If president, Sanders would fire DNC chairwoman

[Jesus Malverde]

1. Maybe he could get Trump to make a cameo and tell her "You're fired!" in person.

[Fairgo]

2. Lance that Boil on the body Politic

Then irrigate the wound. It's going to leave a scar.

[larkrake]

3. there is no point, her term is up

DNC needs to elect someone who doesnt push or act preferencial to any candidate. This should be a party law, or rule.DWS is an embarassment to all women politicians. All partys speak for a diverse people. Insisting anyone fall in line with a DNC chair is the height of destructive behavior.

4. And if I were the Queen of the World, the work week would be only two days. But who cares about

either of those things?

[highprincipleswork]

5. Wow, another great reason to vote for Bernie. Maybe we could win elections again.

[Melissa G]

6. There are so many reasons to Support Bernie

That is yet more evidence of his excellent judgement
Ditch Debbie!

7. I never knew Chairpersons were appointed

by the new President, who appoints if we lose?

So someone appointed her, and at one time Ed Rendell?

Why the political ups and downs in this position?

The party endures more than any incumbent

didn't we used to have Chairmen who served a long time?

Howard Dean ran a competitive strategy in 50 states.

What happened?

9. Howard Dean was chosen by the state party chairs

...to be DNC chair, after input from regular Democrats including me.

Ed Rendell was DNC chair from 1999-2001 and so President Bill Clinton appointed him.

[mrr303am]

11. President Obama appointed her & reappointed her at the start of his 2 terms as POTUS

[ReRe]

15. Who the eff knows?!

If something turns out good, they 86 it. It seems we try things and if they don't work, we keep them. If they do work, we dump them. Go figure! WTF???? It invites and maintains constant turmoil.

[Eric J in MN]

8. Sanders didn't say he would fire her.

He said he wouldn't re-appoint her. DNC chairs only serve one-term, anyway.

[ReRe]

16. Wait a minute...

Who was the DNC Chair between Howard and Debbie? I think it has been DW-S for nearly 8 years. And the Democratic Party has gone down, down, down. More red state governors, more GOP majorities in state legislators passing through whatever ALEC puts through the pike, more GOP US House members and Senators. All I can say is whoever does the hiring of DNC chairs isn't doing the Democratic Party any favors by keeping this misbegotten person in this terribly important post. This ain't no way to run a political party. Does ANYONE know why our party is like this? They changed everything back 24 years ago so Dems would win elections again, and now they are shooting themselves in the foot!

19. Tim Kaine was DNC Chair from about January 2009 through April 2011.

Debbie has held the job for the last 5 years. She has actually served for slightly less time than Reinse Preibus at the RNC.

Regardless of who wins the next election DWS will be stepping down at the end of the year.

[ReRe]

23. Thank you...

... for that bit of good news. Tim Kaine didn't do much that sticks out in my mind. I guess I think DW-S has been in there all that time because of the disastrous job she has been doing for the Democratic Party.

[StevieM]

24. Well most of our losses occurred in 2010, before DWS took over.

2014 wasn't good either, largely because the country went into an ebola scare right before the election.

In 2012 Obama won reelection. We picked up seats in the Senate even though we had a lot more to defend then they did. We also won the popular vote for the House, but it was gerrymandered beyond belief.

2016 obviously hasn't happened yet.

It's not that her departure has been officially confirmed. It just pretty much goes without saying. Party chairs usually serve for one term, alongside a presidential term. Sometime a chair will step down in the middle of their term. When that happens their successor may finish out the remaining time in the term and then serve a full term of their own. That is what happened with both Reinse Preibus and Debbie Wasserman Schultz. And so they will both be finishing their jobs at the end of the year.

Besides, Obama appointed her. When he goes, she goes.

[beastie boy]

10. And if Pope, he would fire the President of the Pontifical Council.

But who would he fire if not President? That's a far more likely issue he will have to contemplate.

[EndElectoral]

12. Many here could get behind that action Bernie.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

14. K&R

MSNBC will take her in a heartbeat. And we'll get to see MORE of her.

[ReRe]

18. The only viable place for DW-S

... (should she actually be fired for doing such a lousy job for the Democratic Party) would be

17. She is pretty terrible.

[DrBulldog]

21. Meanwhile, Obama sits there with his head up his anus letting Wasserman-Schultz corrupt the process.

So there you have it. Corruption all the way to the top.

[Geronimoe]

25. Obama appointed her to the position

and Hillary made her co-chair of her 2008 campaign. So Debbie is just one of the establishment that doesn't care about the 99%.

[Cryptoad]

22. Well she is safe ,,,, he will never be Prez
