Maybe they’ll tap Cory Booker. Works very well with Wall Street, speaks their language.
After the release of the e-mails, she pretty much needs to go. The optics of keeping her would be pretty bad.
Better now than 2-3 months from now. Democrats in disarray metanarrative by MSM in 3, 2, 1…
I’m not sure you needed to even count at all - CNN has had that narrative all morning, even before DWS announced that she will step down. Mr. Trump, of course, just tweeted almost your exact words.
Breaking News: Sanders asks for Wasserman-Schultz’ Head. Keeps it alive and periodically yells at it for outrage practice
After what happened to DWS, who, in their right mind, would want the job? Maybe Michael Steele is willing to switch party. He’s rested and ready.
Just started a conversation on an unrelated thread
with a number of observations-- if I may-- to jumpstart dialogue?
Alot of the complaints directed at DWS is circumstantial to the anomalous nature of this campaign.
With a dark-horse (I) candidate running as a (D)-- even the normal machinations of a political party are going to be scrutinized.
Say, for instance, that it had been Clinton and O’Malley as the two main (D) candidates.
Do you feel that the same stressful aspects would have played out publicly?
Was Wasserman-Schultz qualified for the job?
Did she do the job required of her?
Did she aspire to the higher-level of performance required of this election’s nature?
Does her resignation make things right?

Fine, now Florida vote her outta office She’s got a primary challenger
As the old spiritual says, “It’s been a long time coming” …
Independent of the Sanders stuff, she had to go. I don’t agree with having a DNC chair who is that openly one sided.
How would we feel if her allegiance had been to Sanders and not Hillary? As head of the commitee, she sets the tone.
Hillary was winning all along fairly. Too bad the executive people put their interests above the party and they should all go whoever was involved or didn’t say anything. Seriously, why do people shoot themselves in the foot?
In all honesty, after following tbe DWS-Sanders feud for almost a year, I’m hard-pressed to go beyond calling it a classic, internecine personality confict. DWS was simply not a good fit regardless of Bernie’s running and it has always been my opinion that Sanders is a high-maintenance prima donna. Both of them are “pills”. I just want them both to go away.
This has been a very different election cycle.
Sen Sanders was actually treated pretty well at the outset.
He was given entree to the DNC’s data and tools,
and accepted as a (D) candidate after running as an (I) for 30 years.
Thinks got a bit darker after Sanders’ IT guru
breached the Clinton database and saved files to his local hard drive–
followed by the Sanders’ campaign filing a suit against the DNC.

Exactly, she did not need DWS’ help to get the nomination. It unnecessarily fed into the Sanders bullshit and created unnecessary optics and charges that would never benefit Hilary Clinton, independent of wether those charges are fair or unfair
I know someone who got cursed out today
@jw1
This is very true, at the outset Sanders was treated well and embraced.
That doesn’t negate that DWS operated in a very pro Hilary partisan manner. In my eyes, the problem with being OK with this or justifying it away is that at some point the tide turns and the same behaviour / actions are directed at someone we support. By then it is too late to scream bloody murder.
Sanders has a lot of fault but in my opinion she (DWS) arrogantly played straight into his hands.
Why does this feel like Trump rat-screwing the DNC?
This is when I started really not trusting anything Senator Sanders had to say or any of his accusations. I think also that most people gloss over this incident when giving their opinion about the Bernie-DWS-“corrupt” back-and-forth BS. That, and Bernie suing the Democratic Party and various State Dem Parties – pissed me off after we welcomed him in with open arms.
I’ll qualify my reply with the statement that I’m not happy with much of what occurred on DWS’ watch.
But it remains that the DNC is supposed to promote the best (D) candidate based on electability.
HRC was that candidate-- that the DNC expected to win.
And that happens in nearly every primary. Until this year, for both parties, in dramatically different fashions.
With Biden stepping aside, and O’Malley and Sanders as afterthoughts–
it would have taken Nostrdamus to have predicted the events as they unfolded.
DWS is not a chess player. She’s an autocrat.
My expectations-- though low for this role-- still went unmet.
