What if they sack DWS to make Bernie happy?

Looks like Bernie really hates her, and I can kinda see where he's coming from. Not like she's been great at her job or is good on TV or anything really. If replacing her gets him on board, I'm all for it.

4. Every Democrat who wants a majority in Congress should hate her.

She's a miserable failure, more interested in promoting the DLC than Democrats.

7. Yep. Set election strategy for the 2014 midterm, yielding historic losses.

While violating her duty to be impartial, delayed the Democratic primaries so long that media had mostly only the Republican candidates and Republican debates to talk about for weeks, thereby giving the Republicans, esp. Trump, a huge head start and losing millions of dollars in free advertising for Democratic candidates. Kept Florida state Democratic Party data from her current primary opponent until an independent (of her) Democratic organization intervened.

And that's what we know about!

What a piece of work.

I don't see Hillary accepting anyone who is not loyal to her.

Nothing will satisfy Sanders short of winning, and as he has demonstrated he is spiteful and angry. I fear he would use the office to settle old and new grudges.

All he's done is insult and harm a party he isn't even a member of, which btw has gone out of its way to be supportive of him. I don't like DWS much either, but ditching her to help that bitter loser just stinks.

I think most of the complaints against her are petulant but the perception that she needs to go is too strong so I think it's time for her to move on. It doesn't matter what's right or wrong about her, it's time for someone else.
