Wasserman Schultz resigning as party leader - CNNPolitics.com


Well, a not unexpected followon from the leaked DNC emails. Sanders called for her to step down months ago, and reiterated that today in wake of the email leak. The damage is already done in terms of the Democratic nomination though.

This doesn't reflect well on the DNC's actions, but I hope this resignation prompts more future transparency from the DNC. Will be interesting to see HRC's official word on this.
 

They are as transparent as the Obama administration. Why change now?
 

Damn, beat me to it.

New article that came out a few minutes ago:

Democratic party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz steps down


Hang onto something. This crazy election process just got crazier.

Bwwwaaahahahahahahahahahahaha

No, they want this swept under the rug. If they can get her to resign and then hope the election cycle takes over the news feeds, that will be the best for them. Opps, our bad...then poof forgotten.

There will be no changes that result from this.
 
Better transparency in the future? No. Better cyber security? Oh yeah.
 

I dunno, if they keep pushing Clinton for nominee after this they may just end up alienating themselves and handing Trump the White House.
I dunno if they want to risk that.

That's a pipe dream. There's gonna be no transparency coming from the DNC anytime soon.
 
It's about time.

Or any Establishment-controlled party for that matter. It's because they know that people don't want what they're trying to cram down our throats, and nothing they have planned is good for the citizens of this country.
 
Jesus Christ and THIS story broke not long after the thread topic.

The Democrat Party is coming apart at the seams, they need to abort if they don't want Trump to be President.

Because the current lack of transparency from the DNC has led to absolute disaster, and a real possibility of a loss to a maniac in the form of Donald Trump. This should have been the easiest electoral year for the democrats in recent history, yet they've done nothing but shoot themselves in the foot over and over again. I would hope, that given the trainwreck that this whole situation has been, that whomever comes in now has the wherewithal to instigate some change. The DNC might have been corrupt, but they're not stupid. They have to realize that they have a lot of trust to regain, and to paraphrase someone from another thread (I forget who), if they don't want dirty laundry aired, they better stop making dirty laundry.

Maybe I'm just being optimistic.
 

Again, they followed the leadership. Transparency is a word, bandied about and rarely practiced.
 
Too little, too late.

Politicians have an interest in getting around certain procedural issues dealing with communication, so private servers and other non-secure means of communications will be readily used.
 
Does anyone honestly believe Wasserman didn't do exactly what Hillary told her to do?

Same with Donna Brazielle?
 
Right now the Democratic Party is in emergency mode! They have been exposed and the Sanders supporters/delegates are incensed.
This is just the start of the damage of the Wiki Leaks. If they think by Schultz stepping aside will calm people they are very wrong.

The media was all a flutter about the RCN being unruly. Wait till you see what happens this week in Philly!
 
I have no idea why she's resigning. It was never a secret that Hillary was going to be the nominee this year and anyone who really thought that an election mattered when it came to that fact has their head in the clouds. The Clintons are the king and queen of the Democrat party and have been since the 90's. Obama was allowed the WH in 2008 only because that solidified the black vote. He might be the ideological face of the party but Clinton is the bank so she gets to make the calls.
 

So the DNC hasn't started and there is chaos !! :lamo
 
What morons.

When will people realize that EVERYTHING in EVERY email they send MUST be assumed to be public one day...if not today.
 

Au contraire, I would submit that they are both. Hillary may well lose this election.
 
Imagine if the Republicans had nominated a competent candidate. They would walk away with the election in a heartbeat.

As it is, maybe both parties will crash and burn. That would be something to watch. v
 
it was time for her to go. issue one was poor party messaging. issue two was that the DNC got behind one candidate from the beginning and tried to work against the other one. it looks like she's still going to try to gavel the convention in and out and give a speech to the delegates, but the Clinton campaign will probably work to prevent that.
