(80,708 posts)DWS needs to go because she's making all of us look bad.
Hillary is going to be the nominee despite her "help", not because of it.
The idea that getting rid of her is going to terrify some seven HUNDRED or so superdelegates into backing him for the nomination- you dont actually believe that, do you?

(68,555 posts)I am not going to stand for any rigging of the process by Sanders period. Hillary won and she gets the nomination...Bernie goes home.
Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)Still, DWS needs to go. A lot of people in both camps recognize what a problem she is for our image.

I just can't picture Sanders being an enthusiastic supporter of Hillary Clinton.
I hope I'm wrong but...yeah I don't see it.

(20,176 posts)I'm a fan of Occam's Razor; the simplest answer almost always being the correct one.
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has done a terrible job as chair of the DNC, costing us seats in both chambers of Congress in several election cycles and ruining even any appearance of impartiality between the various wings of the party during her term in that office, long before this primary season even started...both of which are reasonable grounds for the DNC vice-chairs and prominent Democrats to want her fired from the position.
The biggest problem (of which there are many) with your theory is that the people trying to oust her, a list that supposedly includes the majority of Senate Democrats, is that they're all super-delegates and a sizeable portion of them are pledged to Hillary.
Try to twist this as you might...it really has very little to do with this primary, other than the primary has served as an exceptional stage for how godawful, fucking terrible she is at her job and why, should Democrats prevail in the GE, DWS should expect that she has no path to approval to any position in the administration of the next Democratic President based on poor performance in this position.
It's back to the swamplands of S. FL for her; back to being just another minor member of the US House of Representatives that anybody barely cares what she thinks...an exile from the inner workings of the Democratic party that was well-earned.

(5,235 posts)I thought this was a lock. Now you say it's not a lock. Won't this shake the faith in her supporters?

(68,555 posts)That Sanders is trying to steal the nominaton...he would lose a general of course because of the dirt that has yet to surface...the GOP has it and is ready...And he would lose both the support of women and minority voters...but Sanders is so arrogant he is gving it a try...she has won by all measures...and if Sanders screws with that we lose the General and the GOP sweeps they take all branches of government. She has low approval because of Bernies's attacks anyway...and honestly I fear a Trump presidency, but I don't know that I could vote for Sanders if he stole the nomination.

(45,319 posts)If you want to openly endorse that crap the OP gets hides for please do. 23 hides.
It's worth noting that the OP is present only because the rules were changed in the middle of the game by the admins. Changing the rules with the game afoot is called cheating and it is exactly the thing that some people see as inherent to Clinton Culture. They could not function under DU community standards so Skinner dropped all standards for them. Super cute.

(15,512 posts)There's one anonymous "lawmaker" who may or may not be Jeff Merkel but everyone else from Pelosi to Biden to Hoyer says they're strongly supporting her. And Sanders has already lost so what's the point? This has always been one of his more bizarre "ideals."

(45,319 posts)No one has promised to support nor to endorse Pay Day Debbie. Do not expect anyone to do so. She is not Hillary Clinton. If Debbie and Hillary were running against each other I would be very strongly in Camp Clinton. Debbie is on the opposite side of so many issues from me that she might as well be in that other Party. Hillary is just a centrist. Debbie is an actual conservative.

A coup is an effort by force - like real, violent force - to seize the instruments of power.
You guys get more ridiculous with each flailing effort.

(7,299 posts)Sanders wants to damage her re-election hopes in Florida. I don't believe the Democrats will play along with an Independent who has continually attacked the Party in his effort to defeat her in Florida. But, time will tell.
