Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, announced Saturday that the party will conduct a full review of its poor performance in recent midterm elections.
In a video posted to YouTube, Wasserman Schultz said Democrats need to examine why their party suffered significant losses this year, costing them control of the Senate, and in 2010, when they lost control of the House. At the same time, Democrats have fared well in presidential election years, winning the White House and making gains in both chambers in 2008 and 2012.
“The electoral success we have when our presidential nominee is able to make the case to the country as a whole, doesn’t translate in other elections,” she said. “We are going to look at where we fell short. We’re going to identify our mistakes.”
The review is similar to the Republican Party’s so-called “autopsy” report after its losses in 2012. That 98-page report identified problems with the party’s image among voters and proposed several ideas to give the GOP a leg-up in future elections.
Wasserman Schultz has come under fire this year for her stewardship of the DNC. POLITICO reported in September that there was friction with the White House and congressional leaders, who said they had lost confidence in her as party chair.
Wasserman Schultz said she will name “key party stakeholders and experts” to a committee that will lead the review, and their report will be ready for the DNC’s winter meeting early next year.
“Finding real and lasting solutions to our midterm elections issues is critical to the success of the policies we care about, and the long-term strength of our party,” she said.
It should start with her resignation.
Washermouth-Putz comes across as more detached and repulsive than Bruce Braley on a heroin high in a room full of farmers not qualified to be lawyers.
You’re going a bang up job, Debbie. Keep it up.
her hair as that tangy zip of Miracle Whip
Is she the one who does her hair in a blender?
If they just look at the races they won, the review will go much faster.
An investigative committee appointed by the screw-ups.
LOL!
Any Democrat who has worked for a corporation knows what this is.
“Waste deep in the Big Muddy...”
The RATS are going to give her the back of their hand and pull her by the hair.
I woulda thought she was more of a “hellmans” sorta girl myself.

Waist!
Their review will undoubtedly say to go further left and double down on the war on women.
With a secondary recommendation of first amendment repeal and arrest of all conservative donors.
Hair like a brick of ramen noodles is always a great look, don't let them review you outa that.

I WANT HER TO STAY!!!!!!!
She’s done more to secure a Republican majority than any other Dim Chair.
She doesn’t have a clue.
And besides, she’s so doggone cute!
Hey, Greaseball Deb, your party doesn’t need a review, it needs to cease to exist altogether, kthx.
