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.

"Since Barack Obama moved into the White House..."

Old Dingy Harry can't seem to make the connection.

Harry Reid Says the DNC is ‘Worthless’ and I agree. I think in the original statement he misspoke. He is getting old so I can understand that.

DWS was chair of the DNC because she would mouth every single loony piece of lying crapola masquerading as dem talking points at every opportunity.

She would give voice to the most outrageous untrue propaganda the dems could think of. She delivered it with conviction, repetition, and stridency. That was her gift. The next DNC chair will have to have the same qualities.

Fortunately most of the dogs in enough states didn't want to eat that dog food anymore.

I think Joe Biden said pretty much the same thing. Sounds like the long knives are out for the Clintons.

She came out of the “Bagdad Bob” school of journalism.

What was Debbie when she wasn't human? Romulan? Vulcan? Reptilian?

And are Howard Dean, Tim Kaine, and Donna Brazile really full-time human beings?

PS I notice that in spite of her recent disgrace, Donna Brazile is back as acting DNC chair.

Does that really send the right message?

Donna Brazile always reminded me of Aunt Jemima. If anyone is good with photoshopping, please post a picture of her on an Aunt Jemina pancake box.
