A day of humiliation for party chair underscores Democratic divide

What was supposed to be a morning of personal triumph for Debbie Wasserman Schultz — rallying her home-state delegation before opening the Democratic National Convention she had orchestrated — suddenly became one of humiliation.

“Shame!” people in the room jeered as the congresswoman addressed a Monday breakfast of the Florida delegation. “Shame!”

It was a cringe-worthy, nationally televised spectacle that exposed deep divisions within the Democratic Party and reopened raw wounds from the Hillary Clinton-Bernie Sanders primary battles. By the afternoon, Wasserman Schultz had disappeared here in Philadelphia, after also giving up her speaking slot and her ceremonial role gaveling the convention to order.

She’s been my congressman all these years. I’ve met her once or twice. I’ve even done sound systems for her events at my job. I have voted for all her opponents. Even though she probably brought all this upon herself, I can’t help but feel the humiliation she went through today. But, never underestimate the tenacity of the left to unify and vote for their party. Unlike some our navel-gazing principled conservative friends.

At their core, democrats are crazy. You put that many together in a confined space, don’t order, discipline or logic.

“The DNC has begun an investigation of internal emails”

Should be a pretty easy investigation since pretty much everyone in the DNC was in on it. Not to mention all they have to do is search the online wikileaks website for the relevant emails in the first 20,000 stolen emails, and then wait for the rest to be made public.

They said Schultz worked all her life for this moment, and they slammed the hood on her head.

Classic comedy gold.

In real time, we are seeing the breakup of the Democrat Party.

When the Democrats say "for the greater good" it means "you peasants must sacrifice for the chosen ones" (us, not you). It's the reason gun bans will never work. We know better than to sacrifice our guns while they lie and keep theirs.

Asking permission to use your last sentence as my sig.

It really is fascinating to watch this unfold before our very eyes in real time, constantly whenever we want updates.

Republican party as well. No decent American not connected to government would have anything to do with these slime but for the fact they write the Tax codes.

Thanks, it’s just right on and I wouldn’t feel right passing it off as my own.

I actually know what you mean, and really do try to give people some slack who fail in public, because it really isn't easy being a public figure. But then, yeah, she caused her own downfall, this is totally her own fault.

If it makes you feel better, here is her tweet before the republican convention:

Hey @Reince - I'm in Cleveland if you need another chair to help keep your convention in order. #RNCinCLE

Poor convention Chair Marcia Fudge. She was totally rattled during her address to the convention. She even scolded the crowd at several points => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ-0AOgqTOs
