I haven' t liked her since she ran Al Gore's campaign into the ground.

it's entirely conceivable she's working for the GOP now.

Like Trump, she must also be broke. Didn't work very well, hope she got her funds in advance.

back at the priests. Take it metaphorically. She is already caught up in her mistake about the dates.

Brazile's claims were false, and now the damage is done so people are calling for investigations into the DNC and Hillary. This will probably also cost us the VA Governor race.

Warren is more high profile and relevant going forward so her gaffe was worse.

The variable absolutely is the Virginia governors race. If Republicans steal that race then 2017 was a winning year for them. There is no way it can be spun any other way. All the mocking threads here and Trump low approval rating mean squat if they continue to succeed at the ballot box.

Why the Party chose to make her interim chair after that made no sense to me. Maybe's she's always been ethically challenged.

Especially when the question was no doubt already rehearsed and Clinton had the answer for it. It wasn't even like she was helping, it was purely hurting her to even attempt it.

She's never been anything but a loyal Democrat, so I doubt she was trying to do harm, but the damage was done. It's sad all the way around.

disloyal and purposefully causing harm. (Warren, too)
At best?
haven’t figured that out yet.

Something so easily and quickly disproved casts her into the “stupid” column.
$ for book sales?
Attention?

There is no “at best” is there?
