Elderly socialist coot, Bernie Sanders, is openly supporting Debbie Wasserman Schultz's primary opponent. To take it a step further, he's promised that - in the event of a reality-defying miracle that grants him control of the oval office - she would no longer be welcome as chairwoman of the DNC. Among the Democrat base, Wasserman Schultz is widely regarded as the pro-Clinton force that's working to rig the Democrat primaries, so her ouster is just one more reason they're hoping for a Sanders victory.
But, it's starting to sound like dumping Wasserman Schultz may not hinge on Bernie's fortunes.Democrats backing likely presidential nominee Hillary Clinton worry Wasserman Schultz has become too divisive a figure to unify the party in 2016, which they say is crucial to defeating presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump in November.“There have been a lot of meetings over the past 48 hours about what color plate do we deliver Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s head on,” said one pro-Clinton Democratic senator. The lawmaker said senators huddled on the chamber floor last week to talk about Wasserman Schultz’s future and estimated that about a dozen have weighed in during private conversations. “I don’t see how she can continue to the election. How can she open the convention? Sanders supporters would go nuts,” said the lawmaker, who requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the discussions.
