1. They were not helpful but now it is too late. You can't unring a bell

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Donald Trump is parroting them.

[leftofcool]

6. I know.

[joeybee12]

2. Why is there even a Yes option? Nt

[treestar]

4. No and I think she should have

thought about not stirring the pot like that.

[Paladin]

5. Considering that trump is now telling everybody to read Brazille's book?

Fuck no.

[DinahMoeHum]

7. I don't hang around losers like her.

[still_one]

8. nope, but that was never Donna Brazille's intention

[The Genealogist]

12. Whatever her intentions were with this stunt, we are all going to suffer for it

I don't know why she did this when she did, but this information will be magnified and probed and run through the Great American Media Bothsidesism Exageration Machine until it doesn't resemble at all its original form.

[still_one]

17. I definitely agree. Her explotation could not have happened at a worse time. Just as everything

was focused on the nefarious activities of this administration, and the atrocious republican legislation, a good amount of the focus will now be on this, and in a similar way to when Comey sent the letter to the republicans in Congress, and the media falsely reported it as "the email investigation was reopened", they are distorting and misrepresenting what actually occurred with Brazils over the top comments.

[Catherine Vincent]

9. I voted No

But I am biased. I never cared for her.

[Not Ruth]

10. Maybe

Because now both the DNC and the GOP will need to release past and future agreements and who knows what is in the GOP version.

[dsc]

25. you mean like Trump released his tax returns after Hillary released

over 3 decades of hers.

[lunasun]

11. No Helping her sell lots of books many to trumpers who want to say look here

[comradebillyboy]

20. Given the quality of the prose in the excerpt

I doubt if it will be a best seller.

[Merlot]

33. I noticed that too

Only read a couple excerpts and was suprised at the style of writting. Maybe it was rushed through.

[joshcryer]

37. Her book will be an epic flop.

[democratisphere]

13. Brazille and Warren who? Don't know them!

Democrats.need real leaders. Real.

[smirkymonkey]

30. +1000

[Adrahil]

15. If we lose Virgina, blame Brazille. What a fucking idiot. NT

[comradebillyboy]

21. And Elizabeth "Yes Hillary rigged the primary" Warren.

[comradebillyboy]

26. I hope you are right.

[smirkymonkey]

31. I agree. I never thought she stood a chance.

She is my senator and I always liked her, but I don't think she has what it takes to run for POTUS. She's beginning to grate on me though.

[Catherine Vincent]

16. Speaking of Brazille...

Why is she not on all the networks pimping her book? Isn't that what most of them do?

[Old Vet]

18. She doesnt need to, The president is hawking her book relentlessly...Fuck

[Jim Dandy]

19. kick

Needs more votes.

[aikoaiko]

24. The truth will set us free.

[aikoaiko]

28. Whose truth. indeed. Has HRC, Amy Dacey, or Tom Perez denied the DB accusation?

Hopefully, someone will produce the agreement and we can stop speculating if DB misread the date or not.

And we're not talking about the entire book -- just the claim that an agreement in 2015 allowed the DNC to under the control of HRC.

[Historic NY]

29. The DNC has long been a problem, it sat on its laurels

for 8 yrs accumulating debt, but suddenly its all Hillary's fault. She did absorb that debt and raised money, even lived up the the agreement to share but she is the scapegoat. Brazille is one of the old past that should be held responsible.

[Freethinker65]

32. Our goal???

[NightWatcher]

35. Our goal is electing Democratic candidates

This would've and will lead to trump's defeat.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

36. Is it not "our goal" to defeat Donald Trump?

[Freethinker65]

39. Actually no. Our goal WAS to defeat Donald Trump.

He “won”, or colluded with a foreign government to win, or suppressed the vote to win, etc. Our goal now is to support Democratic candidates, support Democratic nominees, and support Democratic legislation.

I hate what Donald Trump, his cabinet and appointees, judges like Gorsuch, and the GOP lead legislature are doing to our country.

I will support his impeachment if the GOP ever puts country above party.

I will work to defeat a Trump if/when he runs for a second term.

I understand your point, but there is so much more going on here than to just be against Trump.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. Chump is actually parroting "Donna B".

I can't possibly see what her motivation was to provide him with ammunition.

[kimbutgar]

38. It is a 2-3 day story that will be forgotten by next week

The only ones concerned will be faux who viewers will never vote Democratic.

I think Donna will end up hurting her reputation with this story as her account has already been disproved.

[Binkie The Clown]

41. Pass. Putin and Trump want us debating this. I'll pass and stick to stuff that matters. nt

[Amaryllis]

44. Good point. you're right; yet another distraction.

[Amaryllis]

42. MOre playing right into Putin's hands by sowing discord. Makes you wonder if she is also complicit.

[Madam45for2923]

43. Howard Dean: Turns out the memo Donna spoke about applied only to the general election.
