Harry Reid Says the DNC Was ‘Worthless’ Under Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Since Barack Obama moved into the White House, the Democratic Party has lost 870 state and federal offices. They’ve lost control of the Senate, the House, and will soon forfeit the Oval Office.

Republicans, by contrast, lay claim to 32 state legislatures and 33 governor’s mansions — including those in the deep blue states of Vermont and Massachusetts. In 25 states, the GOP has full control of state government; for Democrats, that number is six.

~SNIP~

“I believe one of the failures of Democratic Party has been the Democratic National Committee, the DNC, has been worthless,” Reid told Nevada Public Radio in an interview published Wednesday. “They do nothing to help state parties. That should be the main goal they have. I developed everything in Nevada on my own. Their help was relatively meaningless.”

Reid continued:

So, I would hope that they would choose a chair of the Democratic Party who is a full-time person. Not someone like we had with that congresswoman from Florida, who was a full-time congresswoman and a part time chair of the DNC.

We need a full time DNC chair and what they should do – they can take my model if they want – it’s not rocket science. It doesn’t take a lot of brain power to figure out what needs to be done. They should take a few states every election cycle, maybe three maybe four, and help them develop the infrastructure for good state party organization.

A full-time person?

Hmmm, maybe Hillary can lead the DNC, she's unemployed.

On Harrys behalf, he is partially correct. He erred by leaving out their worthlessness before her leadership and afterwards.

I thought the Senate was worthless under Harry Reid.

“They do nothing to help state parties. That should be the main goal they have. I developed everything in Nevada on my own. Their help was relatively meaningless.”

He’s right in the sense that rather than deal with individual states, and the issues they face, the national leadership has instead forced an agenda on the states - and paid a steep price. That is why heterosexual working whites (primarily men, but increasingly women) have no use for the Dems; they’ve become an assortment of rejects like the “Land of Broken Toys”...

Could one not see the loser Obama becoming the DNC chair?

I sure could.

Harry, we never heard you complain a single time about the DNC or Debbie until now. Seems a bit odd. Oh well, I know socialists usually don’t go after their own except when they’ve fallen really hard and have no power and no one is protecting them anymore. Its classic Stalin and Lenin.

They just weren’t “progressive” enough. Perhaps they’ll double-down on their failed socialist policies and continue to lose elections.

Who better to define ‘worthless’?
POS Harry is the poster child.

So how did Harry evaluate Donna Braille’s performance in the interim DNC leadership job? We need to know.

If so, it was political correctness that did them in. They felt it great to promote a woman to that position. After that, they found another woman — even better — a black woman.

If they had a white man that was 10x better, he had no chance. Now they want to promote a muzzie brotherhood clown to the position. They’re freakin’ idiots.

This socialist pr*ck is still talking?

Hey Harry, no wonder your...gangsters...er...brother...er...treadmill gave you a black eye. You just don't know when to STFU. Too bad your next gig as a lobbyist won't have any influence over Trump.

Just FOAD already. You and your Pelosi ilk have done enough damage to our Nation with your socialist crap.

All these DNC folks had only one priority, it wasn't helping state organizations, it was getting Hillary into the WH.
