Debbie Wasserman Schultz

As John Kennedy said "life isn't fair". Fairly or unfairly she has become a fulcrum for those who are dissatisfied with how the primary concluded. She has to go. Let somebody else open the Convention. Life sucks sometimes. Her detractors want her head on a platter. Give it to them. Hell, I am reminded of Nathan Hale when he said he regretted "that he had but one life to give for his country."

Defeating Trumpism, i.e. incipient fascism is a moral imperative. I would give my own head on a platter to defeat him, not for myself but for our children and our friend's children.

If Trump and the Koch Brothers can influence local elections and the actual constituent's choice of representation with unrestricted, unaccountable money - why can't we?

Nothing like political payback - not much to do with our principles, but - whatever.

She will be fine.

Again, if I have a dog in this fight it's Clinton and it's morally imperative she wins.

Most of her white constituents are Jewish retirees from NY, NJ, and PA. The rest are Hispanics and African Americans Hillary won it with 70% of the vote.

I am an old school Democrat. I support our own.

For the good of the party DWS needs to stay away but I will never forget how she was mistreated.
