Tell DWS to take a hike. Here's some strategic advice: When someone is forced to resign from their position because they get caught with their finger on the scale in your favor, don't immediately hire them to your campaign. Why? It sends the message that DWS is getting "paid off" for her work during the primary. It feeds into the narrative that Clinton is a corrupt politician who rigged the primary process.
