(1,732 posts)She's been a candidate for congress going on 13 times now. If she can't handle a simple question like that, she's not fit for office. Of course we knew that already, which is why she has a well-funded primary challenger.

(1,150 posts)She's earned her and her family the complete benefit package - guaranteed lifelong 'employment' with one of her choice of major private equity firms, pay not at all dependent upon experience or relevant skills.
That's the whole point of the job of DNC chairman!

The good people of Florida deserve better.
Thanks for the thread, Omaha Steve.

This is her campaign strategy to win.She is dismissive and avoids Tim at all cost. People understand this kind of rude dismissive behavior and will turn on her, just by learning of it.
We had a local mayor run his re-election campaign the same way. White guy in his 60's, opponent new to politics in his 30's, black male. Incumbent mayor never acknowledged even having an opponent, nor did he campaign. Well, he had people put up signs in their yards. He too never responded to a debate challenge. Complete denial that he had an opponent. So maddening! I was helping the new guy get elected. Unfortunately the rude white guy was re-elected, but only by 132 votes out of thousands who voted.
Anyway, the moral to the story is... the arrogant incumbents pull this kind of crap and it only works if no one hears about it. The incumbents know if they debated their challenger, it brings awareness of who the challenger is. This IS DWS primary campaign strategy to win.
I hope Tim is clever with his campaign and uses all that money well. He can beat her just by people learning of him and what she is doing.
Go Tim!!!
P.S. Thanks for 'listening' to my story.

(2,096 posts)She is so arrogant. I kicked in to his campaign. I could only afford $10 tonight (donated $50 to Bernie tonight) but I've bookmarked this thread to hit it again. She needs to be gone. I hope he wins!

(8,175 posts)and will send up updates and requests for more money. I've been getting them daily. I get them from Bernie too, and it helps remind me to kick in what and when I can.

(3,128 posts)So I'll contribute through DU. I am sure that DWS has a high-paying, cushy job waiting for her if she loses as reward for her actions as chair of the DNC.

(581 posts)election. They charge up to 600% in interest on borrowed money. This is a crime, stealing from those that cannot get a bank account.
In Arizona the voters, voted to close down Pay Day load companies and the Republican politicians overruled the voice of the people. They allowed them to reorganize under different names. |They are still charging up to 600% in interest on money borrowed and the Republicans make a haul with the Pay Day Loan companies. There was huge paybacks to the politicians.
So the GOP thumps it nose at the voice of the people and will do anything to increase there bank accounts.

. a lousy job during the midterms, Deb.
OnlinePoker
(5,725 posts)If she's unwilling to commit to a debate about the merits of the "work that I've been able to do", then how does she think she's actually going to put that information out to her constituents? Obviously it will be done in tidy little, non-critical TV and radio ads.
TexasMommaWithAHat

Thespian2
(2,741 posts)has certainly fucked over her South Florida constituents with her support of such things as pay-day lenders whose sole purpose is to vacuum money from the poorest people in the country...
But, if Her Royal Highness is coronated, Deb expects a high-level job...or the GREEDY BASTARDS she serves will give her some plum corporate position...either way she remains a LOSER...
Thanks, Obama...

(48 posts)I get phone solicitations from the DNC. Each time, I ask if DWS is still in charge at the DNC, and tell the caller that so long as she is, I'll be giving my money to specific campaigns but not to the DNC.
