Why did Obama, Reid and Pelosi keep DWS for so long?

[edhopper]

she was awful and should have been done after 2014.

http://www.mediaite.com/online/report-dws-wanted-to-paint-obama-as-anti-woman-and-anti-semitic-if-ousted-as-dnc-chair/

Buried inside a Politico report about Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz‘s (D-FL) future aspirations was an interesting revelation: “When [Wasserman Schultz] sensed Obama was considering replacing her as chair in 2013, she began to line up supporters to suggest the move was both anti-woman and anti-Semitic.”

Wasserman Schultz is reportedly very much at odds with White House staffers, and rarely even speaks with President Barack Obama.

2. Ah, so that's why she demanded he tell her to resign or be fired

She didn't think he would do it lest she sic her dogs on him.

[runaway hero]

3. Yup

Total manipulation.

4. Wow, what happened to her?

Years ago I really admired her. Was she always this power-hungry? Thank you for the link.

[runaway hero]

5. She got power and it went to her head.

[liberalmuse]

6. It makes me sad.

But she needed to go a long time ago.

7. This could have been completely prevented.

Some people just love to mess it up.

12. More likely she was always disposed to use power selfishly but didn't look out of the ordinary

compared to the other ambitious people who are out there seeking office.

Then she got an office that added means and opportunity to desire

[runaway hero]

13. very true.

seems like a problem wherever she goes.

10. DWS probably went through the metamorphisis that most Florida neo-liberal Dems go through.

Their ethics become fluid the more they develop social relationships for the sake of coalitioning.

I'm not sure that she didn't go willingly under the bus, knowing that she will rise again like the Phoenix after the fire subsides.

9. she is more horrible

than I thought.
Hope she loses her seat.

14. Please give to Tim Canova.

8. Why did they keep Rahm so long?

They cannot always be good apples, you get a few bad ones - every administration does. Glad they are doing something about it, not that I believe it will effect the outcome of the election. HRC was going to win anyway.

[runaway hero]

11. exactly

now the admin can be just a bit cleaner.

16. It was a good move. Smart, we won't be losing seats anymore.

The DNC can say they are above partisanship now with her exit. Transparency and fairness are good things and part of our core values.

[runaway hero]

17. Exactly.

At least we agree. "Transparency and fairness" seems optional to some here. Plus we need new blood.

15. same reason Devine and Weaver were kept by Sanders

18. She did what she was ordered to do.

She got the outcome that was "desired" by the powers that be. Her job is now done.
