2016 Postmortem

She can kick ass and take names.

At the time, as most people don't remember, we all thought JEB BUSH was going to be our likely opponent, and the people who appreciate him have deep pockets.

We were anticipating a game of dollars, not a hack by a foreign government to install a Puppet Prince of Putin.

DNC chair IS a thankless job, and everyone who has held it has been HATED. I can remember the vicious excoriation of McAuliffe here despite the fact that he was one hell of a fundraiser and gave us--for the first time--a building of our own so we didn't have to worry quite so much about break - ins a la Watergate. Unfortunately, Putin figured out how to break in via computer.

Then, when McAuliffe started pardoning non-violent drug offenders as VA governor, he was suddenly restored to hero status. "Come home, dear, all is forgiven!"

Gotta look at the whole picture.

DWS is a tough and smart woman, of a minority faith in this country (and the "alt right Nazis" love to get all bigoted over that fact), who has overcome a shitload of obstacles, to include cancer and brutal sexism, to say nothing of heaps of lies about her. She's not evil. She's a decent person who represents her constituents (How DARE she reflect THEIR views! She should reflect the views of the most far left assholes who wouldn't give her a quarter to make a phone call!!!). That's why she cleaned the clock of her "bro" primary challenger, who whined and cried and demanded more and more out-of-state donations to bolster his aimless campaign.

Last, but not least: Obama endorsed her DURING her primary--so anyone who says that he was dissing her is talking from a playbook designed to crap on her, but has no basis in political reality.
