Debbie Wasserman Schultz fails - miserably - to explain the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist



Usually, when a completely discredited very important Democrat appears on the Chris Matthews program, you expect to see a lot of coddling and hand holding. These people represent Matthews' team, and he can normally be counted on to go easy with the questions. Every once in a while, though, he lives up to the show's name and lobs a Hardball. - See more at: [url=http://www.caintv.com/debbie-wasserman-schultz-fails#sthash.5OFqU23F.dpuf]http://www.caintv.com/debbie-wasserman-schultz-fails#sthash.5OFqU23F.dpuf[/url]

Take, for example, a recent interview with DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The subject of Bernie Sanders came up, and Matthews asked his guest if she thought a proud socialist should be allowed to speak at the Democrat Convention. After all, Sanders may caucus with Dems but he's an Independent, not a member of their party. "Of course he should speak," Wasserman Schultz replied. This seemed to throw Matthews, who asked “What is the difference between a Democrat and a socialist? I used to think there was a big difference, but what do you think it is?” Wasserman Schultz tried to dodge, but Matthews pressed on. “You’re the chairman of the Democratic Party. Tell me the difference between you and a socialist.” Unfortunately, she had no answer. That's because, nowadays, there is no difference. Democrats have long been lost down the rabbit hole of wealth redistribution and statism. Socialism is no longer some sort of outlier that falls under the Democrats' "big tent." It's the hallmark of their base. Ms. Wasserman Schultz knows this, but she also knows that admitting it would be politically disastrous - not just for the party she fronts - but for her personal electoral prospects.
