Just look at this statement for a second or two - DWS

"it's unfair to compare Democratic debate ratings to the GOP's because of the presence of Donald Trump in the Republican field."

It's unfair to compare Democratic debate ratings (after I scheduled them on days when you would be on a plane, watching the playoffs or out Christmas shopping) because Donald Trump is in the Republican field.

Oh, so having an opponent means it's unfair.

We are rudderless if this is what is guiding our party, and by no means do the dubious duo of Hillary and DWS need to be running us off of a cliff.

I'm a Democrat, but I'm not stupid. If you can look at that as a strategy, I'm pretty certain you can't spell strategy, figure out how to even get to the polls or figure out how to vote, on the off chance you happen to wander into your precinct's correct polling place on accident.

1. Oh, how the mediocre has fallen!

I was going to say, "Unbelievable", but unfortunately that boat has sailed.

[1StrongBlackMan]

2. The link doesn't work for me ...

So I have no idea what you are trying to say.

[Fumesucker]

3. You have problems, we have solutions

[1StrongBlackMan]

4. Thank you. Do you really think ...

Trump's presence had no effect on viewership of the Republican debates?

[Fumesucker]

5. Do you really think the dorky schedule of the Democratic debates didn't?

[Enthusiast]

12. Slam! Bam!

[BainsBane]

6. Apparently it's DWS's

Fault that billions aren't tuning in to hear Bernie.

Now that I've watched him in five debates, I think it's safe to say that if they caught one debate--or even part of one--they got as much as they are ever going to hear. That is less so for the other two candidates, but I suspect that the OP isn't concerned about their not getting enough exposure.

[1StrongBlackMan]

8. LOL ...

I'm pretty sure the benevolent OP is concerned that O'Malley and HRC aren't getting sufficient face time.

[A Simple Game]

20. I can't speak for the OP but this Bernie supporter would like to see Hillary get lots more exposure

along with Chelsea and Bill. And let's not forget the surrogates too.

Bernie is fast becoming the master of the gentlemanly counter to the attacks they all try so poorly to execute. That and all the money he makes after each attack helps too.

[1StrongBlackMan]

23. Okay ...

I guess one sees what one wishes.

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. I guess one does.

[A Simple Game]

33. One can also be blind to what they don't want to see. n/t

[1StrongBlackMan]

34. True. But it is presumptuous to assume what someone doesn't want to see. eom.

[A Simple Game]

35. But not to assume that someone see what one wishes?

I guess one sees what one wishes.

It's all OK one way but not the other isn't it?

[1StrongBlackMan]

36. Those are two different propositions ...

The one is based on the evidence of what is written, the other is based on what one presumes someone else is thinking.

[A Simple Game]

37. Evidence of what is written? OK.

I wrote:I can't speak for the OP but this Bernie supporter would like to see Hillary get lots more exposure
In this I am speaking for myself and no one else.

Words you used: pretty sure, guess, assume. Yes words you used, reread the sub-thread if you don't believe me.

So just who are you accusing of making presumptions?

7. DWS is a very shallow thinker

working for a shallow cause that appeals to ill informed status quo droids .

[1StrongBlackMan]

10. Wow ... that was deep.

[Betty Karlson]

15. DINO-Debbie needs to go - she is hurting the party in too many ways. eom

[pnwmom]

9. Uh no. What she's saying is that Trump is a celebrity and a showman and his presence

increases their ratings. No doubt it does. He pulls in all his fans in addition to the normal debate crowd.

We don't have anyone like that and we don't want anyone like that -- even if it gives them higher ratings.

[1StrongBlackMan]

11. No ...

You misunderstand ... "bad DWS because something! "

[pnwmom]

14. There's always something.

[FSogol]

31. +1 n/t

[GoneFishin]

13. Yep. Rudderless.

[Ford_Prefect]

16. Clueless on K Street is more like it. They are not rudderless as much as they are beholden

to too many captains of industry, and don't dare offend any of them.

[stonecutter357]

17. thanks Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

18. It's unfair to stick sick people in a prison cell for using medical marijuana, Debbie.

[Doctor_J]

19. That is one of the problem we'll have if it's trump/Clinton in the ge

There will probably be an enthusiasm gap.

[Feeling the Bern]

21. DWS - proof mediocrity deserves representation in the DNC leadership team

Modern day Clement Haynesworth in her "struggling to approach average" status

If we win this election, it will be in spite of her, not because of her.

[RoccoR5955]

22. What a steaming pile

of bovine fecal matter!
It stinks too!

[raouldukelives]

24. Anyone but Bernie. Anything but democracy. The DWS mantra. nt

[randr]

26. How about we compare Democratic winnings over the past election?

[merrily]

27. DWS just may be the worst head of the DNC in the history of the DNC.

Setting election strategy is the overarching responsibility of the DNC. The 2014 election strategy of "Obama who?" resulted in historic Democratic losses at local, state and federal levels, going back to 1928. Hell of a job, Debbie! That she was not replaced after that alone smells to high heaven.

And speaking of smelling to high heaven, Debbie's corrupt handling of this primary is likely to cost the Party dearly, especially with Millennials and other younger voters and with people who came back to the party just to vote for Sanders in the primary.

30. +1000 nt

[fredamae]

28. After all this time-After Hundreds of Lost seats

under her "rule"...
Seriously-how can anyone not see this as the strategy/goal rather than believe or promote the Idea that it's stupidity. She's still the Leader of the DNC after Years and thousands of people asking for her ouster.

[Baitball Blogger]

29. DWS could have only come to prominence in a state like Florida,

[merrily]

32. Dunno. DNC chair is, by defintion, a national position and it's quite prominent.

That she had already come into prominence when she got the chair doesn't explain why she got the chair or why she's managed to keep it after such a disastrous tenure--and counting.
