It’s unfair to assign one person all the blame for any calamity, but DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz clearly failed in the 2014 elections. In a parliamentary system, she would resign for the good of the party.
But in the US, elite leadership never takes responsibility for anything. So she stayed on as her friend Hillary Clinton clinched the Party’s nomination. DWS is still the Chair, but Hillary has now hired Brandon Davis to run the show, probably at least until November, possibly longer.
At that time many of us speculated on whether she was being pushed aside, or whether she was going to get a nice vacation before getting promoted to a Cabinet seat. Would such a miserable failure get a plum promotion from Hillary?
Well, who was in charge of the DNC for the other recent catastrophic fuckup of a midterm election?
And what’s he been up to lately?
I know which way I’m betting.
