Donna Brazile to Democrats: ?We failed you?

Quote:

Donna Brazile, the outgoing interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, kicked off a series of “future forums,” which will select her replacement, by apologizing for the party's 2016 defeats.

“I'm not going to sugarcoat it: We failed,” Brazile said. “We made some serious mistakes and some strategic errors. We got cocky about our invincible blue wall, and then we saw it crumble because of just a few thousand votes in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.”

Brazile was elevated to interim chair after the release of emails stolen from the DNC effectively forced Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) from the role. Wasserman Schultz, who was then facing a stiff primary challenge for her South Florida congressional seat, became a villain for supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who blamed her for a late-skewing and limited schedule of primary debates.

No sh*t...

Actually from the evidence it was one question. But I think the left is waking up to the fact that they lost their mission. At least that is what I think.

Not sure how many q's it was but the DNC was shown to be collaborating with Hill against Sanders.

I gotta disagree, at least mostly. I think the majority of the blame on the Dems part was Hillary herself. I don't blame the DNC that much. To me, Hill is just a bad candidate and campaigner. She lost in 08 to an unknown Senator and then this election to Trump, despite her being the heavy favorite and a far bigger campaign money chest.

Clinton is just not likable. She comes off fake and not in touch with the average voter.

So no, I wouldn't blame the DNC much at all. If anything, I would blame Sanders more for taking votes away from Clinton.

The democrats didn't fail as much as they thought....

The country was ready for another large political shift and Trump came in with an angry tide of American voters wanting something different....

Hill was not Bill and she lost her second attempt at the top job...

Donna B. feels she was true to her mission. Her "conscience - as an activist, a strategist - is very clear." There were at least 2 or more questions sent to Podesta / Palmieri; death penalty and the lady with the rash. She is still fulfilling her mission by not admitting the obvious and instead playing the victim of an international cyber conspiracy.
