All it took DNC interim Chairperson Donna Brazile to consider replacing Hillary Clinton as the party nominee was Clinton getting the flu:
Donna Brazile, the former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, revealed in her upcoming memoir that she wanted to remove Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton from the 2016 election ticket, and replace her with former Vice President Joe Biden.
Both Clinton, and her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., would have been replaced by Biden and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., the Post reported. In the memoir, Brazile wrote that she contemplated more than a dozen combinations of candidates until she felt Biden and Booker were best suited to win over working-class voters, and defeat then-candidate Donald Trump.
If bailing out the party from its financial trouble was sufficient for Sen Sanders & his supporters to cry foul & Democratic party ‘rigging’ the election, i wonder if Sen Sanders & his supporters are outraged at this subversion of democracy.
Calls for party unity only seems to go one way. Sen Sanders & his supporters are courted by the party and they behave with disdain deciding to sit out of the Virginia Governor election. The party will be united only after we get this behavior addressed.
Until then, i wish our volunteers in VA (and the special election in NJ) all the best for this week's elections.
