Russ Feingold (he is).

This is bull. Gabbard isn't even interested in the job. She QUIT the DNC - remember?

It's absolutely true that Gabbard supports many repugnantly right-wing positions.

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

Pity Howard Dean would not want the job. In 2006, his 50 state strategy retook the House.
