DWS must go.

If democrats are so worried about taking back the Senate and House and retaining the Executive branch, the DNC head must be fired.
There are far too many who've given up voting because they feel as though it doesn't matter. The DNC is supposed to work to elect all Democrats, but that's not what they're doing. The fact is DWS is alienating voters that we need to participate in the process. This should be of concern to ALL Democrats and those who care about Democrats getting elected to Congress and the WhiteHouse. We must turn up the heat until she is replaced.

...presuming the only important job requirement isn't ramrodding Hillary through to the nomination.

I'll vote for Hillary if she's the nominee but the process has been a bit disturbing and DWS's performance on this and the other races the past cycle has been unremarkable, to put it mildly.

instead of dividing it up in a better fashion, we lost both the house and the senate - what does it need to prove incompetence? The fact that she supported any republicans in Florida should be enough to get her disqualified.

"Nobody knows who the fuck I am".

I think the DNC's strategy having candidates like Nunn and Grimes refuse to even acknowledge they voted for Obama was terrible. I don't understand why candidates like these deserve DSCC and DNC dollars.

He makes the decision about DWS.

Based on the way he is treated around here, I don't expect him to take any advice from the DU.

He's just visiting.

He's not a Democrat, and when he loses the nomination, he'll go back to not being a Democrat. Give him 8 weeks and we don't have to hear about him anymore.

…..is supposed to make sure the Democratic message gets out there. If the highest number of voters were seeing the debates, the comparison with the clown car would help democrats at every level—in the senate, in local elections and in the big general.

The democratic debates remind America what a political party is supposed to do for the country. DWS is preventing that. She's destructive and worse.

hosed up everything she has touched in the past 10 years. There must over 1K in original posts here at this site, wanting her ass out. All I know is Obama put her in there. He should be able to get her out.

Yet nothing is done, and the DNC continues to slide down a hole they may never come out of. As this is happening, democracy as we know it is going down the same hole.

I certainly hope this is the final straw that breaks the camels back, but I'm not counting on it.

available to the sick in 2014. John Morgan, who is leading the effort, called her out for her opposition. She's no friend of the democratic rank and file.

I'm not sure when, or how but I am in agreement.

I do think some attacks on her are really out of line but it seems to be the new normal on here.
