Wasserman Schultz is Out

[Ben]

Apparently from Wikileaks fallout over sticking it to the Burn.

I wonder what she's thinking right now? She's full blown Obama/Clinton/establishment, but the news is that both Obama and Clinton told her she had to go. Getting tossed under two buses might shake someone's philosophy a bit, but she'll probably continue to be in the tank for the dem establishment.

I don't think that is going to placate very many people though, especially from the "Feel the Bern" group. Also maybe this will trickle down to the presumptive nominee and cause just a tiny bit more disenchantment in the Dem ranks. We can only hope.

From what I read today, the pro Bernie protest at the dem convention was exponentially bigger than any of the protests at the GOP convention. The dems and MSM may have to eat their words over their glee at Cruz vs Trump. Should be an interesting week.

[Ben]

Oh, for a real laugh, team Clinton has Russia in cahoots with Trump on the leaks. It's the communists and their sympathizers I tell you!

Not that Russian hackers might have been involved given how easy it apparently is to break into DNC servers.

Zero sympathy for her and everybody else who was in on rigging the Democratic primary.  I wonder if any of them ping to the irony that this was the "democratic" primary.  Of course nothing much will come of this, both parties will be bought and sold by the Wall Street highest bidder.  I wonder if Bernie regrets not going after Clinton like he should have?

Trump will probably squander this opportunity too because he can't keep himself from blurting out stupid sh*t. 

Republicans in Congress will probably call for more hearings and shoot themselves in the foot, again.  It's what they do.

I'm also curious to see what happens this week in Philly.

My prediction is that Clinton will wiggle out of this with very little dirt clinging to her.

"What difference, at this point does it make?"

Article I read said Schultz will quit after the convention.

Article I read said Schultz will quit after the convention.

Apparently they're letting her make an opening and closing statement, but looks like Donna Brazil will be handling the chair duties.

Also it appears right after throwing her under the bus on the DNC chair thing, Clinton has now made her some kind of chair for her election machine. The wheel goes round and round.

I can't cut and paste but the article is short.  DWS is now officially part of the Clinton campaign, as opposed to her previous unofficial work for Clinton as the DNC chair.

Today: under the bus.
Tomorrow: Cushy lobbyist position.

We truly live in shameless times

I'm really surprised Clinton did this now, vs after the convention. As much as I can't stand her, she's pretty cold and calculating. The Bernie people were already in an uproar over the leaks, and now I see this has them fuming even more. I suspect the convention protests are only going to escalate. Had she done this after the convention, her opposition would have lost a lot of their media coverage.

Is it really considered "hacking" if Hilary and emails are concerned?

Anyway, why are the bernbots protesting so much about this anyway? I thought they had lost faith in their lord and savior when he endorsed ... Hilary?





(can we alter the auto language clean up thingy to make word that starts with 'w' and rhymes with "Hitch" auto correct to Hilary? Because I don't want to slip up and break the rules, but I'm having issues)

I'm not surprised.  Pretty sure her arrogance knows no bounds.

Have to wonder if  that chair is electric...

I know a number of hard-core Bernieites who I'm going to remind of this... constantly... and ask them if they really want to accept the Bern's recommendation for whom to vote....

Her opening statement didn't go over very well. I wonder if she'll even bother trying to make a closing statement ...
