Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz is in a behind-the-scenes struggle with the White House, congressional Democrats and Washington insiders who have lost confidence in her as both a unifying leader and reliable party spokesperson at a time when they need her most.
Long-simmering doubts about her have reached a peak after two recent public flubs: criticizing the White House’s handling of the border crisis and comparing the tea party to wife beaters.
The perception of critics is that Wasserman Schultz spends more energy tending to her own political ambitions than helping Democrats win. This includes using meetings with DNC donors to solicit contributions for her own PAC and campaign committee, traveling to uncompetitive districts to court House colleagues for her potential leadership bid and having DNC-paid staff focus on her personal political agenda.
She’s become a liability to the DNC, and even to her own prospects, critics say.
“I guess the best way to describe it is, it’s not that she’s losing a duel anywhere, it’s that she seems to keep shooting herself in the foot before she even gets the gun out of the holster,” said John Morgan, a major donor in Wasserman Schultz’s home state of Florida.
The stakes are high. Wasserman Schultz is a high-profile national figure who helped raise millions of dollars and served as a Democratic messenger to female voters during a presidential election in which Obama needed to exploit the gender gap to win, but November’s already difficult midterms are looming.
One example that sources point to as particularly troubling: Wasserman Schultz repeatedly trying to get the DNC to cover the costs of her wardrobe.
In 2012, Wasserman Schultz attempted to get the DNC to pay for her clothing at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, (snip)

No boobs on the ground, I say.
Butt...butt...butt...she’s America’s favorite Nutty Butty! She’s a ditz too!
Debbie ‘Waz-A-Man’ Schulz!!!
Latest reports are saying that many in the DNC volunteered to pay for one item of attire for Debbie Was-a-Man Schultz. However, she refused their offer, even though they told her any color of bag for her head she wanted to buy would be paid for in full.
She's comparing Tea Party Members to Ray Rice?
I like this story of political opportunist vs Mr. Arrogance:
In mid-June, he (Obama) attended two in one afternoon in New York, including the DNC LGBT Gala. Wasserman Schultz waited until the end of the photo line to swoop in.
“Mr. President,” she said, according to people familiar with the encounter. “I just want you to know, the DNC has retired its debt.”
Obama looked at her.
“Debbie, you think I don’t know?” he said. “I’m the president of the United States.”
“Just like Pelosi, Debbie is going BALD. Pelosi keeps forgetting her scalp makeup, and so does Debbie.”
But she has an ample supply of Mayonnaise to use as a “hair preparation.” Whatever the two of them are using, it has affected their brains.
“She forgot to rinse!”
And just what year was that?
What a load of B.S.
Funny, does anyone know who runs the RNC? Do we see that person attacking the opposition like the good little Soldier Debbie does against us?
The squeaky wheel gets the grease and plenty of Rats buy into Debbie’s every word, no matter how idiotic they may sound to us.
Rubbing Pelosi’s button every day can take you only so far.....
Given how she frequently acts in public, does it surprise anyone?
Where’d her other hip go?
