Former Democratic National Committee head Donna Brazile writes in a new book that she seriously contemplated replacing Hillary Clinton as the party’s 2016 presidential nominee with then-Vice President Biden in the aftermath of Clinton’s fainting spell, in part because Clinton’s 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 Clinton’s 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.”

I heard a report this morning that she’s backed off some of her claims (Brazile, I mean).
Monday Morning Quarterback
So Donna Brazziere gets to personally pick major party candidates. Good to know.
She tried to leave the plantation...but couldn’t.
Donna seems so angry at hillary that one wonders if hillary had an affair with one of Donna’s girls?
That would have been a quick walk into the woods for her.
Yeah, no Donna, you did as you were told by Hillary and shut your damn mouth if you wanted to keep your job.
EVERYONE is stabbing at the Clintons now :)
Great when they eat their own.
The left wants Bill, Hill and the hideous spawn to go away.
Like yesterday.
Cabbage and urine?
She sure did!!! Heard it on Fox early this morning and there are articles online as well.
I think her coming out with this info as she has done was a deliberate strategic move to position Biden for 2020.
The long knives are out.
If she had done that she would have been found dead with two in the back of the hat and ruled a suicide.
Add Donna Brazile to Hillary’s list of who to blame for her loss.
Too much heat...and fear of ft Marcy park
wow, just wow. we all need some more popcorn as we watch this unfold.
Where’s Hillary? Would love to see her interviewed now, and get reactions to some of these revelations........
Guess she’s afraid of being shot while standing on line for coffee.
The Democrats are obviously worried that Hillary is considering another run in 2020. So they are coming at her guns-a-blazin’. Nothing is unplanned on their side.
Dona is setting herself up to run for president in 2020. Obama is making his and Donna’s grab for the Democratic party.
