Reply #10: Would the DNC Chair have to explain nuanced right-leaning Dem choices?

[zulchzulu]

Let's say the DNC Chair has to explain how Hillary Clinton voted for the new attack on Iran or had to explain why any certain front-leading candidate chose a decision that would not be seen as a vote that a lot of the Democratic base might vote for in polls.

Would the DNC Chair have to explain in nuanced form decisions like that while at a fundraiser where many of the moderates in the crowd might agree with?

Would alienating them at that fundraiser (and thus causing a storm) be worth it by not having them contribute money to the Democratic party even if they agree with 90% of the rest of the Democratic platform?

Perhaps these questions need to be asked of all the contenders for the DNC Chair.

It wouldn't just be "where do you want to take the party" questions.

It would and should be tough questions that would have to balance the value of the dollar to get money into Democratic party coffers over the Progressive Purity Litmus Test.

I'm thinking that Dean and most of the other contenders would end up being complacent to the moderate that they might politically disagree with in order to get the money for future races.
