How Long Will We Allow Debbie Wasserman Schultz to be Such A Screw-up?



During Tuesday’s democratic primaries, Arizona saw massive voting issues, including Maricopa County cutting its polling places down from 200 to 60. And the DNC isn’t speaking up to address it. So, is it time to kick Debbie Wasserman Schultz to the curb? America’s Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, discusses this with Thom Hartmann.

every election cycle since she was appointed as DNC chair. It's clear that she has no idea about how to organize the party at the national level, yet there was never any serious discussion of removing her until people got fed up with the fact that she's clearly trying to rig the Primary.

The DNC chair serves at the pleasure of the President and the fact is that he is just as culpable as DWS for the electoral losses that have occurred while he's been in office.

I am not sure that winning her seat is necessary for DWS to remain at the head of the DNC. If Hillary wins, I would be reasonably confident that DWS would keep her position regardless of whether she kept her seat.

If Hillary wins, the sky may be the limit for DWS.


Hell, Hillary could pick her for VP. It wouldn't surprise me a bit.

Secretary of State?

Chief of Staff?

Secretary pf Defense?

Those possibilities alone are enough to vote for Sanders.

Then, maybe, she'll lose her job. Think it can't happen? Ha! this woman has proven her incompetence in 2014 and heaven help Democrats in the next election with her in charge.

She knows exactly what she is doing. Don't give her cover by claiming she's incompetent. She is a crook.

What do you mean “WE”, kimosabe? I’m an average lower middle class older person. You must be mistaking me for a wealthy Oligarch that can afford to legally bribe political candidates. I don’t have any access to “free speech” as enjoyed by the billionaire donor class.

before that coronation takes place.

1) Sanders could still win the nominations (and should!)

2) Her 57 % disapproval rating over trust is lethal: no politician has ever been elected with such abysmal trust numbers, no matter how much the establishment wished things were different.

since being anointed leader of the Party.

I reply to all the DNC's emails asking WHY they are not jumping up and down screaming about what just happened in Arizona and ask WHY registrations are being flipped in NH, IL, WA, NY, CA and AZ.

So far...no reply.

2. What she does is very much premeditated.
3. Support her opponent to get her voted out of her seat.
4. That should lose her the DNC chair, at least I hope so.
5. She represents so much of what is wrong with our party.
