Thread for anyone who wants to DEFEND Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

If you actually think there is something defensible about the way she has run the DNC, in any way at all, here's your chance to tell us what that something is.

Give it your best shot...

1. Or maybe I should wonder why she allowed a candidate who has beat on the DNC

For years to be accepted as a candidate.

3. Because the statesman caucused with the party, would be my bet.

Also, the same statesman supports the democratic party platform and vision for America.

Just a guess.

They have done nothing but hurt the Democrat party.

that could possibly make me hate both Hillary and Debbie Whataloser-Schultz more than I already did.

A Secretary of State that will reverse-course on the proper direction our interactions with Israel and Cuba have taken under Obama, towards conditioned-support in the first instance and towards normalization of relations in the second instance.

I just preemptively wrote my Congresswoman and Senators to oppose this nomination if made.

10. Don't like her but she didn't force Bernie to cheat

I find it amusing that his supporters think 40 minutes of stealing data is simply noticing that there's a breach. She's going to be around longer than Bernie.

11. She's supported Republicans while being an elected Democrat and she's against cannabis reform

so I've never cared for her. The last two midterms have been devastating to Democrats so there is not really any reason to be supportive of her tactics or strategy because it fails to deliver victory.

I note that when asked how you would defend her, you did not manage to actually do so. You just took a swipe at Bernie for the actions of a staffer he instantly fired. This suggests that even you have no argument to make in favor of Debbie.

13. The point is we know why this thread was started...

It was trying to change the topic of Bernie and his staff cheating, which they did...and if you think this is just a random Debbie bashing thread, you are sorely mistaken.
