As I have mentioned before, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has a primary challenger, who I have endorsed, Tim Canova<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Well, it appears that our lady of the unmanageable hair is spooked, because she has changed DNC policies to protect her own sorry political career<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Debbie Wasserman Schultz\u2019s reputation as DNC chair<\/a> has plummeted to the point where she is being challenged in the Democratic Primary for her congressional seat for the first time ever. Her poor leadership of the DNC<\/a> contributed to significant losses in the 2014 midterm elections for Democrats, and the way she has handled the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries has irked both Bernie Sanders\u2019 and Hillary Clinton\u2019s supporters, as well as many of her colleagues. Just a few weeks ago, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, one of five DNC vice chairs, resigned<\/a> from her position to support Mr. Sanders. <\/p>\n

To help save her public image, Ms. Wasserman Schultz has authored desperate Op-Eds for various news outlets in attempts to come off as relatable. \u201cHaving a perspective of a working mother has helped in the role as a legislator,\u201d the Florida congresswoman wrote (poorly) for US News<\/a>. Ms. Wasserman Schultz\u2019s explanation of how being a mother in government poses challenges fails to mention her privileged financial status. Most working mothers do not have the salary of a U.S. congresswoman plus a husband\u2019s banker income to pay for things like childcare. <\/p>\n

And now, to help rig her own election in the Democratic primaries, Ms. Wasserman Schultz is blocking any challenger to a Democratic incumbent from accessing the voter file database\u2014a vital campaign tool for any election. <\/p>\n

\u201cLast week, I called the Florida Democratic Party to request access to the voter file database and software known as VAN that is routinely used by Democratic candidates across the country,\u201d wrote Tim Canova, Ms. Wasserman Schultz\u2019s primary challenger, in an article on Medium<\/a>. \u201cI was told that our campaign would be denied access to this database because I am running against an incumbent Democrat, Debbie Wasserman Schultz<\/a>. I was also told that any Democratic candidate running against an incumbent Democrat would be denied access\u200a\u2014\u200aeven a lifelong progressive challenging an out-of-touch incumbent.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Actually, it’s especially<\/b> for an out of touch incumbent hack.<\/p>\n

BTW, the DNC is not supposed to choose sides in a contested primary.<\/p>\n

Seriously.  She  \u2026\u2026\u2026 Needs  \u2026\u2026\u2026 To  \u2026\u2026\u2026 Be  \u2026\u2026\u2026 Fired<\/span><\/b>, both from the DNC, and from Congress.<\/p>\n

She shouldn’t be elected dog catcher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
