Obama’s Endorsement Of Debbie Wasserman Schultz Brings In Serious Money... For Her Challenger

[OnlinePoker]

Source: Huffpost

Tim Canova, a progressive law professor taking on Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), pulled in more than half a million dollars in the first three months of 2016, according to his campaign — a massive sum for a political newcomer.

Canova raised $557,000, powered by small donations. Nearly 15,300 people donated, for an average contribution of $20. Only six donors gave the maximum amount allowed under law, meaning he still has a significant pool of people to tap into for future donations.

Wasserman Schultz has never faced a serious primary challenger in her congressional career, and as the Democratic National Committee chairwoman, she is a formidable candidate.

55. Thanks for your help out here in WI.

Sending Johnson packing would be priceless!

I will not say the idiots name, because he is just a tool for the Koch, Elliott Management, Club for Growth, Diane Kendrick's for starters--------------------and the other useless twit running the clown show out there.
I use to live in neighboring Minnesota and use to go through Duluth into Wisconsin for some partying back in my days of naivete and it was a great place-----------------I just don't know how you folks are putting up with that "stuff" just maybe today the supreme court justice that corrupt criminal twit running the show placed in there will be defeated with Kloppenberg winning-------------I really do hope she defeats her ----------she, Bradley is nothing more than a lackey, and just maybe taking back the court will be a start for the state ...................... if a lot of people over whelm the voter suppression system that the twit and his corrupt legislature put in place it will also take them down also.......................

Donate...anything...it all helps.

Little Debbie the Disaster has got to be gone!

[chervilant]

6. Maybe that's the uber chess game

everyone claims Obama plays: endorse DWS so that Canova can win.

[rurallib]

22. !

He even went so far as to name her party chair so we could all see how conservative she was.

[jalan48]

7. Great to hear. Corporate Obama let me down on this one.

[denbot]

11. Got an e-nail from him today.

I squeezed out $15, plus a 10% tip via the Act Blue link in his campaign e-mail.

[Omaha Steve]

12. Donate to Democratic Underground for Tim Canova FL-23 here

28. Thank you Steve! ^

[greiner3]

34. I'm sure there will be a lot of Hillary supporters

Especially here on DU will do the same

[DebbieCDC]

15. I donated $25 today with a tip for Act Blue

DWS has GOT to go. Seriously.

[Plucketeer]

17. I sent Tim $25 on Thursday

Seems incredible that we have to lay out money to buy back what's technically ours.

[turbinetree]

43. I saw your band item........................I think I'm #250 or something like that.................

[corbettkroehler]

16. Honored To Donate

If you haven't chipped in yet, even $1 would be welcome! TimCanova.com

[killbotfactory]

19. Done.

Just gave $10 bucks to him.

[Duppers]

18. I've made a couple of donations to Canova.

DWS must go. Now.

[redwitch]

20. Kicking

I can't do it today but will definitely be sending Tim a few dollars.

[Ferd Berfel]

23. SO DWS supports 300% Loan Sharks and Obama

Supports the end of US sovereignty and the middle-class - TPP.

And Hillary supports both of these people and wants to continue these policies.



oh yeah, that's the 'democrat' party

[99th_Monkey]

31. Who needs the GOP anymore?

That's why they are becoming irrelevant except as boogieman to scare
voters into voting Democratic.

[Ferd Berfel]

32. That's why the GOP has to keep getting more and more insane every cycle

It scares a certain element into not noticing that the RW Dems are Shepherding through the republican agenda.

BOth Clinton and Obama have done this

[Gregorian]

24. Hahahaha!

I gave money I do not even have.

[Duval]

25. Just donated to Canova, again! nt

[SHRED]

27. Where is her DNC in all this?

[MADem]

29. I'll bet a lot of his supporters also have donated to Trump.

Freshman are much easier to handle than senior leaders--they have no clout, they sit at the back of the room, they slog through boring subcommittee meetings and do grunt work.

[Jane Austin]

30. Thanks for the link, Steve.

Just made my first donation for Canova.

[Pastiche423]

33. Donated!

Will donate again.

[SmittynMo]

35. I hope this backfires

on Obama. Why in the hell would he want to endorse her? She DOES NOT stand for true democracy.

[OnlinePoker]

36. I believe he nominated her for the post

It wouldn't look good on him NOT to endorse her, because that would be admitting he made a mistake.

[SmittynMo]

39. Ya know,

Well tough shit. He made a mistake. We all have in our lifetime. One thing I always learned from my mistakes.......never do it again.

Instead, he doubles down on a losing effort. Not good judgement.

[sabrina 1]

41. Debbie did the job she was appointed to do. He did not make a mistake, she was supposed to keep

Corporate Candidates in Congress and make sure that no Progressive would win any seats. She did her job, the people however kicked out those Third Wayers in two midterms and kept the Progressives Still, not her fault in their view, that the people just won't cooperate. She tried her best, even supporting Repubs over progressives.

Obama knew what he was doing when he appointed her.

[bvar22]

49. Exactly.

She wouldn't have failed upwards from the DNC Red to Blue program (unmitigated disaster) if her bosses weren't well please with the job she is doing for THEM.
I expect her to Fail Upwards again after this.

[noretreatnosurrender]

51. Yes He Did

This was no error on his part.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

50. I thinks she does some dirty work for him and he is showing his appreciation.

I want so badly to be wrong, and I only believe this about 15%. But it still bothers me.

[tabasco]

37. People are sick and tired of eating crap sandwiches from the Democratic party

Count me in with the people who want a true, progressive party that is not a tool of the oligarchy.

[sabrina 1]

40. I'll be donating to him this week also, he's a fantastic candidate and a Bernie Democrat.

I'm surprised that Obama didn't realize how this goes now. When the establishment goes against the people, the people's candidate always raises money from the people.

Way to promote Tim Canova! Endorse DWS!

[Betty Karlson]

44. She never faced a serious primary challenger?

That partly explains the clueless "who else are they gonna vote for?" mentality.

[SusanCalvin]

45. One of those people was me.

And there's more where that came from.

[Dont call me Shirley]

46. RTFO!!!! Go Tim!!!!

[zentrum]

48. Thanks Obama!

[youceyec]

52. Obama is at 53% favorable nationally

choices....

[thereismore]

53. Is this the famous 12-dimensional chess Obama plays?

Unintended, I'm sure. But good nonetheless.

[brooklynite]

56. Sorry, can you explain your point?

[OnlinePoker]

58. Because I don't like Hillary

If Obama has the same effect by endorsing her as he did for DWS, Bernie's golden.

[brooklynite]

59. We're not talking about the impact of his support...

...we're discussing the OPs delusion that he loathes her.

And Clinton? Still 2 million votes ahead.

[Sunlei]

60. He's good, he could win but then I hope Republicans don't grab that Florida Congress seat in the end

[ncliberal]

61. Proud to be one of the 15,300! nt
