Charles Pierce: time for Debbie Wasserman Schultz to go

. . . It is time for her to go. More important, it's time for Hillary Rodham Clinton to insist that she go.

In addition to putting the Congress behind some of the worst predatory bastards in America, this move also gives the lie to anything HRC says about her dedication to reigning in financial crimes. Moreover, this puts the DNC squarely on the other side of the issue from both Bernie Sanders and Senator Professor Warren and, therefore, on the other side of the issue from about 90 percent of some voters she is going to need desperately in the fall.

. . . This is nothing new for DWS, who's been looking out for these creeps for quite some time because they nest in thousands of seedy strip malls up and down Florida. But to have her presiding over a presidential campaign that has as its driving force the financial crimes that tanked the economy, crimes that reach all the way from Goldman Sachs down to Sunrise Gotcher Money Here on Route 4 in Lakeland, is bad politics on all angles.

1. Yeah, her "leadership" has been disasterous

Not to mention a constant embarassment for the party.

2. I totally agree.

This latest bad move on her part is just one of a long list of disastrous moves.

I think it was Charlie Pierce himself who, in an earlier piece about the question of her limiting Democratic primary debates, described DWS as "clumsy and devious." I'd also add "incompetent". She is the worst DNC chair in my memory. Given the stakes of the 2016 election, we need someone who is smart, competent and principled.

PLEASE can we get rid of DWS, NOW?!

4. Schultz is trying to give the whole election to the GOP. nt

5. There's a good new candidate running for her seat. He needs support.

Unfortunately I also need support. I have googled, and even posted about the guy, and can't find him. Now I'm too busy to research it. But I don't see any other way. It's a bit late to be lamenting what's going on. Shit, we're still running electrons through a republican owned voting machine. Someone, I think it was hifiguy, has a great phrase along the lines of fox-based hen house protection?

6. No arguments here!

The DNC needs to drop her like a bad habit!
