The party’s Brazile-ion mistakes
To adapt the adapted William Congreve line, the Democratic Party hath no fury like a woman scorned. And Donna Brazile, the former interim Democratic National Committee chairwoman, has a few scores to settle.
Brazile, who was elevated to interim chairwoman status last summer when former chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned after allegations mounted that she tried to steer the party’s nomination to Hillary Clinton, has written a book, “Hacks,” that is claimed to be a no-holds-barred expose on the party’s failures to elect Clinton.
The longtime politico and former Al Gore presidential campaign manager herself was fired by CNN last year after it was revealed she gave Clinton ahead of time some of the questions that she would get in a debate with now-President Donald Trump.
Reportedly, the party already is angry at what Brazile is supposed to have written, which is said to describe the party as being such a mess that it couldn’t help the candidate deal with Trump, whose campaign had far less money and organization than hers.
