(546 posts)For this post on the same day that Hillary Clinton selected someone from the Labor Movement to run the Democratic National Committee.
Debby Wasserman Schultz will stay on as a figurehead but day to day operations and power is now in the hands of Brandon Davis, national political director for the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) who became the general election chief of staff for the Democratic Party. His selection formalizes the coordination of the Clinton campaign and the DNC, in stark contrast to Donald Trump who is currently at odds with his party and threatenng to " go it alone."
What is there besides general elections in presidential years that 135 million Americans all participate in?
From the American Conservative Union's ratings of members of Congress in 2014:
"Another interesting fact in our analysis is the stark reminder that Sec. Hillary Clinton is no moderate. While many in the media portray her as more centrist than self-described Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) or fringe activist Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Clintons lifetime rating of 8.13% (a perfect conservative voting record is 100) is within two percentage points from those extremists. And shockingly, all three of these presidential hopefuls are even more liberal than President Barack Obamas Lifetime Rating of 10% from when he served in the U.S. Senate. If America wants a third Obama term, three candidates will not disappoint."
