Former Democratic National Committee head Donna Brazile writes in a new book that she seriously contemplated replacing Hillary Clinton as the partys 2016 presidential nominee with then-Vice President Biden in the aftermath of Clintons fainting spell, in part because Clintons campaign was anemic and had taken on the odor of failure.
In an explosive new memoir, Brazile details widespread dysfunction and dissension throughout the Democratic Party, including secret deliberations over using her powers as interim DNC chair to initiate the process of removing Clinton and running mate Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.) from the ticket after Clintons Sept. 11, 2016, collapse in New York City.
Brazile writes that she considered a dozen combinations to replace the nominees and settled on Biden and Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.), the duo she felt most certain would win over enough working-class voters to defeat Republican Donald Trump. But then, she writes, I thought of Hillary, and all the women in the country who were so proud of and excited about her. I could not do this to them.
Brazile paints a scathing portrait of Clinton as a well-intentioned, historic candidate whose campaign was badly mismanaged, took minority constituencies for granted and made blunders with stiff and stupid messages. The campaign was so lacking in passion for the candidate, she writes, that its New York headquarters felt like a sterile hospital ward where someone had died.

“Odor of Failure” and Clinton just roll off the tongue.
Kaine may have those issues, but he made no difference on that ticket. That election was all about Clinton. Didn't matter who the Veep was.
While Id never suggest Biden, he was both the natural successor and a thousand percent less voter-detested than HilLIARy. He could have won Just by not being Old HillOfSh!t
Hillary could have just used the pins she sticks into her Trump doll.
Reminds me of Clinton Treasury official Josh Steiner who in 1994, claimed he lied in his diary.

But she chose to stay with her all those years. Must have been some reason she enjoyed being Hillary's "house n***er."
He is fluent in Spanish and they thought it would generate Hispanic turnout at rallies and the polls.
No, really.
Clean up this mess and tell Obama to get me a drink.
I have now changed my mind. I want hillary to run again. The mess she creates in the dem party will be fantastic
Yes, but the fact that Kankles chose a castrated boring creepy clown as VP spoke volumes about her terrible judgement.
Picking a running mate is a huge first decision for any POTUS candidate, and she picked a retarded version of Pennywise the Evil Clown from “It.”
LMAO
Heck, all of you are assuming she actually wrote the book. Ghost written by some dem-o-rat hack?
Wouldn’t it be hooting hilarious if Donna Brazile outsells Hillary’s “What Happened” by a ton?
How’s Hillary going to blame it on? “Rank Sexism”? “Russians”?
First thing you gotta ask is how are the clintons involved with this diversion.
:-)
"What Happened - Vol. 2"
She’s a witch so she might live a long time with help from the dark side.
She IS thinking about how to run again in 2020.
I don’t care what anyone says.
