2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Whoa... 'Liberal Group Demands DNC Chairwoman (DWS) Resign - TheHill [View all]BlueCaliDem
(15,444 posts)10. From your keyboard to the goddesses' ears in the heavens!
I've disliked DWS since, well, forever. Especially when she worked hard for her Republican friends in Florida while being totally disdainful toward a hopeful Democrat when he ran against one of her friends.
The OP headline is BAD. Then again, it's The Hill - not exactly a Democratic-friendly "news"paper.
Esquire, however, had a far better article, citing DEMOCRATS instead of "Liberal Groups".
[font color="black" size="4"]The Democratic Revolt Against the DNC Chair Begins[/font]
Democratic operatives are starting to make noise about Debbie Wasserman-Schultz's questionable leadership.

The blog generally stays away from the Dems In Disarray narratives because, too often in the past, these have been used to obscure the fact that the Republicans are running an incredible passel of public omadhauns for president. However, the blog also has been quite clear in its desire that Democratic national chairperson Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-CNN) be removed from her current position because the evidence that she's done much of anything in the post is not exactly overwhelming. This feeling, it appears, is becoming somewhat general.
Deb Kozikowski, vice chairwoman of the Massachusetts Democratic Party, said the chief of the Democratic National Committee, US Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, had done a disservice to grass-roots volunteers by allowing Republicans to dominate the airwaves for the last month. "How do I tell these really dedicated Democrats who work really hard from top to bottom that debates for our presidential candidates are restricted, and they're there watching all these Republicans get all this air time?" she said. "I think about the folks at the grass roots who work day in day out, no money no glory, because they believe in democracy with a small 'd' and the Democratic Party with a large 'D,' getting bombarded with all these Republican candidates."

Indeed: he'd be pefect for the position, and help to reassure the nearly revolting left wing. eom

I'm amazed how he keeps his cool, and just makes point after point...unaffable.

She's a loser of elections unless of course getting Republicans elected is your thing.

Part of it, maybe, but most of it is Republican-supporting "news"paper nonsense.

Bad headline. It should read, "Democrats Demand Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to resign", otherwise

And the article didn't even mention how she has endorsed Repubs over Dems in Florida.
