More on DWS (none / 0) (#2)
by Michael Masinter on Mon Jul 25, 2016 at 02:06:32 PM EST
How come DWS waited so long? Why did she hold on to a job she so poorly performed when her continued presence was hindering what should have been her primary goal once the primaries were over -- the election of Secretary Clinton. Did DWS think the convention was all about her? That she was the actual candidate? Falling on her sword would have  been easy and honorable; instead others finally had to run her through.  

She has a new job (none / 0) (#11)

Will be working for the Clinton campaign,

Rather than allowing Wasserman Schultz's career to go down with her resignation, Clinton has awarded Wasserman Schultz a new role as honorary chair to the Clinton campaign's 50-state program.

"There's simply no one better at taking the fight to Republicans than Debbie--which is why I am glad that she has agreed to serve as honorary chair of my campaign's 50-state program to gain ground and elect democrats in every part of the country, and will continue to serve as a surrogate for my campaign nationally, in Florida, and other key states," Clinton announced.

Clint Eastwood was the one with an honorary chair; but it was empty.

Nationwide search? I doubt it (none / 0) (#71)

Giving Debbie an honorary title is fine as long as she doesn't actually do anything. But what does that say to the rest of the country -- loyalty uber alles? Conventions aren't held to preach to the choir; they are staged to reach the rest of the voters, who will now see rancor.  

What a sorry way to start the convention, all easily avoided had DWS left two months ago.

Nahhhhh (5.00 / 1) (#84)

They would've had their tantrum either way.

I wasn't a big fan of DWS before, but now I'd like to see her appointed to a cabinet position.

I don't agree that if DWS had been (none / 0) (#74)

Axed earlier it could "all have been avoided".   A lot of this stuff was just going to happen.  If it had not been DWS it would have been something else.

In fact I think it might have acted as a bit of a release for some of the anger.

seems like some of the emails from wikileaks relate to some employees of the Democratic party, implied as being directed by DWS, were at least keeping track of DWS's opponent for her seat in congress.  Respected local Miami paper is reporting her opponent will file this as a violation with the FEC.
